REVIEW: Nels Cline Singers with Yuka Honda @ Doug Fir Lounge (Portland, OR –1/30/11)

( Scroll down for Photographs of Sean and rest of article)

As evidenced above, Sean & Charlotte watched from side of the stage during the first set, until Sean disappeared only to come up on stage to tambourine with the group for the last song in the first set.

Wow Nico, you really gave some detailed responses to those questions! I will have to respond in more detail when i have a better connection, none of those YouTube vids are loading :-(
Sorry, we had massive ice storms here and lots of power and Internet outages)

But, clearly you ARE a big Yoko fan! I can't say i have met anyone who could name ONE Yoko song, let alone 15! I will have to give her a chance and listen to some of those tracks you suggested. And Julian too, I never really gave him a chance either. Though i am at least familiar with some of his more famous songs. Sean, i love Seans music, and his new stuff with his wife is interesting too. I like unconventional music more than MOR, right now I am on a Flaming Lips kick, so i am immersing myself with all of their stuff. Again, thanks for the great responses and i will reply in more detail asap! Take care...

What Men Can Learn About Love From John Lennon - National Nonverbal Communication

I recently saw a bumper sticker that read, "I still hate Yoko Ono." Yoko Ono has perhaps been the most criticised public figure in the media, accused of breaking up the Beatles, deeply resented by the masses, publicly called, "ugly" and surviving having her music and voice the butt of every Beatle joke for all time. Yoko Ono, the target of hate and jealousy which she and John have openly said they found hurtful. While Yoko has never claimed to be a pop-music artist, sensational as she is, she has shown tremendous strength in marching forward artistically despite being the target of heavy spitting of emotional poison. After all, it was her unique style of artful expression that caught the attention of the most legendary man in rock music- John Lennon. One must suspect the truth behind all of this public hate was the utter disbelief that this small, unassuming yet formidable woman won John Lennon's heart and undying love.*

Elton John: Lady Gaga Like John Lennon

Well, she has worn a mop-top wig before...

Elton John provides the music for the new Disney-produced lawn love story 'Gnomeo and Juliet,' and in one notable track, the singer does a duet with Lady Gaga. Apparently, she made a good impression -- he's comparing her to a Beatle.

"I love her, she's absolutely amazing. We've become friends. What I like about the Gaga most is that she's amazingly polite and respectful to everyone around her," the singer told The Daily Mirror. "What I loved most about John Lennon is that he was like that. He once gave my mum a lift to the airport and came to my agent's wedding. The Gaga is like that."

This isn't Gaga's first brush with Lennon's legacy. In October, Gaga performed with Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, as part of the experimental band Lennon and Ono formed in the 70's, Plastic Ono Band. And speaking about that in December, Ono said Lennon would have loved her.

"I think she's wonderful. John would have loved her, because she's an artist, she's fearless and she pushes every limit, which we both always adored," Ono said.

Good thing -- in July, Lennon's son Sean tweeted a photo of Gaga playing at his legendary white piano, which drew criticism from fans, though Sean and Ono defended the action.
