She has sent me an autographed postcard that has a piece of the sky on it (a blue square) and it states "lets meet again in 10 years and put the sky back together again Love Yoko"
John Lennon and Yoko Ono wrote the song (whose first line is "And so this is Christmas", so it is sometimes mistaken for the title) in their New York City hotel room, and recorded it (with the Harlem Community Boys Choir) during the evening of October 28 and into the morning of the 29th, 1971 at the Record Plant in New York. It was released in the US for Christmas, but didn't chart. The next year, it was released in the UK, where it did much better.
John Lennon considered New York to be where it was all happening at the time, the cultural centre of the world. He said in 1971, "If I lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself."
No. She lived with art dealer Sam Havadtoy for years after Lennon's death, but they were never married. (Sean Lennon thanks "Mom and Sam" in the liner notes to his first album, Into The Sun.)
That's up to you. It's all about your opinion because everyone has a different one. Some people like her and some don't.
Lennon didn't intend to meet Yoko Ono at first. A friend of Lennon's, John Dunbar, co-owned an art gallery where Ono put on a display of her works. Lennon was in the habit of visiting art galleries at the time, and saw the display a night before its official opening, while Ono was still putting everything in place. The fact that many of her "artworks" were basically sight gags, and carried a positive message, made Lennon want to get better acquainted with the artist.
The amount is undisclosed, and Julian Lennon is not permitted to discuss it by written agreement. He has said publicly that he would have preferred to have some of his father's song copyrights, to pass on to his own heirs. (He spent much of the money to re-acquire items that once belonged to John.)
The amount was most likely a mere pittance. Yoko asked Julian which of his father's guitars he'd like to have. When Julian chose John's Rickenbacker (the one he played at Shea Stadium), Yoko said, "no", that was reserved for Sean.
In New York City, in the same apartment she shared with John Lennon and their son Sean, in the Dakota.
She lives at the Dakota building in NYC 72nd street.
I saw her in a restaurant in Chinatown on 3/28/10 - she was with a guy but of course I have no idea if she's dating him
They got married in 1969 and moved to New York a few years later. They started a band called The Plastic Ono Band. He left the music business in 1975 to raise his son. He decided to go back to doing music in 1980 but was shot outside his home around the time he started his career again.
I suppose the same place she lived in for about 40 years, the Dakota Buildings in New York. But I don't know the exact location.
John and Yoko met when John attended one of Yoko's art shows at the Indicca Gallery in London.
John and Yoko's brief separation is quite interesting. May Pang was hired by Allen Klein's office (which at the time represented The Beatles' company Apple Records as well as the four Beatles themselves) in the late 1960s. She was later asked to become John and Yoko's personal assistant in 1973. They were having marital problems and decided to separate. Yoko had this wild idea and suggested to May that she become John's companion, or 'mistress'. John and May stayed in Los Angeles for a while. May encouraged John to mend some of relationships. He met up with Paul McCartney for the first, and only, time since the breakup and they seemed to be on good terms again. She also arranged to have his son Julian visit him, the first time he had seen his son in four years. They saw each other a lot more regularly after that. May and John moved back to New York in 1974 and adopted two cats called Major and Minor. They moved into a penthouse and claimed to have seen a UFO.
In February 1975 Yoko and John reconciled after she claimed to have found a cure for his smoking habit. He referred to the eighteen months he spent with May as his "Lost Weekend".
He was either 25 or 26 according to two different versions of when they met.
They got acquainted over about eighteen months. He and McCartney sponsored one of her art shows, and contributed a score to a book she compiled about modern composers. She sent Lennon postcards about her events and ideas, and sometimes letters. When he was in India, they wrote more regularly, and he began getting up early to collect the mail before his wife saw it. He said later it was while he was away in India that he started thinking about Ono "as a woman, not just an intellectual woman".
After he returned to England, his wife went to Greece with friends, and her husband was in Paris on business, and Ono visited Lennon at his home. They took LSD together, listened to some of his private recordings, and used them to make one of their own. (This came out later, as the "Two Virgins" album.) Lennon realized she was someone "I could really be myself with", and who inspired him like nobody could.
Not at all, she has sacrificed so much in life but remains a very peaceful woman. She spent the 60's and 70's fighting for peace and an end to war with her husband, John Lennon. After he passed, she kept fighting for it, even though her biggest inspiration was dead. She fought for equality and peace. That isn't evil at all. She was not evil.
