Ms Birthday


I am putting this one up here because I am wondering if anyone has any information about it. John's short hair looks like it did in late June 1973 when John and Yoko went to Washington D.C. for the Watergate hearings. What do the shirts mean? Does it have something to do with Ms. magazine?

  1. Yes, that is DEFINITELY the Ms. Magazine logo. Hasn't changed in all these years. As they began in January 1972, it makes total sense, since yes, this photo is definitely from 1973. I know that Yoko was getting pretty involved in feminist activism in 1972-1973, and that John was joining her as an ally. This is an amazing find!

  2. I saw this shot when it was first printed...think he was still working on Mind Games at the time and it was probably a month or so before the "Lost Weekend". If I remember correctly,it was published in Time magazine, but no doubt it was in probably a dozen more besides that.
