What John Heard

Caught Yoko Ono at Glastonbury and tried to figure out what everyone else was hearing. Her voice sounds like a dying animal—squeaking halloumi getting flattened by a tire, a bagpipe on fire. She was singing Don’t Worry, Kyoko and thousands of people were just standing there. Some of them loved this, apparently. I kept wondering what John Lennon heard in that voice. I couldn’t find it. Just the wrongness.
