Follow instructions: "Use your blood to paint. Keep painting until you faint, (a) Keep painting until you die. (b) Kill all the men you have slept with. Put the bones in a box and send it out into the sea with flowers." And don't ask why. Yoko One's soon-to-be-published "book of instructions," entitled Grapefruit, carries a little poetry and a lot of put-on. Critics and admirers alike are enjoined to "Burn this book after you've read it." "This," claims Pre-Reviewer John Lennon on the dust jacket, "is the greatest...
John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono were among the most densely forested. This month a hairdresser was secretly called in to shear them.

By then, the producers were getting a little nervous too, and the offer was withdrawn. No matter...
...London, because the finished records of a new John Lennon-Yoko Ono LP album were not ready in time, review copies were sent out in the form of two test pressings, each with a recorded side and a blank side. Most reviewers recognized the dubs for what they were. But Richard Williams, critic for the pop weekly Melody Maker, was caught with his avant-garde down. After listening earnestly to each of the four sides, Williams solemnly reported that sides two and four consisted entirely of single tones, "presumably produced electronically."
