Yoko Ono Admits She Hid Behind Hair Because…
Yoko Ono is known for her strikingly long black hair covering her face in the sixties. Yoko now admits that she was hiding behind her hair because she was insecure about her looks. As a child, her mother would tell her she had a strong jawline like a guy and that it wasn’t womanly. Yoko thinks she got her strong jawline (which I think looks great) from her Dad. Yoko told ContactMusic that she has always felt she had more masculine than feminine features adding, “I wouldn’t say I am particularly feminine”.
Yoko now admits, “I used to hide my jaws with my long hair” and “I kept to myself”.
John Lennon would reassure his wife Yoko of her beauty continuously. He would move the hair from her face and tell her to show her face because it’s beautiful. He questioned why she would hide behind her hair. But, John Lennon’s mean streak would come out now and then, and he’d tease her by calling her…
a “martian” because of what she calls an unusually large head for her body.
John & Yoko spent a week in bed following their wedding and invited the press into their honeymoon suite in Amsterdam and later Montreal. The protest was to get the press to write about the idea of moving towards Peace. Their room was decorated with handwritten signs saying “Hair Peace” and “Bed Peace”. Unfortunately, the signs were thrown out after the hotel maids cleaned out the room.
During their campaign to protest for peace, John told the press that people should grow their hair for peace and let it grow until peace comes. Lennon didn’t wait that long. In January of 1970, John and Yoko cut their hair very short declaring 1970 would be “Year One” for peace. Ah, if only it were true. Almost 3 years later to the day, the Paris Peace Accords were signed by the U.S., North Vietnam, South Vietnam and the Viet Cong. But, it would be another 2 years after that before the US left Vietnam. And sadly, total world peace is still just a dream.
Apparently John got his pacifist inspiration from his Aunt Mimi. As a boy Lennon would refuse to eat his vegetables. One day his Aunt Mimi scolded the boy Lennon yelling, “Give Peas a Chance!”. OK, I made that part up.

It’s said that for years Eric Clapton was beard because he did like his face.
“Their room was decorated with handwritten signs saying “Hair Peace” and “Bed Peace”. Unfortunately, the signs were thrown out after the hotel maids cleaned out the room.”
Come on, you can’t save everything. Everything isn’t truly worth saving.
If they weren’t connected to the Ono Lennons there would be no laments.
Well, sure if it wasn’t connected with John Lennon, who would care? But it would have been cool to see the “Hair Peace” & “Bed Peace” signs in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame museum or a Hard Rock somewhere.
