Earlier today, I chatted with Yoko Ono. Enjoy our full exchange below:

1. We last spoke just under two years ago. At that time, you were celebrating a #1 dance hit (‘Give Peace A Chance’). Today, you are celebrating yet another (‘Give Me Something’). Are you elated?

Yes. I am very, very excited. It’s great!

2. What message are you conveying with ‘Give Me Something’?

Following 9/11 and the most recent economic shock, I thought it would be good to sing and dance to turn the negative situation around.

3. Your recent Brooklyn performance with The Plastic Ono Band featured a parade of guest stars. Was that a magical evening?

It was an evening I never imagined to happen in my life. It was very exciting!

4. What was the most challenging part of recording Between…?

It was not challenging at all. I enjoyed every moment of recording it with my son, Sean. That was the most lovely bit for me.

5. I recently interviewed Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips. What was it like to work alongside him and the rest of the band?

When was the last time that musicians had the audacity to not mind stepping into a new world? The Flaming Lips woke me up. It’s not over yet!

6. What are your all-time favorite albums?

John Lennon Plastic Ono Band (John Lennon), Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band (Yoko Ono), Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead (Sean Lennon).

7. What are you currently listening to?

I’m listening to my songs to remix and remaster.

8. What do you have in store for the remainder of the year?

It’s hard to list them since there are so many. Just enjoy as they happen!
