A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

I (a Gen Xer, for all these marketing-borne terms fucking mean) take a person's reaction to Ono as a litmus test. If it's based in racism, misogyny, or that gross, usually male strain of chauvinistic Beatles nostalgia, I keep them at a certain distance.

And her art is not for the masses. (I don’t really like her art, or her music. I don’t hate her, either.) She married Lennon, and the masses became aware of her. And, yes, the culture of rock music was extremely misogynistic. (Still is, but much less so.)

Doorways are good to have a god watching over them! For one thing, doorways make you forget things.
