Lennon and Ono also promoted the single with an appearance on Emperor Rosko's BBC Radio 1 show "Midday Spin", shortly after the "cue card" clip aired. In response to the many letters asking about her role in the "Top of the Pops" performance, Ono said: "the blindfold means to me like everybody in the world is like blind ... the stool was like a grove ... And everybody's sitting on the grove blindfolded and trying their best, you know." Rodriguez describes both clips as "terrifically engaging, providing suitably dynamic visuals to a powerful song". He says that the "cue card" performance "captures much more of the ambience, with frequent shots of White's stellar work and the studio dancers". In the view of media analyst Michael Frontani, Lennon and Ono's untidy, cropped hairstyle befitted the couple's "new agenda" for 1970 – a year in which Lennon, still mistrusted by the political left for his rejection of their principles in the Beatles' 1968 single "Revolution", sought "greater confrontation with the system". Frontani writes of Lennon's appearance on "Top of the Pops": "This was a stark picture, one at odds with his Beatles past. For Lennon, ragged and ugly in comparison to the Beatle image, it was a means of breaking even more fully with his pop star past."
