Protest rock. It can really change…nothing. But at least it is a document of a moment in time when people gathered together to fight against…
Oh, who’m I kidding?
If you aren’t going to use the proceeds to fight against some kind of inhumanity ala Live Aid, you are just yelling about something you don’t like.
Yoko Ono makes bad music. This is bad music about needing “peace” instead of a Star Wars Missile Defense System.
Here’s the deal: The musicians are all exceptional. So, no matter what, that part is eminently listenable. What drags this down is Yoko. Her lyrics are cloying, her voice is grating. That story is as old as her involvement in music.
