On April 23rd, Sean Ono Linnon just jumped in to defend a classic photo of his dad, John Linnon, and Yoko Ono during their famous bed and protest back in. March 1969, at the Amsterdam Hilton, folks online called it ironic, seeing a maid making their bed while they rallied against the Vietnam War. But Sean shut that down quick, saying, there's zero irony in letting the maid do her job. They weren't protesting hotel service. He broke it down real simple in his tweets from April 22nd, explaining that real irony would be something wild like protesting war from. Inside a tank, protesting from a honeymoon suite, that's just absurd or funny, not ironic, he said, and compared it to nitpicking protesters for wearing jeans or using markers on signs. The spark was a tweet pointing out the irony, and Sean called those, gotcha takes boring, like the fake irony in that old Alanis Moore said song about. Rain on your wedding day, he stressed a lot of people mix of irony with just bad luck or everyday life.

Lately, Sean's been deep in his parents' legacy, producing a remastered Beatles anthology that added a ninth episode, overseeing the mind games. Reissue box set from their tough times, and getting the power to the people concert film from Madison Square Garden in August 1972. Ready for theaters worldwide. All this reminds us of the real bond between John and Yoko. Sean says his dad was head over heels in love with her, keeping their story alive through. The music and memories. I'm Cory with the story. That's your music news today update, AI powered and always on.
