Live: Yoko Ono And Son Bust Out The Rolodex (Lou Reed! Patti Smith! Antony!) For Japan

Better Than: Getting harassed by Lou Reed's manager. There's many perfectly valid reasons to find Sean Lennon deeply dubious.

Why People Twitter

​Now that I've finally joined the twitterati kicking and screaming, I've found out why people do this thing all day. It's sometimes to send links and information--a noble gesture, though one wonders why people appoint themselves the unpaid info spreaders of the web through eternity.

Fashion Week in Review: Threeasfour ♥ Yoko Ono; Rodarte Dresses Us for the Apocalypse
