What would you ask Yoko?

I'm interviewing Yoko Ono tomorrow about John Lennon's artwork.

I'm looking for question suggestions.

Thanks!

What about her artwork?

She was a crazy abstract artist, like John, and did that help them connect, in a crazy abstract way?

Was Lennon dreaming when he came up with a lot of his art? ...it looks like something one would conjure up during a long dream after falling asleep on the couch.

I'm with Roger, what about her artwork?

I guess my only other question would be with regards to whether or not they ever created art together or his artwork inspired her (and vice versa)?

Enjoy the interview! Sounds cool!

What connection does Yoko see between John's songs and his visual art?

Who had the most influence on John's art?

Does she see a unifying theme among all of his works?

Thanks guys.

Roger & Sarah: Yoko touched on her art at the end of the interview, as I asked her if she ever tires of promoting John's stuff.

Rog: When I asked her if she and John's artwork helped them connect, she took the answer in an entirely different direction.

And Sal: I asked her all three of your questions! Thanks!

I received several e-mails from friends and family suggesting I ask Yoko things that I'm certain would cause the woman to hang up on me (ahem, Mom, Rick, Gabriel.)

I'll most likely post the interview here, since the newspapers I pitched it to are either over budget or uninterested. I'd rather make zilch off it, edit it as I like and have you people read it and respond.

I don't think Yoko would mind.

Oh and Michelle, whom I sat next to yesterday morning at Tires Plus in St. Pete, that question about getting tired of promoting Lennon's work, was for you!

Thank you for your 8 a.m. waiting room input.

That is so cool (I'm a little late reading this). Can't wait to hear how it went!

Thanks to Joe, I might have a taker. If so, I'll post a link.

I'm almost a crazy blog-stalker at this point, but I looked up Jason Segel last night to see who you were talking about.

At first, I thought you were insane, but then on my drive home I wound up stuck in traffic next to this big-ass billboard for "I love you, man," and...

I can kind of see the resemblance =)
