I agree: I also remember watching them on Sullivan. Yes..he did not do right by the kid. And perhaps the wife who also has passed. Let us hope that John: who made such a difference in our ( the world’s) history and culture beyond anything that most can conceive: let us hope that he learned better. If not? How can souls have a chance to learn and grow. I think that he learned better. He? Had to deal with when he passed over and reviewed his life. This? I know to be true.

[@tomcampbell9645]

Beautiful sentiment. Seems like a lovely man.

[@tommissouri4871]

@Laurel - Cynthia was just another girlfriend he could have as their local fame had created a situation they could pick and choose from. And he got her pregnant. Brian arranged a quiet and quick marriage in August 1962, as you have to remember that would have been a huge scandal, which they didn't need as they were trying to go big and have this clean-cut image. Paul had several like that, too, but he denied getting them pregnant and the organization was able to pay them off. So John had no love for Cynthia really. Sometimes you wonder if John didn't consider both of them as an unfair burden that he couldn't get rid of. Clearly, John hadn't grown up, and being rich, felt he didn't have to. With the death of Brian Epstein in August 1967, there was no one to tell John "no" and he did whatever he wanted to do, which included dumping the noose around his neck.

[@chicochi3]

John Lennon also suffered from the missing father who wasn't there for him. John Lennon's father left. Julian Lennon's father left. And Sean Lennon's father was gone too. Nobody to provide a good role model for a father for any of them.

Kayinfso Here Cynthia is an absolute class act. She walks in from a holiday and sees a woman sitting beside her husband at the piano wearing her bathrobe. I can honestly say I wouldn't have handled it as well as Cynthia did. Julian is also a class act by thinking of his mother as he does. He's a very talented musician in his own right. His brother, not so much. I hated to hear Yoko sing, and Sean sounds just like her. It's awful, just awful.

YOUR'E A GOOD MAN JULIAN"

[@bodensick]

John treated Julian like he didn't even exist. He left him nothing in his will. Paul was more of a dad then John. Paul wrote 'Hey Jude' for Julian.

[@dabreu]

It is for Julian, at least it is dedicated to him. Paul himself told so, why would he lie about it? He was on his way to visit Weybridge right after the separation and Paul had this inspiration to write a song for the kid. When he got there it was almost ready. And he told them it was for Julian. It's true John never believed on it. He always thought it was for him for the reason you said. However, I heard once 'her' in the song is not a woman. It it music! As you know there is something called poetical license. It would not sound so good to sing " you have found it". He knew Julian had already showed interest in music. And he meant the music could heal his soul. That is why he said "take a sad song and make it better". So, "you have found music, now go and get music in your life. The minute you let music under your skin then you'll begin to make it better. It may not be the right explanation, as I didn't hear it from anybody from his inner circle, but the moment I heard about it I found it logical. It made sense to me.

John Lennon never abandoned Julian. That's a myth and I don't know why people persist with that myth. You will see plenty of pics of John in the 60's with Julian, even in that whirlwind time (Julian was born at the beginning of Beatlemania in 1963). When John moved to New York in the early 70's with Yoko he obviously couldn't see Julian as much as he wanted to but there are plenty of examples of John keeping in touch with his first born. 'hi Julian' on the 'Stand by Me' video, Julian playing drums on 'Walls and Bridges'. He took Julian on the sset of 'Happy Days'. It wasn't ideal that father was on one side of the Atlantic and son on the other side but it was never total abandonment. After John left us, Julian was quite happy to deputise for his old man on the Chuck Berry 60th birthday celebration in the mid '80's. If Julian had felt abandoned, why would he do that? As for the real beautiful boy comment, ...grow up,..Julian and Sean are very close, that's probably two of John's beautiful boys wouldn't you say?

His mother died years ago

[@clydekelvinandthesinners.3977]

It must be terribly difficult to be the child of such an icon.

[@SuperNevile]

Lennon is only an icon because of five other people: Paul, the two Georges, Ringo and Brian. He would not have made it as a solo artist, like Elvis...........

@Sharon Jensen right..hes great on his own..💝🎁🎈🎯

[@michaelszczys8316]

It would have been interesting for him to pursue acting and be accomplished actor. It might have worked out much better that way. Then he might not be compared to his father as much.

His father's talent and his mother's grace.

[@ardentynekent2099]

I imagine that he's spent a very long, difficult time reconciling his father's behavior, so unlike his mother's. But, I got the vibe that's he's completely free from John's demons. He was loved and supported by a nuclear family. John was a shadow, and he's finally comfortable with that reality. He's a lovely man, indeed.

[@movid]

😊😊😮😅 this comment is pure nonsense... 🐇 Very few people had John's talent... or a small percentage of his gifts 😅 Paul McCartney certainly is on the same level. Yes for the grace, but Julian, whose a lovely person 💟 would certainly NOT compare himself to his father. ..💭

What this man has been able to do by his own is remarkable. Julian is a true legend. Huge respect. Steely Dan are among my personal faves as well.👍👍 The width of Julian's music is impressive.

He is a class act. His mother obviously was a big influence on him. Unfortunately, Larry constantly interrupts him and asks some ridiculous questions from his list. But Julian comes across as genuine and sincere. He was not treated fairly in the John/Yoko estate, but continues to carry on. It would be cool to see he and Dhani Harrison do something.

[@leatherballs384]

I met Julian in 1991 at Sharkey's Pool Hall in the Dallas suburbs, where he was interviewed and performed during Happy Hour! He was a wild child back then, running in and out the front door of the pool hall, laughing and joking around! I love his music. I'm a song writer, guitarist, and producer and can relate to the love of creating songs that people can really relate to and enjoy. Back in the 80's, I also had the pleasure of hanging out in Liverpool with Mike McCartney (Paul's brother from the band, Scaffold), Allan Williams (Beatles 1st manager), Pete Best (The Beatles' 1st drummer) and his mom, and Father Mackenzie (Eleanore Rigby fame). Allan Williams invited me to join him and his girl friend to ride back to London on the train the next day and I told him, "Thanks, I wish I could, but I just arrived in Liverpool to visit some friends of mine." I heard Allan died in December 2016. In retrospect, I wish I kept in touch with him. He told me he had a clothing store in London. I have these Beatle people on 8mm film that I need to edit and put on facebook and youtube as soon as I find the tapes! Ha!

I know Julian did a fantastic job helping and guiding Sean after his dad passed and still continues to guide his brother with so much love and care....Your awesome Julian, your right, your not just John Lennon's son but your a great man in your own right, Love is the answer:)

Years ago, I told a client/friend who was very America, but also very Japanese, how much Yoko was hated by Americans. He was surprised, but believed me, and wanted to know why. He sincerely wanted me to tell him...because he knew I'd give him an honest view. He had that wheels turning in his head look, and did seem to really 'get' it.

Julian is so intelligent, and interesting. He like many of us, when our Father’s passed, eventually realize, we don’t grieve so much for what was, but for realizing it’s more, realizing, we grieve for what will never be. He probably always had hope they would come back together, until he didn’t. Then forgiveness comes in, and love the people your with now.
