I pity past generations who didn’t have access to Yoko Ono’s beautiful music at the tap of a touchpad. Back in the old days, people who wanted to enjoy such soothing sounds had to go to a record store or burn down an animal shelter.
In order to capture all the subtle nuances and powerful emotion in the following a cappella anti-Trump protest song, I encourage you to turn up your volume full-blast. Make sure the neighbors can hear. It’s the only way we’re going to change things.
Dear Friends,
I would like to share this message with you as my response to @realDonaldTrump
love, yoko pic.twitter.com/s1BqfUgfLr— Yoko Ono (@yokoono) November 11, 2016
Thank you, Yoko. Thank you, modern technology. Thank you, gift of hearing.
In addition to its obvious artistic merit, this is a powerful political statement. Who knows, maybe this is the way to stop Trump. After all, it’s how she stopped the Beatles.
I can’t remember… has Yoko ever given us her musical reaction to Obama’s presidency? She wants to give peace a chance, and yet a lot of people have died in Obama’s wars. Apparently, it doesn’t matter because he isn’t a Republican.
Sometimes karma is instant. Sometimes it takes a while. In this case, it’s been eight long years.
