Ono Rules Out Lennon 'Duet'

John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has ruled out using modern technology to perform a beyond-the-grave "duet" with the late Beatles legend.

Janet Jackson wowed the audience at the MTV Video Music Awards last September (09) by using a screen projection of her late brother Michael to sing a song with him.

But Ono has dismissed suggestions she could do the same with a Lennon track - insisting it would sully his legend.

In an interview with the Indie Rock Cafe website, she says, "I respect too much John's music to do something like that."

For once Yoko is showing good sense and taste. After exploiting John through car commercials, etc., it appears she's beginning to get it. While most of us respect John's feelings for her, most of us don't want to see videos of him with her or anyone else for that matter (and certainly not of him selling cars or any other item/thing) -- it's not personal. It's all about him and his talent and no one else. I hope good judgement continues to be the rule and not the exception for Yoko.
