Yoko Ono sues Lennon

I read this story today on exclaim.ca and it rather upset me.

It seems that Yoko Ono is suing a singer/songwriter named Lennon Murphy because her name apparently is "causing confusion in the market place that has damaged the John Lennon name."

Silly, eh? But that's not the worst part.

It turns out Murphy -- whose real first name is Lennon -- approached Ono about using the name back in 2000, when Murphy got signed to Arista records. Ono said all was fine.

Only now, as Murphy is no longer signed to a recording deal and struggling to make ends meet, does Ono sue her.

Yeah, I don't get it either...
