When I was fourteen I listened to a lot of Yoko Ono. I love Yoko Ono. And sometimes when I’m listening to a completely normal song with actual lyrics and not a lot of guttural emotional dialogue, I wonder, where the fuck is she? 

Well, she’s back, bitches. Here’s her “cover” of “Fireworks” by “artist” Katy Perry.  To her credit, after all Katy Perry has done, well, frankly there isn’t a lot left to say.
