00:05and did a couple of records with those musicians and toured, had a great time,
00:10pretty well received in Latin America, which was a relief.
00:14But in the United States, as one of the executives at Warner Records said was,
00:23David, you are your own Yoko Ono, which is kind of unfair to Yoko.
00:28But I knew what he meant.
