Certainly not one of Ringo Star and Paul McCartney. The glory belongs to Ms.Yoko Ono, widow of late John Ono Lennon. Entire generations throughout the world hate her for holding her in charge of dismantling the Beatles .

I am absolutely sure that without Yoko John's life would be quieter, more boring and longer. On the contrary, if she had not met the man who saw her as God's present to him, she would have lived the expected life of a short peculiar Japanese artist.
