Stupid headline.

Lennon was okay when he was in The Monkees but then he got all pretentious and self-important.

It didn't help when Stalin turned on both him and Trotsky.

Don't blame it on Yokey! (Thank you Bare Naked Ladies)

In all fairness, I think she has to defend use of the name or she sets a precedence of allowing it.

/but hey, IANAL.

Yoko Ono filed what is for the most part a law suit with the Trademark and Trial Board of the US Patent & Trademark office this past week. You can read the filing yourself by clicking on the link below. Yoko waited 8 years until 2 days before the statue of limitations ran out to file this complaint. 5 lawyers including 2 trademark experts we have spoken with agree that Yoko has no grounds for these claims and is just trying to push Lennon around and make her spend money she doesn't have. Yoko seeks to gain the rights to the Trademark "LENNON" which Lennon Murphy has owned since 2003. This lady is a scum bag and so is her lawyer Peter Shukat who first became aware of Lennon in 2000 when approached by Arista records for consent by Yoko and the John Lennon estate to release Lennon's debut 5:30 Saturday Morning CD under the name "LENNON." They made no objections at that time, nor did they for the next 8 years. Now everything Lennon has worked for is on the line, if Yoko prevails, Lennon might never be able to tour or release records using the name Lennon.

Donno if that makes a difference in the case or not.

That's funny, I just watched the 1988 doc 'Imagine: John Lennon' tonight.

Imagine. If she has to go back to Lennon Murphy, it'll be just like starting over.

Why the FARK is a myspace page getting the green?

Someone representing The Lennon Sisters should sue Yoko. They were there first (debuting in 1955) back when John Lennon was still in grammar school and they were on TV already two years before JL bought his first guitar.

Actually, having met Lennon when she lived in Nashville, she's a really cool person. Just a few days after her 18th birthday, her mother died of an allergic reaction to medication, leaving her and her younger sister orphans. Lennon fought and won custody of her sister and has been a mother and a rock performer since then. Look her up Wikipedia, interesting bio.
