A screech out of nowhere by any other name is still a screech.

A meme shows the moment that John Lennon and Chuck Berry reacted to Yoko Ono"screeching into the microphone" during a 1972 appearance on"The Mike Douglas Show."On Jan. 14, 2023, the Rock Reflections Facebook page posted a meme that showed a still frame from a video with the caption,"The very moment when Yoko Ono starts screeching into the microphone while John Lennon and Chuck Berry are performing on 'The Mike Douglas Show' in 1972.

Was the still frame with Berry's wide-eyed reaction actually from a different part of the song? Was this meme in any way misleading?Beginning at the 16:05 mark below, readers can see that Berry's eyes go wide upon the first sounds that Ono made, while the band plays his hit,"Memphis, Tennessee." Lennon appeared to slightly react as well, looking slightly to Ono's direction, but not with quite the facial expression shown by Berry.

One YouTube user commented,"Respect to the person who switched Yoko's mic off. They should be found and put in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame." It's unclear if the microphone was truly switched off. Nevertheless, Ono could not be heard, at least not loudly, after the first bout of"screeching."
