Yoko to Paul: I’m sorry for remark

Yoko Ono has apologized to Paul McCartney for insinuating that his songs are trite.

Accepting an award on behalf of John Lennon last month, Ono said Lennon had sometimes felt insecure about his songs, asking “why they always cover Paul’s songs and never mine.”

“I said, ‘You’re a good songwriter, it’s not June with spoon that you write.’ ”

After reports of the apparent slight circulated, Ono apologized in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, now on newsstands. “I certainly did not mean to hurt Paul, and if I did, I am very sorry,” she says.
