MC sends Yoko Ono birthday greetings; no other woman in the modern age has been as ignorantly and viciously vilified as she. At the risk of alienating our readers, most probably have very little understanding of her life and work. ("Now you'll always be Mrs. Lennon," quipped John upon their marriage; how right he was.)

Yes, we know, MC's readers weren't paying attention but we were so you didn't have to. She was 76 and, as it were, still kicking.
