A pub owner in Dundee, Scotland is currently feeling the wrath of Yoko Ono after he allegedly received a letter from her stating that he must change the name of his pub, Lennon’s Bar.
Mike Craig, who for the last five years has stuffed Lennon’s Bar full of Beatles memorabilia worth thousands, says he was shocked to receive the letter from Ono, which essentially instructs him to change everything about his pub that makes it unique.
“It’s ridiculous. The pub’s been called Lennon’s for about five years,” Craig said. “(But) the signs will be removed this week.”
Ono’s lawyers are accusing Craig of copyright infringement and that comes with an order to change the name and remove all memorabilia within 14 days. [Jam Showbiz]
