Horrible topic.....but I've never found the answer to where John was
buried. Was he cremated?
Is his remains at the Dakota? Does anyone know besides Y.O ?

========
Lennon was cremated at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York, and
his ashes were kept by Yoko Oh No.
|
Variegated Hebe...
|
Yeah...just about everyone knows where his remains are. Everyone, that
is, that knows what a search engine is.

He was cremated and put in an urn. As far as where the urn is now, who
knows.

Lennon was cremated at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York (a
stone's throw from there Linda grew up, no less)
His ashes were kept by Yoko Oh No.

I wouldn't be surprised if The Yoke put it in storage with the rest of
John's things. Maybe one day it will show up on e bay or Sothby's like
John's lyrics, clothes, etc.

She wouldn't sell the whole urn full of ashes, though. She'd auction
off each bit of ash separately to maximize her profits.

That reminds me of an alleged real Beatle incident I had read about . .
. .
The Beatles had been on tour in the US, staying at different hotels.
They had heard that one of the places they had stayed planned to
auction off pieces of carpet which they had stood on. (apparently some
hotels would save Beatle linens, cut the linens into small pieces, and
then sell off the pieces) The Beatles allegedly were so annoyed at
this practice, that one or more of them deliberately peed on the carpet
to prevent the sale.. . . .

But I would think that would only increase the price.
fattuchus...

Nowadays it would! But I guess in those days people were more
"straightlaced."

I heard once that his remains were under her bed.
That Yoko, she always has to be on top. :-)

Knowing Yoko and her "conceptual art", someday - whn she's desperate for
attention - she will put the ashes in a giant tea cup painted with peace
symbols, and ingest them on primetime national TV, and then spend 15 or
so excrutiating minutes (replete with background "music": downloable at
iTunes)) explaining how this symbolizes her total absorption of John's
spirit. Then she will sell miniature copies of the urn through The
Franklin Mint, and star in a daytime show called "Talk to John Through
His Living Vessel." Then another book of "poetry" ("Grapefruit With
Ashes") and a movie showing her eating the ashes in very slow motion.

Didn't Yoko already do a film with nothing but shot after shot of naked
ashes?
fattuchus...
|
LOL. Yes, I remember that movie. I'm surprised she didn't use still
shots from that movie to make a calendar called "365 days of Ass for
Peace."
|
|
fattuchus...
|
ROTFLMO! However, you forgot to mention that she will probably keep
just spoonful of the ashes for later use: in a movie highlighting the
re release of her song Kiss Kiss Kiss. This movie will feature Yoko
making love with the ashes and faking another orgasm.
Dale Houstman...

She could moisten the ashes, mold them into a replica of John, and
recreate the Leibowitz photo using an "ashen John."

Perhaps like South Park's Cartman (who ingested Kenny's ashes), she will
then 'channel' John Lennon...!!! Maybe we will get some NEW music from
John!!!
Dale Houstman...

No: OLD John songs, but with a "rwist of Yoko"...

Very funny. Actually this could be a separate thread. Here's two:

Not it isn't! This thread has already been precisely analyzed and
basically deemed "sick." I'm off to see my parole officer, priest, and
psychiatrist right now. Please - help me...
Actually this could be a separate thread. Here's two:

I'm the Greatest
John Should have Known Better
Dale Houstman...

Don't Let Me Sing
Oh Yoko [she could do that one straight, no chaser]
Money [ditto]
I'm So Tired (Of Being Right)
...and one for the grave humor prudes...
Good Mourning, Good Mourning
fattuchus...
|
ROTFLMAO. That IS funny, in spite of what Tom K thinks. I especially
like Don't Let me Sing.
Oh, here's one, here's one. How about:
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for me and my Money
Dale Houstman...

I couldn't come up with one for that song. Good work!
I Feel Financially Secure
And John's Bird Can't Sing

You're being icky.

Now that is really hitting below the belt. :)
I will interpret that as a momentary truce . . . . . until next time,
peace.

You could write two of your own:
I'm the lowest
I don't know better

Gosh, she will?
What should be do then?

Yeah, but at least mine has some humor in it, no matter what you think
of that. Your reply lacks anything of interest, and certainly seems to
imply that you simply have no sense of humor at all.

...impudent upstart!
Dale Houstman...

That's "Mister Impudent Upstart" to you...
Lookingglass...

...yes Sir!
