My interview with Yoko Ono ran in Tampa's Creative Loafing this week. Check it out here. And thanks to everyone who e-mailed and posted questions. I went over the moon when she talked about the day John Lennon learned she wasn't a virgin.

My favorite nugget of the NY Times is free.
Mark Twain once said...
Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
I concur.
I concur.
Why I created this:
- My boyfriend Joe likes to sleep in late on the weekends
- and I end up browsing celebrity tabloid Web sites
- while our dog snores under the covers.
- And since I'm a reporter who spends her Mondays through Fridays writing other people's stories.
- A chronic procrastinator.
- Who needs structure.
- Who once quit her job to write a book.
- And like most writers, made up excuses why she couldn't keep at it.
- Perhaps the book starts with a blog.
- I see that a lot of people have them.
- Maybe this will do the trick.
- Maybe I'll get The Move On as my dad would say.
- I'm 27 and I'm afraid if I don't start now
- I'll get caught up in something else.
- We all do.
Me.
Joe.
Our dog.

wow - what a great article! That's so cool that you were able to interview her - good job!
Yoko can suck it.
lucky! (say like napoleon dynamite)
I am very jealous you got to meet Yoko!!!! I think John Lennon fared much better without the Beatles anyways, McCartney was always a bit too 'poppy' sounding for my tastes.
By the way, have you read 'Grapefruit'? (A Book of instructions and Drawings by Yoko Ono)
http://www.amazon.com/Grapefruit-Book-Instructions-Drawings-Yoko/dp/0743201108
Really weird....but cool nonetheless!
Great article! Congratulations!
And thanks so much for your note, it totally made my day!
Thanks beloved readers!
Gabriel: Just because you dot your i's with hearts doesn't give you the right to scoff at other people's art.
Meg: Are you talking about a liger?
And D+J: I have not read Grapefruit. I can only image the weird/cool factor.
The virginity part is pretty funny. I'll bet that PLENTY of people can identify with being in that situation...
Great article!
