That's a lifetime in pop: time enough for the Seattle rock scene to have exploded like a supernova and to have collapsed like a white dwarf, time enough for Britney Spears to have gone from an innocent grade schooler to a stripteasing teen queen, time enough for the rap-rock genre to have bulked up its market muscle like a steroid-popping Bulgarian weight lifter.

But because she was also the woman blamed for breaking up the Beatles, Yoko was Victoria without the authority, Jackie without the glamour. Now 67, she's briskly tending her own flame too. She cooperated fully with "Yes Yoko Ono," a show that opened last week at Japan Society in New York City and will travel to six cities in the U.S. and Canada.
