...and Yoko is quoted as saying as saying that she's "happy that John's music will now be available to a new generation of his fans".
To match "his" jewelry, one supposes...
I guess CDs and old vinyl don't reach a "new generation". Seriously, who writes her hackneyed phrases, or does she take them from a White House briefing book?
This is press conference wallpaper to the nth degree.
Anybody else feeling a "noncaring" Yoko vibe here? I get "cold profiteering" myself.

“I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did.”

What did she do with his remains? Lenin's corpse is lowered into a refridgerated vault in Red Square. Oops, don't want to give any ideas!

I think Yoko may actually have a point here. My son is 16 and most of his friends don't buy CDs very often anymore. They download and they trade and they burn mix CDs. For them, the access to individual downloads may increase their awareness of his music.
The thing I don't like about that approach is that you typically only hear what you expect to hear or have already heard. Some kid may get a digital copy of Imagine but won't ever hear Jealous Guy or they'll get Mind Games but won't hear "Bring On The Lucie" (still one of my all time favorite lesser known songs by John).
Even as a card-carrying member of the "He Man Yoko Haters Club", I have to admit that she can't ALWAYS Be wrong.
Just kidding, Yoko. I was listening to Sisters, O Sisters yesterday and it's a damn catchy tune. What you did on the Live Jam disc of Some Time In New York City was just plain painful, though.
