I would say that Julian's mother was a great mama and took care of him...my own dumbassed impression of course.....it would seem that Sean"s mother was not "motherly" and so many pictures and videos were of John taking care of baby.....maybe that is why he was closer...bad reason but sometimes true....
This young man was known in some circles as the Baby Beatle!!! Yes, in all the teen magazines that I had read. They would talk about Cynthia and Baby Beatle Julian. To me he doesn't look as much like John as he use to, but to every time there is a season I guess. He looks good though!!! Paul he said would always send him a card and or call him on his birthday!!!
estoy encantada de ver a Julian lennon,,,,, tienes los genes del, "gran Lennon" ..... aqui en españa se adora a john lennon , tanto como a Julian Lennon.............. escribe julia
@MisterDanceMachine Julian would clearly disagree with you. Your shitty lack of decency and shitty spirit and vibe betray the darkness of your putrid soul. Your lack of generosity toward another human being disqualifies you from everything. Get stuffed.
Blaaaah blah blah. Listen, I'm sorry I mocked your worthless, scruffy hipster idol James WhoGivesAFuck, but the fact is that he is not very good stacked up against Julian fucking Lennon. No contest. Sorry, that's just how it is.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He's not so harsh on his father since his "father" in-law (fiancee Lucy Bayliss's Dad, Robert Bayliss) was convicted of molesting 6&8 year old girls in 2004. He tried to deny it, but fortunately they had video tape of him and he went to prison. He was rubbing their vaginas, sticking his tongue in their mouths and some other stuff. John Lennon doesn't look too bad now does he Jules?
Some think Julian looks like John, and he does, of course. But take a look at a young Eric Clapton as well. VERY similar! Maybe looks more like EC than his dad!
He sounds like Paul when he speaks. Also, he's adopted some of Paul's physical mannerisms as well. I think Julian probably sees Paul as more of a father figure than he did with John. Just a thought.
@BlondeMaria yes very well stated how unfortunate John placed all his attention as Julian said "In another direction" that must have really been tough for Jules..people say Sean looks like John? but not really only the hair and eyebrows look similar to me, now Julian looks almost exactly as John- espec when you compare pictures of them at the same age its almost scarey and Jules sounds like him as well..what a crime they hardly spent any time together..
@MOSKII58 I agree. Julian looks, sounds, smiles & sings just like his father. Not because he is trying to be his father but because he is of his father. Looking at Julian & watching him grow older we will be able to get an image of what John might of looked liked if he had lived past the age of 40.
@animalliberation0961 Oh shut up. You people who are apparently perfect and feel the need to judge other's mistakes when they haven't a clue what really went down. The man has been dead for 30 years, time to get over it. He was SHOT TO DEATH at the point when his son and him were really bonding. Was that his fault? Have some respect because he did in fact love his son and I'm sure had he lived John & Julian would not only be close but he'd be hella proud. Haters got nothing but hate.
@JDWnSRV Well I don't know if it's rare, I just think people start to get into more things as they get older. I guess I just got a head start on that. Of course my parents had some help with that, I grew up in the early 00s when music kind of died a little, so I had to look to alternative sources. Classic rock was a great alternative. Thanks for the compliment.
Oh yea, I have friends who are really into the Beatles after seeing that film. I've actually never seen it, to be honest.
@JDWnSRV Well I do understand their historical importance, they did get rid of a lot of crud with some of their music and paved the way for more edgier bands.
I appreciate the Beatles, I just find some of the fans a little wacko to be honest. And it's never people who actually remember the Beatles, it's always from people my age. Ironically enough people who I introduced to The Beatles..
people went wacko with elvis too, guess you have to be there to feel the unexplainable energy that they let off. the Beatles left that same type of energy. i grew up with their music i was a little girl,woke up to it every morning and played also in the evening, my brother who is now a musician played their songs over and infinity,i can recite all words and songs. He sang their songs over and over, guess that is how my brother became the good musician that he is,we would say shut up already.
@theyubsu1 I understand it, I was very interested in the "grunge" movement when I was a little kid. I think what we see in terms of pop culture from the ages of 5-8 really influences our tastes. I enjoy the Beatles, they were on the radio when I was a kid, but it wasn't my generation. It wasn't even my parents' generation really, my mom was born in 58. Nonetheless everyone knows at least one song from them.
@JDWnSRV No no no, I am not on a rant. I honestly want to know why on earth I should care about Kieth Richards' opinion. Give me some reason to think that Kieth Richards is the be all, end all opinion on music.
Why is that so difficult for you to comprehend? Why do you have to turn this into, "you're an idiot dear."
@JDWnSRV That idea is what honestly and truly gets great and underrated bands noticed, it's not about firing those in the music industry you think are expendable.
@JDWnSRV Again, why should I take the opinion of people who regularly hire dogshit? I'd rather take an objective, unbiased source on who is a talented musician and who isn't. The truth of the matter is that it's difficult to analyze music and to say what's good and what's not. What is a great voice? Does it include big range? A lit of power? Flexibility? You'll never find all three together because the human voice doesn't work that way. This is where things become subjective.
@JDWnSRV Wow, they sound like amazing free thinking human beings...never questioning daddy's word. You must be so proud. Actually I'm sure you are, one is proud of their offspring no matter what. And I won't bring your daughters into this, so you probably shouldn't bring them up either.
I mean, do you honestly think your word is infallible? What are you the pope?
@JDWnSRV I find that incredulous to believe considering that you've been calling me obtuse and stupid in every single post of yours. is that endearing in the same way that you find a punching bag "endearing?"
I'm not your daughter, so please don't think of me in that light. I am a human being, the two of us are having a discussion and whatever my age may be, I expect this discussion to be based on factual evidence.
@JDWnSRV You're speaking for every person in the music industry? Do you have quotes to back every single person in the music industry up?
The music industry gave us Ke$ha, what makes them a valid source of musical talent anyway? What makes them more knowledgeable then someone who's studied music rigorously, as opposed to someone who listens to local bands and thinks he knows everything about music? You're a sound mixer, why are you an expert on anything? That's for you to prove.
It's a free country, why should you censor name calling?
Um...no reality is not my evidence, I don't really understand what the sentence means. I'm asking you to do a musical critique of Julian Lennon's music. Can't you just admit that you have no ability to do such a thing and base your opinion off of your own personal tastes and experiences with music?
@JDWnSRV Who cares what Keith Richards says? What makes him the ultimate judge on music? The point is that scales, chords, and many of the technical aspects of music still exist in rock. If you can't base your critique on that, then I don't really care about your opinion. It's just a subjective opinion and it's not even an educated or informed one. It's just biased, I don't care about bias.
So...your defense is that you're old? ...well that proves your point...NOT.
@JDWnSRV If you can't give me evidence then just accept the fact that you have a subjective opinion. Are you so arrogant that you are unable to recognize that your opinion is not the be all end all of civilization?
@JDWnSRV Of course it does, every form of music has theory...blues, jazz, rock and roll...It may not be intended or even recognized by the musician, but there is still theory there...Theory is really just chords, scales, that are universal no matter what genre they're used in.
Like I said, give me some evidence and I'll believe you.
Don't call me dear, you have no endearing feelings toward me. Calling me a dear is a way of trying to assert dominance over me.
@JDWnSRV There's plenty of great stuff no one seems to know about, yet it's not Lennon's fault is it? You seem to want to vilify someone like Lennon...when YOU work in the music business. How fucked up is that? Go find some talent, hire them, and then you can talk. If not than you are doing exactly what you tried to "accuse" me of doing. You are not practicing what you preach, you should be ashamed.
@JDWnSRV ::sigh:: And hear we are, back at the fact that YOU can't give me any EVIDENCE. You resort to name calling, "child, you need your ears examined"
I told you that I refuse to listen to this childish behavior. All it takes is for you to bring me some evidence and the discussion is over. Since you couldn't do that at first and refuse to do it now, I can assume that you actually never had any to being with.
@JDWnSRV Waa Waa Waaa, you're a poopeyhead!! Can you just back up your statements with evidence? I don't have time for whiny nonsensical insults. I have time for reasonable, rational debate. If you cannot provide me with that, then I don't give a shit.
@JDWnSRV You can't just discredit me by calling me a child, it doesn't work that way. The only way you can discredit me is by giving me evidence, so go do that and come back here. I'm not going to listen to some whiny middle aged pansy verbally abuse me.
@JDWnSRV That's not true at all, I'd be willing to listen to reason if you'd give me that instead of whiny opinions. You sound like a disgruntled and miserable person.
Can you back up any of these statements with evidence? How do I know you're not making it up? How do I know you've even met Michael Alliare? How do I know Michael Alliare is even telling the truth?
Just because I'm young doesn't mean I have no ability to look at something objectively. I'm the one asking YOU for evidence.
@JDWnSRV No, actually this is a perfectly legitimate source. It is a well known fact that Julian Lennon sent demo tapes without his name on them. So how can he be living off of his "dad's feces?"
Yoko Ono placed his bloody clothes at an exhibit. You tell me what's more disgusting.
@JDWnSRV I don't think that's the case, his music doesn't really sound like his father's. If that were the case, then how is he untalented? Your comment is contradictory. You say Julian has "his dad's tone" as if it's supposed to be a compliment, but then you say he "copies his style." That makes no sense.
@JDWnSRV Studios don't know what the hell they're doing at life.
He never made money off of his father, what are you talking about? He's using all of the money he was given to buy his own things back at auctions.
You haven't give me a musical analysis of why Julian lennon is supposedly not talented. I will not listen to someone who can't give me evidence to back up their opinions.
@JDWnSRV I never refuted classic rock, I love the Beatles and have their entire discography. I'm just stating the obvious, they're a bit overrated. This has nothing to do with Julian Lennon, but I'd thought I'd express that.
watch harry smith @ 1:38 "how bout that, ties it all together, sounds great so great see you" totally blows julian off, great, great, cut to commercial what a condescending piece of corporate crap!
@JDWnSRV Julian Lennon actually handed in demos without his name on them and was offered a contract by Charisma Records. The record company literally had no idea of who he even was until he signed the contract. Julian Lennon's TALENT gave him a start and got him where he is today. If you can't acknowledge that, then you are just ignoring factual evidence.
@JDWnSRV And what does that have to do with anything?? You're blaming Julian Lennon for the fact that said local musicians can't get anywhere? I love how they aren't partially to blame themselves, it's everyone else
If you really want to blame someone, blame greedy corporations, but don't blame talented musicians who worked their entire life to get where they are, most of the time with no appreciation for their work.
@TheDiddlysquat I actually like his work and buy it because I think it's great. Day After Day is a pretty great song, the music video that goes along with it is beautifully crafted.
The idea that one must love the Beatles in order to enjoy either musicians' work is just rubbish.
@JDWnSRV He was a SHITTY father to both Julian and Sean, Sean admitted that his father once screamed in his ear so loudly that he partially deafened him! Imagine that! Screaming in the ear of a six year old!
John Lennon was a deplorable person in general.
Yes he has a similar voice, your voice is based on biological factors. Julian Lennon inherited some of those factors due to being biologically related to his father. What's he supposed to do about that?
@JDWnSRV Wow that is the biggest load of SHIT I have ever heard, when has Julian Lennon ever made money off of his father? What kind of ignorant, little arrogant shit makes such a stupid statement? Considering that Yoko Ono pretty much made her entire life out of stalking John Lennon. Julian Lennon happens to be his son, whatever that means, it has nothing to do with him. Can you blame him for trying to separate himself from the almighty image his dad seems to cast over weak little fanboys?
I like Bruce Springsteen and Rick Springfield...Bruce is the man and Rick was perhaps the greatest at creating 80's MOR rock with some amazing pop hooks...I don't see an congitive dissonance there. I saw Rick Springfield live and he put on the most amazing Rock N Roll Show I have ever seen...my friend who's not a big RS fan said his show was awesome.
@JDWnSRV Last comment to you,for someone who dislikes Julian you have left a few comments on Julian sites that he is going to get together with Nigel,you are a troll simple, if you do not like his music dont troll though you tube sites looking to put the man down....now go away and play...................
@JDWnSRV listen here arse wipe, I have been a fan since the 80s and have a large collection of Julians music I asked a simple question,I like oprea,rock,rock a billy etc,etc,so dont go on about rubbish.It is simple I love all forms of good music and that includes Julian..........................
@caulinrocker dude believe me he knows all to well. To sit & watch some of YOUR Father's Letters to HIM, a picture that makes HISTORY, ect. ect. be Auctioned off is a slap in the face to start with. Remember, Julian was AROUND when the Beatles had the World at their feet. Yet he has been the FORGOTTEN 1. Yes he knows all too well of his HALF Brother. IMO however it's Julian that has had the HALF part of LIFE......Namaste
Julian... you're a fine piece of ass!! You look real good to me!! I saw your concert at hall in New York, took a good friend with me. It was 1985 and my dad paid for the tickets. You were cute then and you're filled out in the right places now!! Sorry about your friend Ms Lucy.
Julian was named after John's mother Julia. Ironicaly he had a very strained relationship w/his mother much like his relationship w/Julian. Ironicaly they 2 were repairing their relationship before she was killed by a car driven by a drunk off duty police officer just as they were growing close which would later inspire the song "Julia". "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' was based on a drawing Julian gave his father. John asked Julian what it was & he replied "it's Lucy in the sky with diamonds"
"Hey Jude" was writen by Paul McCartney for/based on Julian & the situation w/Yoko. It was difficult 4 Julian to warm up 2 Yoko because he & his father had a very strained relationship. He was a teenager when John married Yoko & had Sean. Sean had more of John's affection & attention than Julian ever did cuz John didnt love his mother & was so young when Julian was born. After having Sean he began to repair his relationship w/Julian. Sadly he was murdered just as they were growing closer.
@RoseMarysBaby28 , just one slight change ~ Julian was 4 when his father left to be with Yoko, he was around 12 when Sean was born. There was a big space between the time they married and when Sean arrived (she had a couple of miscarriages in between).
@juliannisaakfan sorry i forgot to put the word *was* between John & married lol My bad. I was in a rush 2 point out the diff in how Sean & Julian grew up w/John putting his music aside 4 awhile 2 raise Sean. Julians relationship w/his father mirrored Johns w/his mother. Even the ages abandoned at 4 & death at 17. Thanks 4 pointing that out funny how one word makes such a difference lol I did have it in my head for some reason that Julian was around 13 when Sean was born lol well thanks again
He is just like his Dad when he picks his ear like John and quite stutters like him :) It's cute and Sean looks like a double of JOHN SOOO SOOO MUCH LIKE HIM!! <3 Love Them Both :)
Julian Lennon is a genuine class act. Not only is he extremely gracious and intelligent, he is very very hunky! I wish him the best of everything, especially lots and lots of money!
Julian is so awesome! His dad was such a piece of shit towards him! I feel so bad for him. I think he has a hell of a lot of talent tho, and hope to see something new from him!
@Monkofmagnesia The host said "How about that." in response to both their Grandmothers being named Lucy. This is how wars start, people dont listen or are too stupid to understand.
@zeronova77, funny you should mention that, because Jules is talking about his boyhood friend from school, Lucy ( who is not his Grandmother) and James' grandmother, Lucy, who both have the same name & Lupus. ;-)
The host was a complete ass, and Julian was nothing but polite. WHen Julian said James' grandmother has Lupus, all the host could say in response was, "How about that?" He could care less.
This song is beautiful and knowing it is the same Lucy from the sky with diamonds, it has such a lovely sentiment. Julian is a very heartfelt person. Hope the money can be used in a very productive way. XX
@guitarzz24 Well I think Julian has had the best career so far. What the hell does it matter? Why put bullshit stress on these people? If they make an album that is better than most people have done.
@sailorjack100 He was raised well! All the good and all the bad! But he hangs in there STRONGlike he was taught to do and does with his OWN persona ! PS what is sad? is the word 'Gentleman' as current dictionaries proclaim it 2 B is a 'Victorian Word'? WTF? Nice you used that particular WORD! & WORD! LOL hugs!
You can seriously see Paul's influence on Julian in this video. He wears and even stand up like paul and when he's getting interviewed, he scratches his right eye and twitches abit pretty much like what paul always do.
@acebassist1952 No, that's john lennon's kid. But due to John's negligence towards Julian (with help from yoko OH NO), Paul McCartney stood up and took care of Julian. So what we have now is a mix of Lennon' and McCartney. Julian looked up to Paul alot more than John thats why julian's voice have a hint of McCartney to it.
I would say that Julian's mother was a great mama and took care of him...my own dumbassed impression of course.....it would seem that Sean"s mother was not "motherly" and so many pictures and videos were of John taking care of baby.....maybe that is why he was closer...bad reason but sometimes true....

@JDWnSRV Wow, they sound like amazing free thinking human beings...never questioning daddy's word. You must be so proud. Actually I'm sure you are, one is proud of their offspring no matter what. And I won't bring your daughters into this, so you probably shouldn't bring them up either.
I mean, do you honestly think your word is infallible? What are you the pope?
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV I find that incredulous to believe considering that you've been calling me obtuse and stupid in every single post of yours. is that endearing in the same way that you find a punching bag "endearing?"
I'm not your daughter, so please don't think of me in that light. I am a human being, the two of us are having a discussion and whatever my age may be, I expect this discussion to be based on factual evidence.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV You're speaking for every person in the music industry? Do you have quotes to back every single person in the music industry up?
The music industry gave us Ke$ha, what makes them a valid source of musical talent anyway? What makes them more knowledgeable then someone who's studied music rigorously, as opposed to someone who listens to local bands and thinks he knows everything about music? You're a sound mixer, why are you an expert on anything? That's for you to prove.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV Yes it is name calling.
It's a free country, why should you censor name calling?
Um...no reality is not my evidence, I don't really understand what the sentence means. I'm asking you to do a musical critique of Julian Lennon's music. Can't you just admit that you have no ability to do such a thing and base your opinion off of your own personal tastes and experiences with music?
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV Who cares what Keith Richards says? What makes him the ultimate judge on music? The point is that scales, chords, and many of the technical aspects of music still exist in rock. If you can't base your critique on that, then I don't really care about your opinion. It's just a subjective opinion and it's not even an educated or informed one. It's just biased, I don't care about bias.
So...your defense is that you're old? ...well that proves your point...NOT.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV If you can't give me evidence then just accept the fact that you have a subjective opinion. Are you so arrogant that you are unable to recognize that your opinion is not the be all end all of civilization?
Like I said, grow up...
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV Of course it does, every form of music has theory...blues, jazz, rock and roll...It may not be intended or even recognized by the musician, but there is still theory there...Theory is really just chords, scales, that are universal no matter what genre they're used in.
Like I said, give me some evidence and I'll believe you.
Don't call me dear, you have no endearing feelings toward me. Calling me a dear is a way of trying to assert dominance over me.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV There's plenty of great stuff no one seems to know about, yet it's not Lennon's fault is it? You seem to want to vilify someone like Lennon...when YOU work in the music business. How fucked up is that? Go find some talent, hire them, and then you can talk. If not than you are doing exactly what you tried to "accuse" me of doing. You are not practicing what you preach, you should be ashamed.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV ::sigh:: And hear we are, back at the fact that YOU can't give me any EVIDENCE. You resort to name calling, "child, you need your ears examined"
I told you that I refuse to listen to this childish behavior. All it takes is for you to bring me some evidence and the discussion is over. Since you couldn't do that at first and refuse to do it now, I can assume that you actually never had any to being with.
Who cares if local musicians are great?
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV Waa Waa Waaa, you're a poopeyhead!! Can you just back up your statements with evidence? I don't have time for whiny nonsensical insults. I have time for reasonable, rational debate. If you cannot provide me with that, then I don't give a shit.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV You can't just discredit me by calling me a child, it doesn't work that way. The only way you can discredit me is by giving me evidence, so go do that and come back here. I'm not going to listen to some whiny middle aged pansy verbally abuse me.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV That's not true at all, I'd be willing to listen to reason if you'd give me that instead of whiny opinions. You sound like a disgruntled and miserable person.
Can you back up any of these statements with evidence? How do I know you're not making it up? How do I know you've even met Michael Alliare? How do I know Michael Alliare is even telling the truth?
Just because I'm young doesn't mean I have no ability to look at something objectively. I'm the one asking YOU for evidence.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV No, actually this is a perfectly legitimate source. It is a well known fact that Julian Lennon sent demo tapes without his name on them. So how can he be living off of his "dad's feces?"
Yoko Ono placed his bloody clothes at an exhibit. You tell me what's more disgusting.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV I don't think that's the case, his music doesn't really sound like his father's. If that were the case, then how is he untalented? Your comment is contradictory. You say Julian has "his dad's tone" as if it's supposed to be a compliment, but then you say he "copies his style." That makes no sense.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV Studios don't know what the hell they're doing at life.
He never made money off of his father, what are you talking about? He's using all of the money he was given to buy his own things back at auctions.
You haven't give me a musical analysis of why Julian lennon is supposedly not talented. I will not listen to someone who can't give me evidence to back up their opinions.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV I never refuted classic rock, I love the Beatles and have their entire discography. I'm just stating the obvious, they're a bit overrated. This has nothing to do with Julian Lennon, but I'd thought I'd express that.

@JDWnSRV To say that John Lennon had any part of his musical career or even success is just a load of rubbish.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV Julian Lennon actually handed in demos without his name on them and was offered a contract by Charisma Records. The record company literally had no idea of who he even was until he signed the contract. Julian Lennon's TALENT gave him a start and got him where he is today. If you can't acknowledge that, then you are just ignoring factual evidence.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV They don't actually, there are plenty of interviews that don't mention The Beatles or John Lennon at all. You just need to go look them up.
Of course I'm sure it's easier and more entertaining for you to make shit up in your head.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV And what does that have to do with anything?? You're blaming Julian Lennon for the fact that said local musicians can't get anywhere? I love how they aren't partially to blame themselves, it's everyone else
If you really want to blame someone, blame greedy corporations, but don't blame talented musicians who worked their entire life to get where they are, most of the time with no appreciation for their work.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@TheDiddlysquat I actually like his work and buy it because I think it's great. Day After Day is a pretty great song, the music video that goes along with it is beautifully crafted.
The idea that one must love the Beatles in order to enjoy either musicians' work is just rubbish.
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV He was a SHITTY father to both Julian and Sean, Sean admitted that his father once screamed in his ear so loudly that he partially deafened him! Imagine that! Screaming in the ear of a six year old!
John Lennon was a deplorable person in general.
Yes he has a similar voice, your voice is based on biological factors. Julian Lennon inherited some of those factors due to being biologically related to his father. What's he supposed to do about that?
Sshelly34213 1 year ago
@JDWnSRV Wow that is the biggest load of SHIT I have ever heard, when has Julian Lennon ever made money off of his father? What kind of ignorant, little arrogant shit makes such a stupid statement? Considering that Yoko Ono pretty much made her entire life out of stalking John Lennon. Julian Lennon happens to be his son, whatever that means, it has nothing to do with him. Can you blame him for trying to separate himself from the almighty image his dad seems to cast over weak little fanboys?

Julian was named after John's mother Julia. Ironicaly he had a very strained relationship w/his mother much like his relationship w/Julian. Ironicaly they 2 were repairing their relationship before she was killed by a car driven by a drunk off duty police officer just as they were growing close which would later inspire the song "Julia". "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' was based on a drawing Julian gave his father. John asked Julian what it was & he replied "it's Lucy in the sky with diamonds"
RoseMarysBaby28 1 year ago
"Hey Jude" was writen by Paul McCartney for/based on Julian & the situation w/Yoko. It was difficult 4 Julian to warm up 2 Yoko because he & his father had a very strained relationship. He was a teenager when John married Yoko & had Sean. Sean had more of John's affection & attention than Julian ever did cuz John didnt love his mother & was so young when Julian was born. After having Sean he began to repair his relationship w/Julian. Sadly he was murdered just as they were growing closer.
RoseMarysBaby28 1 year ago
@RoseMarysBaby28 , just one slight change ~ Julian was 4 when his father left to be with Yoko, he was around 12 when Sean was born. There was a big space between the time they married and when Sean arrived (she had a couple of miscarriages in between).

@juliannisaakfan sorry i forgot to put the word *was* between John & married lol My bad. I was in a rush 2 point out the diff in how Sean & Julian grew up w/John putting his music aside 4 awhile 2 raise Sean. Julians relationship w/his father mirrored Johns w/his mother. Even the ages abandoned at 4 & death at 17. Thanks 4 pointing that out funny how one word makes such a difference lol I did have it in my head for some reason that Julian was around 13 when Sean was born lol well thanks again

So what we have now is a mix of Lennon' and McCartney. Julian looked up to Paul alot more than John thats why julian's voice have a hint of McCartney to it.
