Frank Gehry passed away today. From my interview:
"It’s like architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children – for anyone. It still does for me.

Recommend "Yoko: A Biography" by @david_sheff. From the horrors of WWII, loneliness, love, fame, & surviving loss, to deeply understanding a misconstrued woman, it chronicles 60+ yrs. of @yokoono's artistic expressions to reveal who she is, but ultimately exposes who we are.
my mom is a counselor in a suboxone/harm reduction clinic so this one, which I’ve been meaning to read for a while, hit really close to home. Just incredible @david_sheff, thank you.

In Chicago!
MCA Chicago is the premiere U.S. stop for amazing @yokoono major retrospective
"She has been celebrated, especially in a recent biography by @david_sheff that, thankfully, took pains to remind us all of Yoko’s talents.

Very proud of my good friend @david_sheff having such success with his book about my mother. He has always been a true family friend and a great writer. Well deserved!

New @reason Roundtable w me, @kmanguward@petersuderman
and @mattwelch talking GOP big beautiful bill, tariffs, MAGA accounts, & more. I recommend the new @yokoono bio by @david_sheff, which documents her long-lasting impact on avant garde & pop culture.

@david_sheff I just finished YOKO. What an amazing biography that has completely changed how I see Yoko and have now realised how wrong I have been adopting the narrative peddled by others. Thank you so much for writing it. Superb.
Just finished reading Yoko by @david_sheff … well worth the time. It was beautifully written and provided glimpses into a powerful woman and an important era in history. Yoko is an amazing human.
Also check out his book Beautiful boy (and the movie). #nytbooks#nyt#Peace
Can we fully understand the Beatles story without understanding Yoko Ono? Author @david_sheff argues the story certainly becomes richer once we do.
