Lennon documentary blocked by Ono


Recommended Posts

yokoono.jpgJohn Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has blocked the screening of a US documentary about the ex-Beatle.

3 Days in the Life uses film taken two months before the band split in 1970.

Executive producer Ray Thomas set up a free screening at a private school in Maine because he could not get Ono's permission for a commercial screening.

But Ono said she had a copyright interest in the film and any screening would breach copyright. The school said it still hoped to host the film.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
