No, no. Richman never said he wasn’t actually an asshole, only that he “never got called an asshole.
Not like you.” 
As for the OP - nobody I’ve ever met. My own pain threshold for the early '70s stuff is about 30 seconds. Barenaked Ladies captured the essence of her work in a two-second snippet of parody in “Be My Yoko Ono” (“Oh no, here we go as yoko sings…gabblegollagillogal…”)
Dingdingdingdingding… we have a winner! Someone finally gave the correct answer!

silenus, your comment is out of order. In this forum, you may insult the artist/entertainer all you want, but you may NOT insult other posters. Insults directed at an audience are usually thinly-disguised insults directed at other posters.*
You’ve been around long enough to know better. Y’all will cool it. There’s lots of different tastes when it comes to music, and there’s no “right” or “wrong” tastes. Other people are entitled to their opinion, even if it’s different from yours, without being insulted… just as you are entitled to your taste, howevermuch a minority you may be, without being insulted for it.
We all clear on this? If not, see Forum Rules: PLEASE READ and note post #3.
*[sub] Note: for nitpickers, there can obviously be exceptions: for instance, if a specific audience threw tomatoes at a specific performer. But insulting “anyone who listens to” or “anyone who likes” is insulting other posters.[/sub]
I like about as many Yoko songs as I do John songs.
Why does Bai Ling remind me so much of Yoko Ono??
Understood. Will comply.
People are more dismissive, also, of women with no talent.
Especially if they are no-talent women that have broken up the Beatles.
I just read in a magazine that the only reason David Geffen managed to sign Lennon and Ono while they were making Double Fantasy was because he was the only record exec who managed to keep a straight face when the couple demanded that they’d both have the same number of their own songs on the album. In fact, Geffen was rather shrewd. He managed to say, without laughing, that he felt lucky that he was able to sign two great artists for the price of one! Yoko lit up like a lightbulb, ran Geffen’s astrological sign and special numbers and whatnot through her insane numerology (?) calculations and proudly pronounced him as “the one.”
Of course, even Geffen was figuring that Lennon’s songs would be on one side and Yoko’s on the other. No problem. But she was having none of that. She threw a tantrum and whined that if they did it that way nobody would turn the album over and listen to crap …I mean, songs! She demanded the songs go in alternating order for the entire album.
So basically even Yoko knew her songs sucked.
Uh oh. Someone likes Yoko Ono. 
heh heh.
As for her music, to be honest, I’ve never really heard any. Bits and pieces here and there which didn’t inspire me to seek out her records.
I will say Yoko’s song “Ask the Dragon” covered by Ana Voog on the album anavoog.com is my least favourite on that album. I hope Yoko didn’t spend more than 2-3 minutes jotting down the lyrics to that track.
Anybody who can in their lifetime produce one track as bitchin as “Kiss Kiss Kiss” has justified their musical existence.
See, I’d say the same thing about “Walking on Thin Ice.” If I had to make a Desert Island Mix Disc, that song would very definitely be in the running.
Actually, Ono does have a die-hard supporter in Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, who does his best to suck up to certain celebrities. After she gave a rare live concert performance, he himself wrote the laudatory review. I’m guessing, in all seriousness, he couldn’t find anyone else to give her the accolades he thought she deserved.
