dar williams denies the link between this song and the one by the barenaked ladies. so it's just a
fishy coincidence, i suppose.
dar went to
wesleyan college, where apparently yoko ono was more well-known and admired than
john lennon. as she puts it, "...
ethnomusicology,
performance art, and
experimental music set the
vibe for the campus....
Double Fantasy was called, by some, a '
Yoko Ono album with
special guests.'" the song is sort of a retaliation to those who view her as a
no-talent, controlling
banshee who almost ruined john lennon's career.
