Beatle wives Yoko Ono and Linda McCartney liked each other. Really.
So says Ono, anyway. In a British newspaper interview published Wednesday, John Lennon's widow dismissed the commonly held belief that she and Paul McCartney's wife, who died of breast cancer in April, didn't care for one another."People always portrayed us as enemies, like two boxers on opposite sides of the ring, but of course it was never really like that," Ono was quoted as saying in the Liverpool Echo. "In later life especially, we became friends. We had an understanding of each other. We had both married Beatles and we knew what that was like."
Ono also spoke of the lingering hurt over her husband's death in 1980. "I think about John every day, and talking about him is one of my last links with him," she said.
