No, but I would imagine that it is comparable to her historical body of
work, and charitably assume that she hasn't contrived a new level of
dreadful.
As it happens, I feel sympathy for her. She hadn't aspired to be a singer,
and was making quite a name for herself in the art world before ever
meeting John Lennon. It was only after their romantic involvement began
that suddenly she found herself facing a microphone and a backup band. Some
might wonder about children of famous singers as well, to what extent is
singing before an audience more a family obligation than a personal goal...
If it sounds like I think about this a lot, well honestly... No. I really
don't. But since things are getting quiet around here, I thought that I
might respond.
Meanwhile, I've been having fun with my calorie counter app. It yelled at
me today for skipping lunch, warned me about my nutritional needs being
neglected that way. So now my belly is growling at me for having a lavish
dessert. No more skipping meals for me, more trouble than it's worth...
People are bugging me to start a blog, but I think I should look towards
writing some ebooks, maybe start with one of those 99 cent ebooks that are
proving to be popular on Amazon. I like writing with humor, but dislike
burdening myself with interviewing subjects and tons of "original
research." Any suggestions would be welcome...

Call it fiction then. It can always be "inspired by a true story", or
"ripped from the headlines" as they said on Law and Order. Suppose there
are these three brothers who have a musical act, but sometimes they get
sick of working with each other, and then... well anything could happen.
As I get older I dig Yoko Ono's conceptual art more and more. I want to
find a white ladder in a white room where, if I climb to the top, I can see
a small white card on the ceiling with the word "yes". That would make me
smile. I can imagine clouds dripping without standing in the rain. It's a
good kind of crazy.
