    Countless people hate Yoko Ono, because they believe she's responsible for breaking up the Beatles.

    Barenaked Ladies looked at Yoko Ono and came to a different opinion. Even IF Yoko was responsible for getting John Lennon to leave the Beatles, they're saying... well, isn't it sort of wonderful that John met someone he loved so much he'd be willing to walk away from the Greatest Show on Earth?
