Oh, the inevitable "Yoko Ono RIP" discussion over there is gonna be fuckin' priceless...
Sargon is ready alright (and has an eye on a possible business opportunity):
"I'm truly saddened heartened by her failing health. I'm sure Sean will draw strength from Julian during this time. (They are very close). Yoko was an integral part of the Beatles/Lennon story and inspiration behind so many of John's songs.
The recent reports of her declining health did prompt me to purchase any remaining things related to her before prices skyrocket. I was already 99% done. Already got some signed Imagine books, copies of all her sealed Apple records . The only thing missing I still wanted was a 70 U.K. edition of Grapefruit in great shape. It's on the way.
I have a friend who's buddies with May Pang. She's gonna sign the photography book she wrote. The funny thing is she sent to May on her phone pics of my Beatles room to see. (Maybe she got a kick out of my Walls and Bridges "Listen To this Mobile" - somthing from her time period with John). They only made 1000 of these. I have an original Capitol order invoice."
Sargon, Tuesday at 7:54 PM
That reminds me of my one money grubbing co-worker who went round the city buying up every Blackstar LP he could find after Bowie kicked it, thinking he could sell the vinyl at an inflated price online. I think he did actually manage to sell a few...

Let's talk about Linda McCarFUCK THAT LET'S TALK ABOUT YOKO Yay or Nay? - Linda McCartney backing vocals on Wings releases?Don't have a problem with her vocals, don't know that I would classify it as soulful. She sounds like all the girls in my high school choral group. Still, better than Yoko. A cat being slowly disembowelled would sound better than Yoko Not as bad as Yoko’s “singing”.

“I was just telling my wife over the weekend how essential Linda’s vocals were to the Wings sound. And they certainly did a lot to help distinguish Wings from Paul’s previous combo.”
I don’t know what this dude or his wife look like, but I can absolutely see her eyes roll when he starts talking about The Beatles yet again…

Someone fortunately posted a video showing how fucking horrible she was. Of course the truth means nothing to the Bea-tards

I'd tend to agree. Yet McCartney insisted on dragging the poor woman around the fuckin' globe as his keyboardist/harmony singer, simply because he knew he was too fuckin' weak to keep it in his pants if she wasn't around to keep him in check and the marriage would have been fucked as soon as the first Wings tour would have finished. Let's not forget Linda McCartney wasn't exactly a willing participant when it first came to Wings. And I bet Paul still fucked around on her over the course of their nineteen year marriage.

I remember when she died, his statement said something like the only nights they spent apart during their whole marriage was when they were in jail in Japan, so I think he was probably a good boy.
Back to her musical contributions, in Infinite Jest, one of the drug-addled protagonists is tortured by being tied to a chair and forced to listen to isolated tracks of Linda’s backing vocals from a live rendition of Hey Jude by Wings on repeat.

The famous Hey Jude tape comes from the Knebworth charity concert held in the summer of 1990. It was broadcast live on BBC Radio, and my former boss at the BBC (who was there at the time) told me the story behind it. The McCartney dynamic has always been that Paul is the nice guy while those around him are hard-faced cunts. Paul will be nice to your face and then get one of his minions to do his dirty work. Pete Best can testify to this.
At that time, Linda was the pushy one, and had been making life hell for the sound crew. Among other things, she kicked up a fuss about engineers eating ham sandwiches during their lunch break. My boss, who said years later that she was one of the most obnoxious people he'd ever met, said that his boss wasn't prepared to take dietary advice from somebody so clearly coked off their tits. When they heard Linda's mic on prefade, they decided to record it onto a cassette. Copies circulated at a low level for a few years, until one of them made it over to somebody working in American radio, after which the genie was out of the bottle.

Paul is a fucking cunt. Have you seen about him supressing a tape of Linda?
Linda recorded an interview with some dude and she admitted Paul mentally abused her, he would lash at her and get all weird.
lemme find the link

Wait, you were actually discussing Linda with your wife? You're supposed to be telling her how essential Linda was to Wings.
