Julian Lennon on Embracing Being Known as John Lennon's Son

[@deansiracusa3966]

Julian going on JRE will give him far more exposure than any of the legacy media could ever hope to provide. Thanks Joe for having him on!

[@pageup213]

I know Rogan's podcast has reach, but this is an insane take. Julian is the son of one of the most famous people to have ever walked the earth, even if we're thinking about reaching a younger audience, people still learn about The Beatles and that inevitably leads you to their story and families. Julian would be known to more people worldwide than Joe.

@@qigong1001 I do. I borderline worship Lennon. He was a very influential figure in my life. But I know he was sometimes an asshole. He was a complex person with good and bad, like everyone. I have always appreciated Julians candour. I think this is true for many/most of us. But, as always, the traditional media is focused on appealing to the lowest-common-denominator. So we get treated like we were simple-minded, and hyper-sensitive.

He's only interesting because of who his father was. Any 'gossip' he had about his dad he's long since told. Lbh, Rogan didn't invite him on to talk about his music 'career' he had 40 years ago

I don't think I've ever heard an interview with him when he hasn't talked about his father.

[@AliceHolbrooke-lc4ty]

It's so cool seeing Julian here, he was a significant figure in my life as a child. Knowing some of his story, helped me deal with my own father/family issues, if nothing else, I didn’t feel so alone. As a child my mother was OBSESSED with the Beetles. When Julian came out with his own music career, I was about 11yrs or so, I always felt more of a "kinship" with Julian, not because I had a famous father or anything, but because I too came from a divorced family with siblings whom received more from their father than I did from the same father...among other things. I know he won't see this, but thank you for being open about your life. The bravery it took to tell people your beloved father wasnt the saint they pictured. Thank you for being an inspiration for me, Julian, you've been one of the few whom I could look to when I felt lost during those times.

He's lived longer than his dad, he has a mature understanding on how it feels to be famous and yet NOT famous at the same time, and he has stories of his music career that would make any interviewer blush with excitement to hear about!

Julian - this goes way back but a close friend of mine has been making music in Memphis for 30+ years now. One of his early bands featured Carlos Morales on guitar. I remember standing at the bar with Carlos at my friend’s wedding reception talking about his time working with you. He couldn’t say enough about what a talented musician and wonderful human being you are. My best wishes to you in all your endeavors. And as they say in your home country, Happy Christmas.

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

I think the reason why they turn him down is because an in-depth conversation with the first son of John Lennon may disabuse them of the idea that John Lennon was something more than just a human being. We all want to remember John Lennon for his music and his activism, but we have to not put blinders on and turn him into a untouchable idol. I think there are just too many people out there who don't want to be reminded of John Lennon's Humanity by looking into the eyes of his forgotten son.

[@comedyriff5231]

John Lennon was one of the most transformative figures in one of the most transformative eras of modern history-the 1960s. This was a decade where culture underwent a seismic shift, moving from a rigid, conservative framework to a more liberal, progressive ethos. Lennon didn’t just live through this transformation; he was at the very heart of it, helping to shape and accelerate the changes that defined the era. His evolution as an artist and individual mirrored the broader cultural revolution. From the polished “moptop” of the early Beatles, whose music fit neatly into the conservative norms of the early ’60s, to the outspoken, rebellious artist of the late ’60s and beyond, Lennon became a symbol of change. He embodied the move away from conformity toward self-expression, questioning authority, and embracing a more open, experimental way of thinking and living. You can agree or disagree with his politics, which shifted and evolved over the years, but you cannot deny his greatness. Lennon was more than a musician, he was a cultural icon who used his platform to challenge societal norms, advocate for peace, and spark conversations that many were afraid to have. He wasn’t perfect, and he never pretended to be. It was his authenticity-his mix of intelligence, vulnerability, wit, and raw emotion, that made him so compelling. Naturally his children will look small in his shadow, but they´ve obviously had amazing opportunities as well. Sean just won an Oscar, and is nominated for a Grammy, managing his fathers legacy.

[@Mike12849]

Agreed. But I hope you aren’t inferring that Julian simply hasn’t managed his fathers legacy as well as Sean has. The emotional abuse and rejection that John subjected Julian to should not be underestimated.

[@JorshWarshington1]
