Finally
Yoko gets credit for co-authoring Lennon's song.

Quote:
 
NMPA CEO David Israelite showed a video from 1980 wherein John said that Yoko deserved a songwriting credit for “Imagine” because of her influence and inspiration on it — and Israelite announced that in accordance with Lennon’s wish, Yoko will be added to the song as a co-writer.

Cornered by Variety after the event, Israelite confirmed that the process to add Yoko’s credit, while not yet confirmed, is already under way. He noted that there may be some opposition to the move at some point along the way — a song enters the public domain 70 years after the death of its last creator, and adding Yoko, now 84, will significantly extending the number of years that the song will generate income for its writers. But he said that the NMPA and Downtown Music Publishing, which administers both Ono’s and Lennon’s solo compositions, are hopeful that it will be confirmed. Justin Kalifowitz, CEO of Downtown, had not responded to Variety’s request for comment as this article published.

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

This is after she complained vociferously about Paul McCartney changing the credits for some of the songs he actually wrote by himself to 'Paul McCartney and John Lennon' rather than 'Lennon and McCartney'.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
