There’s nothing that we like more here at hecklerspray than watching a couple of knackered old pensioners bicker for 40 years over the body of a dead Scouser.
Thank God, then, for Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono.
Ever since Yoko ambiguously insulted Paul at the Q Awards last week, it’s been a veritable verbal cockfight between the pair of them.
It’s no secret that Paul McCartney (CDs) and Yoko Ono don’t really get along.
And their feud was recently revived when Yoko attended the Q Awards on
behalf of John Lennon. Accepting the award, she said:
“John was very human. In the middle of the night he would say, ‘They
always cover Paul’s songs, they never cover mine’. I said to him,
‘You’re a good song writer, it’s not June-with-spoon that you write.
You’re a good singer too. Most musicians would be a bit nervous about
covering your songs’.â€
Paul McCartney, acting as the elder statesman of rock, chose to keep a
dignified silence in response to Ono’s insult. Yeah, right. In fact,
he’s replied with an even more concrete dig:
"I don’t take any notice of her. She’s John’s wife so I have to respect
her for that, but I don’t think she’s the brightest of buttons. She’s
said some particularly daft things in her time. Her life is dedicated
to putting me down but I attempt very strongly not to put her down."
Notice that Paul’s method of not taking any notice of Yoko involves
getting really quite shitty with her. He’s even gone to the trouble of performing the song
Too Many People from his Ram album in concert for the first time this
week. Lyrically, the theme of Too Many People is roughly like this "Ner ner
ner-ner ner! John Lennon is a great big twat and his tiny wife is too!
My trainers are ace and your trainers are shit, you fanny!"
Who do you think would win in a fight between Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney? Not an
argument or a verbal fight – we mean an actual fight. With no more than one non-projectile weapon. Leave your

Paul was the faithful husband and father who never put his music ahead of his family. Paul was the one who came up with idea for Sgt Peppers. When John split from Yoko he actually made up with Paul and even recorded some songs with him. No question this is all about jealousy. Sure, Paul did a lot of cheesy stuff, but John wrote and released some horrible stuff as well. Neither are perfect musically. No one is.
Lennon was obviously a better songwriter. All the historians are right about that.
all the comments here make you sound like a right bunch of weirdos. bitch, witch, vile and heartless have all come up numerous times. you’d think she shat in your breakfast or something.

thank you alyssa , yoko ono ??????????? of course that PAUL ,PAUL PAUL !!!!!!!more than it ugly idiot and horrible hag with her shit avan-garde idea, her horrible voice ,she never not have talent thats is the true!!!!!!
I really get tired of all the Paul McCartney bashing that goes on.
Yoko Ono was not and is not a member of The Beatles.She is a talentless hack that got her hooks into John and helped poison him against Paul and the rest.
Ono was very domineering and tried to control every aspect of Johns life,including breaking the bands cardinal rule that wives or girlfriends never be allowed in the recording studio.
After she appeared on the scene things quickly went downhill and the breakup became inevitable.
George Harrison has also gone on record as stating that Yoko had an unnatural hold over John and that once when he went to visit John,there was a desperately unhappy look on his face as thought there was something he really needed to say,but he couldn’t because Yoko wouldn’t leave the room.
George stated he felt very bad vibes there and never went back.
I feel Ono is very jealous of Paul because he was actually an important part of Johns life.
The combination of Lennon & McCartney created some of the most important music ever made,John was nowhere near as successful on his own as Paul was.
