Yoko sez ''Give peas a chance...''
Yoko Ono Tuesday pleaded with the world to "Give Peace A Chance" with the release on the MTV music channel of a short film to mark the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks. We did that. It didn't work. Shut the hell up. John Lennon's widow said in a statement: "Let's create peace, unity and light. I think John's words are needed just as much now as when they were written — 'Imagine all the people living in peace' and 'Give Peace A Chance."' Is that a lump in my throat? No, by golly! It's my gag reflex kicking in... The film starts with the viewer trailing down a dark corridor to reach a door with light pouring through it. Yoko Ono greets the viewers and takes them up a ladder to read the words "Give Peace A Chance" written on the ceiling. Oh, goody. I just love pretentiousness... "Like all of us, I'd like to see the human race survive, living in health and in love with each other," said the Japanese artist whose Beatle husband was gunned down in front of their New York apartment in 1980. Like all of us, I hate it when intellectual lightweights preach to the rest of us, using hackneyed cliches so old they've been eroded smooth. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-09-10 |
