it’s an alright jam… let’s hope the rest of the album is that exciting… let’s also hope for some of that old fashioned weirdness too (which the jam lacks)
beware! her twitter page is not very “wise” now… just a bunch of advertising for the new album.

this is pretty excellent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7tfQ3CE7Jw
Yoko Ono’s work is the most beautiful expression of pure, abandon creativity. She never fails to respectively step aside and allow her Divine creative spirit to fly free!

¡ ¡¡ ¡¡¡ Te quiero mucho, en español.

This is awesome. simple -dk

This is the best thing I’ve heard from her in years. She sure ain’t slowing down at 76!!
And Sean is rocking the guitar on this track – love it!
u are are all hearing impaired. This is absolute shit. “WAITING FOR D TRAIN” are the only lines to the song. The rest is her screaming like she’s having an exorcism.
Paco my friend..nobody else could have said it better … What you hear during the entire bit is “waitee fo da dee tray!!” followed by sounds that resemble a wild turkey about to get axed.
However, to her credit, as someone else mentioned, she’s up and active at 76. Perhaps though, she should find other pursuits?
