Because normies generally aren’t aware of Zappa, Beefheart, et al., whereas Yoko’s improbable connection to what was probably the most popular musical group in the world for much of the 20th Century out her squarely on their radar. Also, honestly, there’s probably a little misogyny at play.
- h0l0cube 5y agoI was just pointing out how irrational it is that people are upset with her and John for making experimental music, because, you know, that's what they wanted to do as artists. I didn't mention anything about sexism, but it is telling that the dominant narrative is that John Lennon is some kind of simp. Yoko didn't so much ruin The Beatles, as much as John had an affinity for her take on things and already had his own creative differences with the rest of the band.
