Yoko was an artist, not a singer, and Lennon was an idiot to foist her caterwauling on those who would listen for more than 10 seconds. And what is it with ex-Beatles? McCartney did the same thing (anyone who has heard that tape of Linda McCartney's isolated vocal mic knows what I mean).
Having said that, I admire Yoko for not cashing in on John's legacy, or allowing others to do so. She could make a billion dollars this year just by putting out a slew of products with Lennon's mug on them. But you don't see that kind of exploitation where Lennon is concerned, and you have Yoko to thank for that.
Compared to someone like Rita Marley, and those 500 Marley kids, who are happy to stick Bob's name on everything from an expensive beachfront resort to commercials for maxi-pads. Really. That kind of behavior should put Yoko into perspective, and make you realize that she's done a good thing, despite any "singing" you've had to endure over the years.
