Happy 93rd Birthday to Yoko Ono, Japanese artist, musician, activist, and filmmaker. Ono grew up in Tokyo and moved to New York City in 1952 to join her family. She became involved with New York City's downtown artists scene in the early 1960s, which included the Fluxus group, and became widely known outside the fine art world in 1969 when she married English musician John Lennon of the Beatles. The couple used their honeymoon as a stage for public protests against the Vietnam War with what they called a bed-in. Together, they had one son, Sean, who later also became a musician. She achieved commercial and critical success in 1980 with the chart-topping album Double Fantasy, a collaboration with Lennon that was released three weeks before his murder, winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Many musicians have paid tribute to Ono as an artist in her own right and as a muse and icon, including Elvis Costello who recorded his version of "Walking on Thin Ice" with the Attractions for the Every Man Has a Woman tribute album to Yoko Ono, the B-52's, Sonic Youth and Meredith Monk. She funded the Strawberry Fields memorial in Manhattan's Central Park, the Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland, and the John Lennon Museum in Saitama, Japan (which closed in 2010). In 2002, she inaugurated a biennial $50,000 LennonOno Grant for Peace. 
93 and her singing sounds as good as it did 50 years ago.

I wonder why all these feminists don't complain about why men don't earn as much money on onlyfans as women. No I don't.
I have a 1 in 1,200 chance of being the father.
