goodreasonnews: ohnotheragen: iamrockyraccoon-: ifyouuloveme: The glasses just… God, when I saw them, I… I’m breathless. Why John Lennon had to die? Why? The glasses. I’m crying. Why is this a picture.   It’s poignant. Spread this. Create some sort of meaning. Yoko Ono took this picture. She used it as the cover for her 1981 album “Season of Glass.” Yoko has long been a hard-working activist in the name of reducing gun violence, helping to champion legal causes, raising funds and awareness even to this day (check her twitter account). She and John were both advocates of conceptual art. They intended to use their fame as a campaign for peace, using cleverly design “advertising slogan,” like peace was a product they were selling. “Give Peace a Chance,” “War is Over, if you want it” “Power to the People,” are all specifically tailored to sound like marketing slogans. I think Yoko might have had these concepts in mind when making the decision to use this as the cover. It put it in everyone’s face. It put all the causes that they wanted to stand for right up in everybody’s face and forced them to question where they stand. It’s like she’s saying you’re not going to be allowed to forget what John and I tried to do for the world.

Thought of the day XVII

Maybe I don’t hate Sir Paul as much as I thought I did. But, John and George are still better.

…except Paul’s album Memory Almost Full totally fucking rules.
