Just one more tidbit, the above review's conclusion... it says so much about the times, the late-'60s and today, and fills me with such a bittersweet feeling over all that was lost, and won. I especially think this first sentence says it all about Yoko:
Or maybe she couldn't help it—maybe the media turns famous people into one-dimensional caricatures, especially if they're quiet and flamboyant at the same time like she is. But if Yoko had been more of a talker, or if the American public had had more knowledge of 20th Century art and politics, she and John might have had more influence, might have sent fewer eyeballs rolling. Henry Kissinger might have done his own public Bed-In for peace with one of his "trophy chicks" instead of working with Nixon to bomb Cambodia on Christmas Day.
