This is my first POX and I'm already cheating with that Fly entry; I could easily fill up more than half a Yoko POX with pieces from that album, but I want to reserve space for some of her other marvelous work across the decades. I love Fly so much.
This may sound pompous, corny, or even like a benign flipside to that which is "trenchant" in the ILX sense, but I could also simply include Yoko's life here -- life as a rich performance in the broadest sense, and also as sustained resilience, resistance, and generosity in the face of remarkable amounts of public abuse. Yoko has inspired and fueled a desire for transformation in so many people I admire.

I haven't moved past Fly, and I don't know why. I love everything on it, and everything on POB, and everything on Life With The Lions. I heard her Double Fantasy songs last week for the first time since, hm, 1980 (I didn't like them at the time, but I was eight and I wanted more Beately Beatle sounds, like "Watching the Wheels") and loved them. So I have some listening to do.

I have access to a load of postcards of her Voice Piece for Soprano for Simone Morris.Loads were printed for the Tulca Festival but they don't seem to have been labeled very well. So while they're free to take I don't think people are.

1. The time I greeted her in an office-building lobby and brought her up in an elevator to a recording booth.
