Music
Yoko Ono is a songwriter, a singer, a visual and performance artist, an activist, a feminist, a mother and a widow. She may also be one of the most misunderstood and maligned musicians of the twentieth century.
This provocative artist has lead an extraordinary life— she was born in Tokyo before moving to New York in 1952, immersing herself in the burgeoning avant-garde art and music scenes long before she ever met John Lennon.
This year marks Yoko Ono's 90th birthday and The J Files is celebrating the musician and the muse through iconic tracks with John Lennon like Give Peace A Chance, Happy Xmas (War Is Over) and Imagine, as well as her immense and varied solo output with songs like Walking On Thin Ice, Waiting For The Sunrise, Nobody Loves Me Like You Do and Kiss Kiss Kiss.
Fans of her music exist across the musical spectrum and this episode features perspectives from Ben Lee, Peaches, Harry Nilsson, Death Cab For Cutie’s Ben Gibbard, The Go-Betweens’ Lindy Morrison, Rebecca Barnard, Carla Lippis and more.
