Yoko takes a swipe at Paul? Hardly

A quote taken out of context was circulated by the media around the world to provide another so-called episode between Yoko and Paul.

As the story goes, John was very disturbed by the fact that more people covered Paul's songs than his and asked Yoko why.

Her answer to him, as quoted by This Is London, was "'I used to tell him, "It's because you are a talented songwriter. You don't just rhyme June with spoon. And you are a very good singer - lots of people would be too afraid to cover one of your songs.' 'Then I would make him a cup of tea, and he would be okay. I just miss that sort of moment that we had.' "
If you take the words literally without bringing Paul into the interpretation, it's an innocent statement. And that's how we see it.

A similar explanation was put forth by Franz Ferdinand leader Alex Kapranos, quoted on Contact Music. His comments: "The 'June-spoon-moon' stuff is irrelevant. It was Ono telling the husband she adored that it didn't matter if people didn't want to cover his songs as much as McCartney's, as his work had such phenomenal worth. The irony is that, while Yoko was whispering soothingly in John's troubled ear, (McCartney's late wife) Linda was probably whispering into Paul's, telling him that it didn't matter that some of those critics considered Lennon's work to have a greater artistic merit. The idea that these supposedly inflammatory comments are reigniting some form of Lennon-McCartney rivalry is perverse. It is rooted in the mistaken presumption that any rivalry between the two appeared when Ono came on the scene. It was always there. It's what they thrived upon - simple competition, trying to outdo each other with better songs."

It's troubling that the media took off with this and ran with it without so much as even asking Yoko about it.

No wonder some celebrities despise the press.
