Welcome back to Yoko Ono: 21st Century Icon Part Two - The Conclusion!   As promised 7 days ago in the waning minutes of last week's podcast, we pick up where we left off in the Continuing Story of Yoko Ono: 21st Century Icon, artist, performer, thinker, changer of the world!   Much of this episode covers Yoko Ono's 5 years in London between 1966 and 1971 including her invitation to appear at the Destruction In Art Symposium in London in September 1966 and her return engagement at the behest of Paul McCartney's beloved hippie bookstore turned art space Indica Gallery.   In this episode we retrace Yoko Ono's steps towards Beatle John Lennon and the torrid affair that ensued during the making of Sgt. Pepper and the aptly named Summer Of Love that followed its release in 1967.   Experience the shocking and untimely death of Beatle manager Brian Epstein at the age of 32 while The Beatles were just two days into a 10 day spiritual retreat with the Maharishi in Bangor, Wales at the suggestion of Pattie Boyd, George Harrison's wife at the time.   Follow John, Paul, George & Ringo in the early days of 1968 as they bunk down with the Maharishi in Rishikesh, India for two months of mantras, meditation and fun in the sun!   Come join the Sunshine Superman himself, Donovan, along with four Beatles, two Beach Boys and a Mia Farrow...   All this and MORE in the concluding episode of Yoko Ono: 21st Century Icon, brought to you by the good folks at team Rock N Roll Fashionistas, contextualizing rock n roll since Woodstock 2024....   OPENING TRACK: https://music.apple.com/ca/album/approximately-infinite-universe-feat-blow-up/1629494535?i=1629495274 "Approximately Infinite Universe (featuring Blow Up)" from Yoko Ono's 2016 Yes, I'm A Witch Too collaboration/re-mix album.
