Yoko Ono, Aziz Ansari, & Unlocking the Truth

Studio 360 | Jun 25, 2015

John Lennon described Yoko Ono as “the world’s most famous unknown artist.” That’s changing, with 10 number one dance hits in recent years, and a solo show of her art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Also, we hear from comedian Aziz Ansari, who started doing stand-up in college on a whim and now headlines Madison Square Garden. And, barely in their teens, the band Unlocking the Truth might be the youngest metal band ever to sign a major record deal.
