attitude artist differences
What surprises me is-even though discrimination against women and racial discrimination still exist, they have improved a lot, especially among artists.

(When) I read about the battle of the widows, I thought 'I'm not John's widow, Yoko is John's widow,
happy john means week
This week has been hard. Depressing. Now I'm smiling. I'm here. I see all your faces. John would have been so happy that you acknowledged his achievements. This means so much to us. It would have made him happy that you acknowledged our partnership.
