Julian Lennon - I Don't Wanna Know [Official Music Video]

[@RobCoates1]

Why is this man so under rated/under appreciated?? I don't care who his dad was. This guy's F-n talented

[@Mr-yj4qz]

I don't wanna know

[@lilyblossom1240]

public is dumb and Yoko has pretty much been a jerk behind the scenes trying to use what power she still holds to hold back his career. she's done some under handed things to promote Sean over Julien. Sean has yoko's talent so...

[@jonathanbywater2063]

Yes he is. His albums are terrific.

[@amateurwave3593]

Exactly!!

[@waterfalls5194]

@ Robert Coates_ *"Why is this man so underrated/underappreciated?"* Because Yoko wanted everybody to IGNORE Julian's talents, *(remarkable singer, songwriter, musician like his dad John, and role model Paul)* who didn't have Lennon millions to back him, or buy him a career, *(Making a point, not throwing shade.)* Julian had only a hunger to make something of himself. He did and became a break out star *(In his own right)* with a #1 hit in his debut, top 2, 5, 10s that followed, cheerful praise from delighted music critics *(looking for the return of John Lennon through his son)* all which seem to bother the shit out of jealous Yoko, who wanted that kind of success, praise and yearning for "the return of Lennon" bestowed on HER son, when Sean became old enough for her to launch his official debut, not for John's "disposable" firstborn. So reportedly, she worked behind the scenes to thwart, and sabotage Julian's music career, using "reverse" payola (For DJs, radio station managers, record execs, NOT to play or promote Julian's music) and using HER ownership of (permission to use for tributes) John's post Beatles music, image, likeness, memory and legacy, *as his widow who must be obeyed,* to enforce her wish and stall Julian's music career. Just mean and selfish is she.

@@slimshine953 aww c'mon man! If John was alive and I were to hear this on the radio I would believe that's John. It's a well known fact that John never liked his voice and would tweak it to make it sound different and after listening to The BeaTles since I can remember music I'd believe he just tweaked like he has so many other times.

Julian inherited his father's musical talent, but unlike John he has a pure heart of gold.

[@jadecunningham4414]

+Eric Jahnke He is such a lovely person.

[@despicabledog]

if John had a "heart of gold" he wouldn't have wrote all those masterpieces. His mother and daddy issues plus the drug use contributed to all the great songs we love today. Also I love Julian but his songwriting is in no way comparable to John's. He writes some good tunes but they are not timeless and poetic masterpieces. He could never write a "Strawberry Fields" or an "Across The Universe" or a "Tomorrow Never Knows". Again, I'm not trashing Julian, but there will only be ONE John Lennon.

[@danielbouju1688]

"Listen to "Saltwater"!

[@seattlepainter]

Anyone that could write a song like "In My Life" also had a heart of gold. It may have been buried under a lot of nasty stuff, but it was there all along. "If I Fell" is also another great example of John's wonderful songwriting. I don't know of any other songwriter that ever wrote such beautiful songs.

[@barnabylee9763]

You knew john then. Don’t think so. So dont judge him. You knew his music. You knew huis stance on peace and etc. Appreciate him for what he his and dont judge him

[@christopherestrada2474]

I feel like John wrote Hey Jude as a way to apologize to Julian. Because obviously John was fine with recording the song with the Beatles. It didn’t bother him. So he wrote it. But of course he also felt ashamed to dedicate it to Julian, so he might’ve asked Paul to sing it. Idk maybe I’m wrong and John didn’t give a fuck lol

[@Urfcannon]

@W O L F S T A R. according to Paul's interview with GQ, Hey Jude was really for Julian and it was supposed to be "Hey Jule"
