Anderson Cooper Poor-Mouths Yoko
Anderson Cooper's down-home, appealing commencement speech at Yale 10 days ago was marred by a crack he took at Yoko Ono. He brought up a commencement speech she gave 3 years ago, as a non-model.
She said: "I say you can't stand if you've got too much muck in your head. Let it go, and dance through life." So true, so much muck, you know? Muck is a big problem. Of course. it's easier to dance through life if you have a billion dollars, but I digress.
Unfair on two counts. 1, Yoko's advice, to grads of the Maine College of Art, is just fine. People have to try and free themselves. However you do it, do it. When Cooper himself quotes Joseph Campbell, "Follow your bliss," it's not that different from what Yoko's saying.
2, Cooper is descended from megabux. Son of Gloria Vanderbilt, etc. Who's he to make fun of Yoko's money?
My cousin Helen Myers once worked for Gloria Vanderbilt, though she got into an argument with her over employee benefits for the people making the "designer jeans" and got to go "free". Terrible about her other son. A friend folk singer was friends with Mrs. Guthrie who has a small apartment at the Dakota and heard the terrible shots that killed John Lennon, she said. She was later a few blocks from the shootout between the KKK and the American Communists in Greensboro, NC. That's all the muck I got. Yoko's still has quite an art career (Spain, Yokohama, Australia, that I've seen online). I wonder if ex-Pres. Bill Clinton still stops by the Dakota, friends with some of the building association members. He he...
Yoko Ono has bigger balls then Mr. Cooper will ever play with.
Gud night...and Gold bless yazzzz
Well, you know I'd rather play with Mr. Cooper's balls anytime! I don't want nor do I need bigger ones!
