On Saturday I threw open my window and napped.
	I awoke to the buzz of a fly cyclone hovering above my
checkered floor. There were many and they were mating, I
think. I realized that my bed was a boat to your future
and I was sort-of drifting in a pool. And the flies were
miming, in perfect human form. And so I laughed as hard as
brocoli.

Yoko is BAD singer and BAD artist too. You'd better learn

because  you are the main reason of death of John Lennon.
YOU devorced him with other Beatles and YOU lied him all

I once had a friend, his name was Terry H., we lived in
Downey, CA.  WellTerry loved flies and he would catch them
and sometimes he too would put them on his shirt with a
little bit of superglue and then one day he put one on a
small piece of paper in the shape of a very small airplane
and that fly flew around and around.  Terry stopped
playing with flies when someone placed a fly in his
sandwidge.  POOR TERRY!  POOR FLIES!

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. 
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful
men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewared genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

Dearest "We",

First of all, I would like to thank A.Rieger for his/her
words regarding racism and bigotry. I abhor all forms of
racism,hate,discrimination etc. I am hopeful that those
who view this page will not be offended by my
contributions and recognize the spirit in which they are
intended.    

I am curious as to what it is,exactly,about my "rants"
that smacks of racism. How can you accuse me of being a
racist when you know nothing about my
race,creed,gender,color or what boat I may have just
gotten off of?  By throwing these labels around
haphazardly you are revealing your lack of creativity. It
is apparent that you are an illiterate fop that has to
rely on tired cliches and crude anatomical references. I
must say that mouth/anus bit was brilliant! Top notch
comedy.

As for art school, I managed to do pretty well and
continue to do so. Life is good! Turn off the Depeche
Mode,get some sun and let me know when you can lift your
own weight. Until then, Stay off of my pile.

Have a safe and Joyous Holiday Season!

love,

As a casual observer I think it should be noted that
Mr.Stickwafer, as silly as he may be, has said nothing
that is racist or bigoted.  Misuse of these words is as
offensive,ill-conceived and far more dangerous than
anything Buzz has said.
Just something to think about.

Hey Buzz Schtickwaffler:

I just heard from someone that you're a frustrated artist
who got kicked out of art school because you didn't know
the difference between your anus and your mouth. It's also
apparent to anyone reading this page that you don't have a
life, and are trying to convince yourself that someone
actually cares what you think, by dominating this web page
with your wise cracks, put-downs and sarcastic bafflegab.

Try to contribute rather than detract. You might find out
what art means, and you'll have the beginnings of a life.
You won't have to mock people and hide behind a pseudonym
because you lack vertebrae! But most importantly, we won't
have to read your inane, ill-conceived, feeble-minded,
obtuse, racist, bigoted, sexist, patrician, bileous
diatribes against those of us who think with their brains
rather than their posteriors, and care enough to leave our
thoughts (and REAL names) here for all to see. Take care.

Love, 
Everyone you've trashed here

NPR ran a piece on Morning Edition today about how the
Chinese have annual Kill All Rats, -Mosquitos, and most
importantly, Kill All Flies, "patriotic campaigns."  One
luxury hotel employee broke down in hysterics talking
about how rats and flies were just plain evil.

I can't escape the nagging thought that all this is
related somehow to Yoko and her mad fly campaign.  Is our
sovreignty being compromised in the name of some dubious
art project? Think hard on this, citizens.

I think Ms. Ono should figure out how to do the same thing
for people that she did with the flies; that is, spray us
with a pleasing scent that we could maintain for countless
generations.  We would all smell good (though there are
some control issues involved with deciding what all your
descendants should smell like) and in no time at all we
would overthrow all the fragrance companies.  Imagine, no
more scented magazines.  No more avoiding ninja fragrance
testers at the mall.

colder. Yoko is trying to bring us closer together. Like
the flies in the jar, we all share the same air and the
same destiny. Chaz,try to think before speaking. I like to
believe that the good in someone takes up more space in
the jar than the bad. Peace.

Did the cow sit on your head? What she is saying is If you
have some influence you can slap anything on the wall,
call it art and a large portion of the population will
call you a genius.  If I take a walk on a rainy day and

Dear Abbey,

I can understand that you object to people bashing Yoko
out of personal disrespect and the belief that it is her
star status rather than talent that has enabled her to
maintain such a high profile in the art world, but it's
probably the main reason why I cannot support her work. 
Do you understand it?  I'd like to hear a synopsis of what
you feel she's trying to say.  Convince me, 'cause I don't
buy this.

This is not a repsonse to the show, since I haven't seen
it yet. This is about the web page.  It's very frustrating
for out of towners to find out the simpliest information
like phone numbers and addresses of the museuem from this
web page.

Dear sir, 
I have just learned that your Kienholtz retrospective
exhibition is about to close.
Is this exhibit scheduled somewhere else in the US or
abroad?

I'm back... the personal attacks on Yoko are going way too
far. I can respect someone's opinion on her art, good or
bad, but when they deliberately use her husband and her
money against her... it's just disrespectful. She's been
bashed enough for things she didn't do (you know what I'm
talking about. Actually, not enough, but way too much.
Unfortunately for such people who do this, Yoko can
definately handle it. She is a strong and successful
woman... and so are her flies...

I am really tired and upset by these people who are
constantly trashing Yoko's work. I think you people who
think you know a lot about art and how to define it better
come up with a much better definition quickly. The reason
being that the people who understand and respect and love
Yoko's art are the ones who are growing and developing
their minds and souls while all the rest will be stuck.

I think Yoko is much better in the medium of music.  She
has a unique vocal style and songwriting style(s) that
have been influential especially in the alternative rock
scene.  Her conceptual artwork seems kind of timid by
comparison.  I think she has been criticized and derided
and bashed for too long.  She is a strong person and a
unique artist with integrity and chutzpah.

This is not art. I am an illustrator. I have worked hard
at my craft. I am offended by this load of hoo-ha. This
woman cannot draw flys but her sure can.

Why do people keep defending this pretentious woman? 
She's not a great artist.  She's not important.  Her work
is cute and clever, at best.  It's juvenile adolescent
stuff.  Why do people elevate her to such high status now?
 Because she's been around for a long time and she knew
the right people in the 60's?

A note from the WebMaster:

I'm sorry to report that we've deleted some of the 
Feedback submissions.  We believe in free expression in
a forum like this, but there is a point where some 
remarks go too far.  Here is the criteria for removal:

*  Racist remarks
*  Commercial promotions
*  Multiple submissions
*  Tasteless venom (this was a fine line to walk...)
*  Empty submissions (!)

I guess we should have expected it, but it is odd and 
surprising to see the strange, angry remarks people 
make about Yoko Ono.  Funny how the most hostile 
comments never seem to have a signature. A few points 
should be made:

*  Yoko is not being paid for this work
*  Yoko was a recognized artist before she was involved 
with John Lennon
*  For a little background on Yoko Ono, see:

Yoko is a bore and not worth anyone's time.  All she did
was marry a rock star so she could get his money and his
fame.  She didn't care about anything, except herself. 
She is a horrible example of a human being and a
ridiculous spectacle at the age of 63.  She is making a
big fool of herself because she has no talent and no
ideas.  She ripped off the entire world by destroying the
Beatles and John Lennon and she is the most stupid and
crazy old woman and she is desperate, desperate for
attention.  Does she really need the money ???  Who cares
about her desperate attempts to win people over.   Yoko,
take the world's advice and go away.

Sat Oct 12 16:14:31 US/Pacific 1996
Yoko's "instructions" come from an idea of Marcel
Duchamp's from his notes for the Large Glass.  One of the
instructions he wrote was "Use a Rembrandt as an ironing
board".  She based her whole book of instructions,
"Grapefruit", on this concept.

Yoko Ono will always be a celebrity because she married
John Lennon.  This does not mean that she is an important
artist or has any real talent or has anything to say.  She
is a rich and famous media person who thrives on being
rich and famous.  Her whole persona thrives on
self-promotion and myth making.  All she seems to care
about is getting more money and more fame.  Why do people
care or pay attention to her?  She repeats her unoriginal
ideas over and over again.  She is a bad imitation of Andy
Warhol and other NY artists like George Brecht, George
Macuinas, and Yayoi Kusama.  All she does and continues to
do is copy other peoples art and get richer for it because
she married a rock star who was a genius!  Enough already.

Well, I think that Yoko should get political.  If you are
homeless, hungry, drug addicted, being battered or
oppressed in any other of the many ways that are possible
in the 1990's, in this- the wealthiest nation in the
world- knowing about all the time and energy that was
spent about Yoko's flies is just one more example of late
20th century elitist, timewasting, trivial and stupid ways
to goof off and avoid reality.  Revolution, NOW!

Okay - What was that for? All words are not verbs! Do you
feel that John's a fly? - Is he watching you, as in "a fly
on the wall". I'm not particularily dense - and I have an
open mind - but I prefer art that either makes one feel an
emotion because of it's intensity/beauty, or teaches us
something about ourselves or our society. You have power
by just having tremendous exposure... why not do as John
did and use it to say something... well... relevant!

minimalism first emerge in the '60s ? Been there, done
that..Is this the movement we seem to be stuck in for the
next 20 years ?

Flies sustain themselves by vomiting,sucking and buzzing
around the business end of many large animals. Most flies
will tell you that they cannot pass up a pile of shit with
out stopping off for a quick look-see. Enough said.

So, what is it with these insects anyway? I am not sure

hardly. Anyway, I suppose, what the hell is profound
anyway??

So Yoko - you continue to be interesting and worth
visiting with.

Seems like another case of an ego gone wild. I've seen
much nore interesting art done with the regular household
fly, but it was not based on the artist's bodily volume.
Yoko, I'm sure you are interesting and intelligent. Use
your energy and media attention to do something that can
creatively help people. Looking forward to the next PDA
(Public Display of Art).

Why bother repeating an idea that the artist had over 20
years ago?

It was a fine concept then, but this is 1996.  If Yoko
can't seem to come up with something new and interesting,
perhaps she should refrain from expressing herself as she
is in danger of overexposure as an artist.
