Paul says Yoko ain't so bright

Paul McCartney has responded to Yoko Ono's remarks at the Q Awards, saying he does not think she is 'the brightest of buttons'.

Paul McCartney has quite justifiably had a dig at Yoko Ono following her comments at last week's Q Awards. Ono ridiculed McCartney when she revealed that John Lennon used to wonder why people covered Paul's songs more often than they covered his, and that she'd told him: 'You're a good songwriter. It's not June with spoon you write. You're a good singer, and most musicians are probably a little bit nervous about covering your songs."

McCartney has responded: "I don't take any notice of her. She's John's wife so I have to respect her for that, but I don't think she's the brightest of buttons. She's said some particularly daft things in her time. Her life is dedicated to putting me down but I attempt very strongly not to put her down".
