Ono OKs Lennon Acoustic Disc

NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2004

"He was just such an incredible guitarist and most people don't know that. Just the way he picks the guitar is so beautiful, you would think that he had training in Spanish classical guitar or something."

Yoko Ono

(AP) Yoko Ono knows she could probably release old recordings of John Lennon yodeling and there would be market for it.

Outtakes, musical flubs or subpar recordings may generate sales, but Lennon's widow says would never release such material. She's always been choosy about what the public hears from her late husband's musical archives.

"People have tried to make me do that - like people will love it anyway, and I'm not doing it," Ono told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. "I know how astute John was and John would have hated to have been seen in that light. He wanted to just bring out things that he felt was good enough."

Ono feels the previously unreleased material on the new album "Acoustic" lives up to the Beatle's high standards. The disc, released this week, simply features Lennon and his guitar on live renditions of classics such as "Imagine" and "Watching the Wheels," as well as versions of songs that he recorded in his home.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." 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...
