Yoko was good with money. She once sold a cow for $250,000.00.

You don't hear her squawking about being broke.

She squawks on her recordings and calls it art.

And sells it.

I think Yoko can sing better than Paul's wife.

Linda was a better tambourine player than Stevie Nicks. 

Who is always #1 on the Greatest Tambourine Player Ever?

But Stevie could sing a little, not as good as Christine though.

Who's the greatest? Tracy Partridge? 😄

Haha...I never knew they were ranked, Stevie was #1.

No one played the tambourine in outfits like hers. Then on stage she would give Lindsey a big, I hate your guts look, even though you told Mick Fleetwood that it was both of us joining or none of us, and that jump started her career. Cause Mick only wanted Lindsey.

it's on my list,  right after I get my remote fly swatter.


Dude,

This is what we use around here.
And it's great.

Makes killing flies (and black widow/brown recluse spiders) a fun sport the whole family can enjoy.

If she runs low on cash, she just sells a cow...

She could spend 50 million a year and that would last another 14 years. She's 90 so . . . if she makes it that long she will be 104.

If you or any one out there can't live off of 50 mil, then you got real money problems.

Frank was definitely a gear head. Pretty much everything listed is either an absolute classic or something that would have been extremely high end when it was originally purchased

 

if you know anything about studio gear you are looking at some serious $$$ right here even without the Zappa affiliation

His stereo gear wasn't so hot but in an old interview he did say it wasn't The Playboy Deluxe System.  

I've been unable to find that article, it was in either Rolling Stone or Playboy, where they featured the various rock stars and their stereo gear.  Some of them had really nice systems but most of them were like Frank's, it was okay but nothing wonderful.  Grace Slick said she didn't care as they mastered everything to sound good on AM on a car radio.

what a bunch of sexist fools putting down people youve never met "cause I read it somewhere..."

I've heard her music. Didn't much care for it.

I go to early Napalm Death for screaming.

 

Edit: How's that for a useless post.

Ever try listening to Live Peace In Toronto side 2 ? When John says "And Now Yoko Is Gonna Do Her Thing All Over You" he was not kidding. One album side of Yoko screeching like a cat is having small pieces cut off its body by a rusty Bowie knife.  One listen was 5 times too many.
