John Lennon once described Yoko Ono as the world's most famous unknown artist. “Everybody knows her name, but no one knows what she does.” She has only been important to history insofar as she impacted Lennon. Throughout her life, Yoko has been a caricature, a curiosity, and, often, a villain—an inscrutable seductress, a manipulating con artist, and a caterwauling fraud. The Lennon/Beatles saga is one of the greatest stories ever told. Still, Yoko's part has been missing—hidden in the Beatles' formidable shadow, further obscured by flagrant misogyny and racism. This definitive biography of Yoko Ono's life will change that. In this book, Yoko Ono takes center stage. This book was nearly a half-century in the making. In 1980, author David Sheff met Yoko and John when Sheff conducted an in-depth interview with them just months before John's murder. In the aftermath of the killing, he and Yoko became close as she rebuilt her life, survived threats and betrayals, and went on to create groundbreaking art and music while campaigning for peace and other causes. Drawing on his experiences and interviews with her, her family, closest friends, collaborators, and many others, Sheff presents Yoko's nine decades—one of the most unlikely and remarkable lives ever lived. Yoko is a harrowing, moving, propulsive, and vastly entertaining biography of a woman whose story has never been accurately told. The book not only rehabilitates Yoko Ono's reputation but also elevates it to iconic status.

Its parent company, the national pharmacy chain Rite Aid, exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy late last year, but continues to struggle financially. Now, the fewer than 30 Bartell Drugs and around 100 Rite Aids will be sold or closed forever. This continued hemorrhaging of retail pharmacy stores will likely be felt most acutely in lower-income neighborhoods.

Six decades after they stormed the British and American charts in 1964, The Zombies are possibly more popular than ever. Their biggest hits, ‘She's Not There', ‘Tell Her No' and ‘Time of the Season' have been played more than 14 million times on U.S. radio alone. Praised by critics, discovered by a new generation of fans, and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Zombies returned in the 2000s to establish themselves as a top-class touring act still driven to create new music. Based largely on author Robin Platts' interviews with the five original band members, Times and Seasons – The Rise and Fall and Rise of The Zombies (Hozac Books) tells the whole story from the mid-‘60s Decca Records hits and misses through the break-up, to the creation of their orch pop masterwork, Odessey and Oracle, to the solo years, and their unexpected revival in the 21st century.
