Andy Warhol predicted Lady Gaga’s style: Yoko Ono

NEW YORK - John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono has said that Andy Warhol had first advised her to dress in an over-the-top style like Lady Gaga.

“[Warhol] said, ‘Yoko, you should be doing like this and that,’ ” the New York Post quoted Ono as saying at the Loomba Foundation’s Gala Diwali dinner at the Essex House.

Gesturing as if wearing a wild headdress, Ono recalled, “He was actually predicting something like Lady Gaga, you know, the costumes and all that.

“He said, ‘You should do that,’ but I said, ‘Well I’m an activist and I’m not going to do that.’ I was in a different mood then.”

“What she’s doing is beautiful,” said Ono, who performed with Gaga last month in a tribute to Lennon.

“I don’t think I would like to be too near a meat dress,” she added. (ANI)
