I read that before Yoko met John, one of her "art" pieces was to get
up on stage and bang her head into the stage floor.>

I read that you're bitter and twisted. You can't believe everything
you
read, can you?

<You're the Yoko expert. Are you saying it's not true?>

I've never heard of anything described like that. When? Where? Was it
part
of a larger event? Was it the point of the piece or something
incidental?
(You could say "John used to go onstage and play a G chord," which would
sound sillier than "John used to go onstage and play songs that involved
playing a G chord") If you know the name of the piece, I could probably
look
it up.

Incidently, I think you mean to say she'd bang her head on the stage
floor.
Banging her head into the stage floor would mean she has tremendous
powers
far beyond those of ordinary mortals. You often seem to believe that,
though.

<Here's a link. Yoko's head banging was called Wall Piece for
Orchestra. This "work of art" occurred in 1962.

First, the link isn't opening.
Second, Yoko wrote the piece, George Maciunas performed it. I think it
works
better as a two line (including title) poem than it does as a performance
piece, but I'm probably no more qualified to critique this than you are.
Well, maybe a bit more qualified.
Third, why would you think something called "Wall Piece" involved a person
banging his or her head against the FLOOR.
Fourth, if you miss the point, that's not the fault of Yoko or Maciunas.

<I've always enjoyed the fact that Yoko would go around telling people
that she was a very famous artist before she met John and imply or
even state that meeting John was terrible for her career. I thinks
that's insulting to John.>

You thinks that? Well, Popeye, that's hardly a surprise given your history
of taking quotes out of context and twisting them to say what you want.-

I just tried it and the link opened fine for me.

<I don;t have a history of taking quotes out of context.>

Yes, you do.

< If you are a
fan of Yoko and have read up on her, you would know that her bragging
is a documented fact. She even a few months ago in an interview that
meeting John might have been bad for her career.>

This is how you take quotes out of context. Yoko says, "Marrying John might
have lost me respect as a serious artist, BUT it was better for me. Who
wants to be a serious artist anyway," and you start a thread about how Yoko
said "Marrying John lost me respect as a serious artist."

Since you're been corrected over and over again but continue doing it, I can
only conclude you're either deliberately being dishonest or you're obsessed
to such a point that you're incapable of seeing reality.
