ono was lennon's "muse", inspiring his music and his creative side, for the rest of his life. the two worked together on both his post-beatles records, and ono's wish to also have a music career. she was more interested in "experimental" music than in classical or popular music. ono's songs and unique style sounded strange to most listeners. it was offensive to many people, who thought lennon should have either stayed with the beatles, or made more music in their style. ono changed her style, and began to write and record more pop songs, but her music never became popular. years later, some younger musicians (such as the b-52's) admitted they had liked ono's music. they were inspired by it, as lennon had been.
