As I was walking to see Jemima, feeling fatter with every step. My eye caught John Lennon and Yoko holding up a sign,saying Art is Over.

Yet the sign was on a painting for sale for $6,000 in a trendy Soho gallery. If that is not art, then what is?

A closer look revealed the word, "here", at the bottom of the sign. Art is over, here." Cute, cheesy. Poor old John he should have been 70 this year and making music still and telling the world what to do. He would have put Osama Bin Laden in his place, no question.

During Vietnam John paid for giant billboards with anti war slogans, which were important and meaningful. He is probably turning over in his grave, with this art is over here, nonsense.

"Humph, the Jemima piece is making me feel like a hefalump, and this John piece is too trite, what else you got?".
