<\/p>\nAbout time credit is given where credit is due! Yoko Ono is finally receiving the credit she deserves. The iconic multidisciplinary artist was officially credited as a co-writer of the 1971 song \u201cImagine,\u201d currently attributed to Ono\u2019s deceased husband, John Lennon. The news was announced Wednesday at a meeting of the National Music Publishers Association by its CEO, David Israelite. He also bestowed \u201cImagine\u201d with the Centennial Song award. \u201cWhile things may have been different in 1971, today I am glad to say things have changed,\u201d Israelite said. \u201cSo tonight, it is my distinct honor to correct the record some 48 years later and recognize Yoko Ono as a co-writer of the NMPA centennial song \u2018Imagine,\u2019 and to present Yoko Ono with this well-deserved credit.\u201d Yoko and John\u2019s son Sean Lennon wrote on Instagram:<\/p>\n

\u201cProudest day of my life: The National Music Publishers Association just gave the centennial (song of the century) award to Imagine, but WAIT! Surprise! They played an audio interview of my father saying (approximately) ‘Imagine should’ve been credited as a Lennon\/Ono song, if it had been anyone other than my wife I would’ve given them credit.’ Cut to: my mother welling up in tears, and then Patti and Jesse Smith. Imagine! Patience is a virtue! \u270c\ufe0f\u2764\u270c\ufe0f\u2764\u270c\ufe0f\u2764\u270c\ufe0f (PS they officially declared Imagine to be a Lennon\/Ono song and gave my mother a second award! ?)<\/p>\n
He then played an archival interview in which Lennon explains that the song would not exist without Ono. \u201cImagine\u201d should be credited as a Lennon-Ono song,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause a lot of it, the lyric and the concept came from Yoko. But those days I was a bit more selfish, a bit more macho, and I sort of omitted to mention her contribution. But it was right out of \u2018Grapefruit\u2019, her book. There\u2019s a whole pile of pieces about \u2018imagine this\u2019 and \u2018imagine that.\u2019\u201d Seven years before \u201cImagine,\u201d Ono self-published \u2018Grapefruit\u2019, a little gem of a book that is unruly and quiet at once, filled with strange wishes and demands. \u201cImagine your body spreading rapidly all over the world like thin tissue,\u201d one line reads. \u201cImagine cutting out one part of the tissue.\u201d Sean Lennon accompanied his mother Ono, who uses a wheelchair onstage to accept the Centennial Song award. According to Lennon, the artist welled up with tears upon hearing the announcement. Onstage, Ono said her waning health has heightened her appreciation of the song and imbued her with a magnified esteem for being alive. \u201cThis is the best time of my life,\u201d she said, to applause. Congratulations, Yoko. It\u2019s about time.<\/p>\n
Yoko Was Given A Lot Of Hell When John Went Solo From The Beatles But The End Game Is Fabulous! <\/b><\/p>\nSusan Z\u2019s Conclusion:<\/h2>\n
Yoko is an amazing artist in many arenas. Her offbeat approach to performance art is what attracted John to her in the first place. It is not surprising though John did not give her credit at the time as he was known to be pretty self-absorbed, selfish and childish at times.<\/p>\n
Six of Swords:<\/b> Inverted (Upside Down)
\nThis is a card of spiritual awakening and enlightenment. I am not surprised it was drawn as I was thinking while writing this article that maybe John made this right for her? The card being inverted would support an awakening from a source outside of oneself. Good going John for finally helping to make it right!<\/p>\n
Three of Cups: <\/b> Inverted
\nThis card is joy and celebration. It is obvious that Yoko and Sean are very happy about the recognition but I sense that both of them still feel the loss of his presence and the senselessness of his murder even after all these years<\/p>\n
Strength:<\/b>
\nThis card is fairly self-explanatory. I believe it shows Yoko\u2019s strength of character during the hard times and through the loss of her husband and partner.<\/p>\n
