Sean to play "Double Fantasy": cool or creepy?

NANCY CARR • According to this article in the New Musical Express, Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon will be touring together this summer, with one of the scheduled events being the performance of Double Fantasy in its entirety.

It reflects your own internal monologue--you're Twittering yourself. And that's really quite brilliant, because that's what cyberspace is all about." (In celebration of Yoko in cyberspace, I'm riffing on various breathless run-on Lennon interview-quotes about meeting Yoko at the Indica: This was near [...]
