[edit] POV

What a horrible horrible article.(anonymous poster 07:25, 16 February 2005)

Well I agree someone very foolishly had included unending opinion in this article. I'm rewriting it to be unbiased. Shouldn't take awhile.

Ok so I edited it now, it is still very brief, but I went into as best I could. I cut out all of the biased remarks, as best I could. Please edit if need be. Thanks.

[edit] Jamrag

A previous version of this article stated:

It's of particulary interest to note that Lennon and Ono changed the name of the Zappa's song "King Kong" to "Jam Rag", gave themselves writing and publishing credit on it, stuck it on the album and never paid him.

This is extremely POV. "Jamrag" is made up of three parts. The first part is "Say Please." The second part is "King Kong." The third is "Jamrag" (titled "Aawk" on Zappa's version of the performance). Since John & Yoko probably didn't know what "King Kong" was, they credited it as "Jamrag," thinking that the "King Kong" part of the jam was an improvisation. Had Yoko chosen to reissue Some Time In New York City as seperate albums rather than having the last part being an edited version of Live Jam with two bonus tracks added, "Jamrag" would have probably been changed to "Say Please/King Kong/Jamrag," and Zappa would have been given credit for his small contribution to the track. But that's just my opinion. (Ibaranoff24 04:51, 23 June 2006 (UTC))
