Wow! a true artist of pain.

Her singing makes murder justifiable.

It's all John Lennon's fault. What was he thinking?

Sure Yoko helped him overcome the depression, distress and anger caused by McCartney's take over, but surely he could have found a more private way to thank her than give her an outlet for her particular brand of noise.

John always claimed she predated the B-52s, but I'm not sure that there's any comparison.

I have two.  You should all recognize them by the opening lines:

“Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again”

and

“there must be some kind of way out of here, said the joker to the thief”

I have numerous versions by the songwriters and even more cover versions of each.  Love them all.
