The 7 Dumbest Things About Yoko Ono Suing Lennon Murphy

By now you may have heard that Yoko Ono, widow of Beatles legend John Lennon, is suing singer Lennon Murphy basically for being named Lennon. Not surprisingly, Lennon - Murphy, not John - ain't happy.

Here are the 7 dumbest things about Yoko Ono suing Lennon Murphy:

1. John Is Dead. John Lennon died 27 years ago. And Yoko Ono waited this long to sue another Lennon?

2. Yoko Who? There's plenty of famous Yokos that Ono could sue for possessing her own name.

3. I, Rearrangement Servant. While Yoko's at it, she should consider suing Lennon Murphy for having a name with lots of anagrams that could potentially paint John Lennon in a negative light - Hen Nylon Rump and Hemp Nylon Urn, to name a few.

4. Um ... Hello ... Murphy has been a professional singer for ages. She signed with Arista Records in 2000. By 2003, she had an official trademark. Where was Yoko? In a bunker somewhere?

5. Ah, The Irony. This lawsuit is sure to boost sales of John Lennon and Yoko Ono music, even if it fizzles immediately. Dad gummit, this blog post probably just netted another Ono sale. And sales for Murphy, too. Meanwhile, enough people are killed in the Congo every month to sell out a huge stadium for a rock concert.

6. The Baker, Not The Beatle! Murphy says on her MySpace blog, "My mother named me after 'John Lennon that wrote songs, painted, and baked bread with his son.' She named me for the man, not the pop star." How does Ono suing Murphy honor John's name?

7. Cha-Ching ... Does Ono really need the money? The publicity? The ... the ... the closure?

What do you think this lawsuit says about the current state of the music industry and the world?

What famous people do YOU share names with that you could sue?

Interesting. Yoko Ono seems a bit overly possessive of a name she long ago chose NOT to take as her own.
This list pretty much sums it up!!! I've never "liked" Yoko Ono, and I guess this gives me one more reason to add to my list. Perhaps it should be a 7 Reasons I Don't Care For Yoko Ono list. Reason #1: she keeps forgetting she already got her 15 minutes of fame.
