Is this some kind of sick joke?

From BBC News:

John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono has been given a lifetime achievement honour at Mojo magazine’s awards in London.

Mojo chief editor Phil Alexander, who hosted the event, praised Ono, 76, as “a huge influence on modern music”.

Bollocks.

    What? She’s done a lot of work with some highly respected artists. She’s more than just “John Lennon’s widow” as BBC News describes her.

    But she hasn’t been a “a huge influence on modern music”.

    Exactly. And giving her a lifetime achievement award implies that she has been.
