Lady Gaga with Yoko Ono: Please explain? [caption this]

The official caption for the photo at left is "Singer Lady Gaga, left, and singer-artist Yoko Ono perform at 'We Are Plastic Ono Band' at the Orpheum Theater on Oct. 2, 2010, in Los Angeles."

We have no doubt you can do better -- so would you help us out, in comments? Keep it clean, please, and feel free to aim for  ridiculous, sublime or all points in between.

In addition to Gaga, guest performers included Perry Farrell, RZA, Carrie Fisher, Vincent Gallo, Harper Simon, Cornelius, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Haruomi Hosono and Merrill Garbus (aka Tune-Yards), Mike Watt and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon.

Gees Yoko,sorry you did not get the memo about wearing matching abyss outfits, but your shining time station conductor outfit is cool too.

I've never been an Ono fan and really not interested in Lady Gaga so this picture of them together just makes me laugh! Yoko Ono's only claim to fame was that John Lennon married her. If it weren't for that there would be no way in hell that anyone would remember her name as any measure of talent (particularly musical talent) is sorely lacking there. I always wondered what happened to Cynthia Lennon who, unlike Yoko, has chosen to keep a low profile all these years and not make a public spectacle of herself by riding on the coat tails of once being married to a Beatle. She's a classier act in her silence than Yoko ever has been or ever will be.
