So.... Yoko Ono did NOT break the Beatles.

Too bad that was never gonna happen as long as Phil Spector was around. He was the one who wouldn't allow the Ronettes to tour with the Beatles and controlled every aspect of Ronnie (Bennett) Spector's life until she finally divorced him. He supposedly even once pulled a gun on John Lennon during a recording session. The man was a loose cannon...

Well, I'd have preferred spanking Yoko Ono's bare bottom to John Lennon's, but there were certainly contemporary female singers of that era (late 1960s-early '70s) whom I would've much rather paddled--Linda Ronstadt, Petula Clark and Diana Ross to name a few 'just off the top of my head.' (I'd also have much rather listened to their singing than hers.)

Seeing her in those nude photographs, Yoko struck me as a mediocre bodily specimen of a woman--I certainly wouldn't ever accuse Lennon of having been focused on physical attractiveness in choosing his life partner... --C.K.

Lennon did a Playboy interview at the time in which he referred to the old song "Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang Of Mine" and mentioning that the other Beatles couldn't just drop by with guitars like they used to thus indicating that Yoko was a big part of the band drifting apart.

Maybe you should view the film she made featuring no less than 260 bare bottoms. I'm sure you'll find one or two that are spankable.

There was more than the affair of John and Yoko in play when the band called it quits, George was involved with meditation, the Yogis of India and became enamored with the sitar and collaboration was stilted. And really, many bands fail to approach the volume and diversity of the Beatles. Creativity flounders when a group is static. They never were.

I always thought it was obvious she didn't, john and paul were not getting along for years before that.

On the subject of Ono being spanked, she seems more of a spanker than a spankee to me.
