YOKO ONO HAS NEW RESPECT FOR BEATLES

Beatle John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono who barely knows the famed groups songs, just realized their music is "special" when she recently revisited the band’s catalogue. Famous in her own right as a artist, Ono met Lennon in 1966, at the height of the super groups fame, and was married to him until his death in New York City in 1980. Yoko is now confessing that she is no expert on the band’s music, and gained a new appreciation of the tracks when she helped organize the release of remastered versions of their albums earlier this month. She says, "I didn’t know the Beatles’ songs so well until I started to become responsible for them. Having to check it, listen to it, and make sure everything is alright reminded me how each one has some kind of special energy." Ono is also very adamant the new The Beatles: Rock Band video game is a good move, because it will spearhead a second coming for the famous band. She adds, "It’s not about chopping heads. It’s going to promote peace and love. It’s going to be fantastic. It is like the second Beatles revolution in a sense. It’s going to make this planet into an artistic place… I think John would have loved it."
