Drunken pop-cultural sociology

So due to the content Feralboy's recent post about Yoko, I ended up drunkly going on to folks at Rebar last night about my sociological theory about Yoko Ono, Angie Bowie, and Courtney Love. Now I'm sober I can't quite explain it, but I think it has something to do with the mythology surronding popular heroes, and why it is that we have to hate the women that they love. Each of the three greatest singers of their time, (though I'm sure that's debatable to some people) and all their wives reviled as the incarnation of satan himself. Angie is a little differnet as she's not an artist in her own right.
I was trying to figure out who would be a good example of this from the 1980's and realy the only example then is Madonna and Sean Pean. Which takes the whole sexism angle out of the picture. But I want to know why the women or others who are chosen by the heros are so villified. It's got to be more than a simple case of jealousy. Something to look into would be ancient myths about Heros or Gods and the women who slay them, or are just generaly bitches. Perhaps it simply goes back to Zeus and Hera. It's a theory I've been playing around with for awhile, but alas have had no time to sit down and do any proper research on.

Zhang Yimou

I just found out he has made a new movie and it's due out here next month. I'm so excited, he's my favorite director of all time. Now I have to resist the temptation to go and buy the DVD from Ebay in the intervening weeks. I did with Hero, but then that was a matter of years between release dates, not just one month!
