Yes, I'm a Witch is a very PRETTY album. I can't take some of her early stuff seriously... like that live gig Plastic Ono did where she screeched Lennon's name for what seemed like ages. I mean if I got on a stage and moaned my boyfriend's name... how many people would actually call it genius? Or better yet... if some unkown did that in the 1960's-70's, someone who wasn't screwing a Beatle, would ANYONE have listened?
While some of her stuff is intolerable... some of it is VERY good, proving that she is more than just a latcher-on to the Beatles.
The good gives her a free pass for the bad. Most artists have churned out garbage at some point in their career.
I don't like it when people always refer to her as some poster-child for the weird and ugly.
I like her.
