Episode: Re-ReleaseEp. 28 - Yoko Ono's "Cut Piece" (1964)
Description: In honor of International Women's Day, we're re-releasing our love letter to the inimitable Yoko Ono, who once fell for a musician and has become inextricably - and involuntarily - linked with his band's undoing. But she made some truly exceptional art, both in the years since and particularly the years before she met him. And that art is, ironically, an exploration of all the messy, complex power dynamics of a woman giving up control.
