Bob Dylan's not the only venerable musician who's sick of having his distinctive singing style attacked: Yoko Ono has published a scathing rejoinder to her critics. "DON'T STOP ME!" reads the headline of the post on her website, which goes on to say, "Let me be free. Let me be me! Don’t make me old, with your thinking and words about how I should be.
