Why John loved her so much

Because she was weird, but profound. Shocking but uplifting.  Laughably out-of-tune, but catchy and kind.   Unlike anyone else. Because the clown is a visionary. Because her work is still strange, optimistic, jarring, relevant and most of all, it's brave. And nobody's brave anymore. They're just thieves of days gone by. Ono's is still a pioneer.  Young at heart when life should have made it old. Because she's a one-of-a kind kook with something to say that we very much need to hear. And that's just some of why John loved her so much.
