I'm interested to hear peoples views on this cover. A daring move for sure, but what was the message? I admire John for doing this. I think he was showing he was unashamed and uncompromising with his ideals. It seems absurd to me that this caused an outrage. The album was consequently sold in paper bags! I mean how can people be outraged by their own human nature?

I love John!

    I don't have any problem with nudity at all. That cover is a bit overly hairy though. Besides, have you ever listened to it? THAT is offensive. It's fucking appalling. I'm all for avant-garde music and consider Noise a viable genre. I listen to 80s period Boredoms and Merzbow. Lennon was a pop musician though, not an avant-garde musician.

    :D

    I can't remember anything to this very day except the look . . . the look . . . you know where.

    Now I can't see.

    I just stare.

    Every time i look at it, all i can think is "wow, Yoko Ono had a hideous body even in her 20s. Why the hell was a millionaire musician with THAT?"

    But where did that love come from?

    have you heard her speak? she is annoying too.

    so she's ugly, has a horrible body, and talks really annoying.

    i think john lennon may have been a tad pretentious and may have only been with her because she was an artist.

    Because i see no other redeeming qualities.

    Have you heard her sing???? :eek:
    he loved her....but they separated in the mid 70's before Sean was born and he lived with another gal for about 11 months or so....so maybe he wasn't in love after all! Who knows.... but seriously John was a bit weird himself!!

    but he got back together with her. why do that if you dont love someone? obviously the connection was there. whatever that connection was, who are we to judge it?

    i think he was very much in love with her when they first met.....

    i think he was attracted to what made her different, this is all just guesses of course, ive read a few books on him and yeah he had his problems too and wasnt a particularly nice guy at times, but, man what a musician and what a legacy.....

    Yoko Ono should have changed her name to Ugg Li
