Yoko Ono says performing at SXSW is dream come true

She says her conversation with Denberg, a long time friend who has interviewed her several times in the past, will be "about music and how it's going to survive and how important music is for the human race and the survival of the planet." She describes him as "a very intelligent guy," and says the pair "can talk about things from a pretty intelligent point of view."
