Crazy! Here’s some Super 8 footage of John Lennon and Yoko Ono at a party in 1971 playing basketball with Miles Davis.

The woman in the red dress is Miles’ second wife, Betty Mabry, aka Betty Davis, supreme foxy goddess, raunchy force of nature and the original “nasty girl.” Miles comes in at around the 5 minute mark.

Dangerous Minds is a compendium of oddities, pop culture treasures, high weirdness, punk rock and politics drawn from the outer reaches of pop culture. Our editorial policy, such that it is, reflects the interests, whimsies and peculiarities of the individual writers. And sometimes it doesn't. Very often the idea is just "Here's what so and so said, take a look and see what you think." I'll repeat that: We're not necessarily endorsing everything you'll find here, we're merely saying "Here it is." We think human beings are very strange and often totally hilarious. We enjoy weird and inexplicable things very much. We believe things have to change and change swiftly. It's got to be about the common good or it's no good at all. We like to get suggestions of fun/serious things from our good-looking, high IQ readers. We are your favorite distraction.
