Stop comparing Julian to his father. I love Julian's music and I think he is a wonderful musician, unlike some other artists I know... He was bitter about his father at a time, but can you really blame him? Because John was famous, rich, and couldn't even give his son the time/money he needed? Well, I suppose you can thank Yoko Ono for most of that. But Julian's past that now. He stands for his own causes and he's wealthy and successful in his right (no pun intended). I wish him all happiness.
Fuck Yoko, I remember our stupid vocal teacher brought her album for us to listen to in school and I thought , this is one untalented stupid bitch and your a complete IDIOT for liking this shit. Her stupid fucking lyrics, hot dog hot dog bla bla bla fucking dumb bitch. John was under some sort of spell , the is not even remotely good looking. Of all the women that wanted John and he picked her? It is a mystery.
I really need to hear this CD Just to understand his life. I hope. The greatness of his father is the measure of the sadness of his son.So this song of sadness sings
All these Yoko supporters, how can you justify what was done to Julian? She wouldn't let him have one bloody guitar of John's that he always loved when John died. He's excluded from everything, it's just not right. Yeah, John loved her, but John wasn't all that great to Julian himself at times (he loved him, but wasn't always there). Julian is John's first born, he deserves better and unfortunately he'll probably never get it cos John's gone now, but I wish him all the best with his life.
@MrsRhythmNation I've got no idea how people still manage to like Yoko after all the crap she's done to John's family and friends. She is a witch and I will be so glad when she cops it. She is going to rot in hell.
Of course Cynthia did a beautiful job raising him. But sometimes stuff can be incorrect. I've seen so many documentaries and interviews and never heard that half the shit you say Yoko did. John was not going to separate from Yoko. After they released Double Fantasy John planned a world tour, a next album and to visit Mimi. But as you said we just have to agree to disagree. We shouldn't get argumentative since we don't know the entire truth. Truce ok? :)
@theredandbluealbums That's because most of the documentaries you saw had Yoko's input to it, so of course you're not going to hear the things that not only I said, but MANY others have said. But hey, you can still stick with what you believe and I'll stick with mine. Truce.
@Gabreya Ok. Great arguing with you. i understand that maybe you're right about things that happened between their relationship, but i stick with the opinion that theirs really was love. But you presented great points, so i take my hat off to you.
@theredandbluealbums Same to you. You also had some great points. But I'll still stick with what I know and continue researching. As I've said before, I'm glad that Julian didn't let what happened to him destroy him and he became a better man. Btw, my hat comes off for you in return. :)
Oh come on, now. I understand his opinion of Yoko to be negative judging by their past history. But John had Julian at an immature age, where he was still an angry young man and didn't see reason to form a relationship with him until he met Yoko and became a changed man.
After he found himself with Yoko that was where he wanted to see Julian and actually connect with him as a father. And it is only the fate of things that saw why John was closer to Sean than with Julian.
@theredandbluealbums Okay then. Now tell me something. How come Julian, since John got with Yoko, saw his father only like 8 or 9 times in the 70s? A WHOLE DECADE! Yes, they lived very far apart, Juls in London & John in NY, but that's extremely few visits between them! He could've gotten on a plane to London and go see his son if he wanted to but he was under Yoko's thumb. And it's still doesn't make it right that John treated Sean better than Julian. THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THAT.
@theredandbluealbums I half agree. Yes, John missed a lot when he was a Beatle. But according to Cyn, he was actually rather a decent husband and father. I think when he got heavily into drugs, his personality kind of changed a bit. It's been implied many times by even John himself that he was very insecure and troubled due to his terrible childhood. Taking drugs may have helped him cope with his pain but not for long.
@Gabreya Wait a minute, in most interviews, she stated that he was not much of a decent husband. Sure he provided but he was abusive due to his inner inability to express vulnerability. The drugs merely numbed the pain temporarily but it really did vanish when he found real love in Yoko. The discussion we engaged in was originally the point that slamming Yoko as manipulative really doesn't seem that accurate to me. Then again we weren't even there. We don't know everything that happened.
@theredandbluealbums Yes he did. But it was emotionally. Again, it was brought on by his horrible childhood and possible emotional problems. He didn't know how to express his emotions right, except in his music. Also, I STRONGLY DISAGREE that he found real love in Yoko. Maybe it was love at first but as time went by, it was more unrequited love on John's part. As you said, we weren't there. Only the people closest to them have said.
@theredandbluealbums I believe he loved Julian but he just didn't really know how to express it to him. He wasn't taught how to be a good parent because his father abandoned him, his mother couldn't take care of him even though she seemed to love him, and his aunt was overbearing & strict towards him. Even his mother dying so tragically sudden really affected him for the rest of his life. He never really had a good mother figure in his life and he found that in Yoko.
@theredandbluealbums Yoko, in the beginning, gave him that sense of 'security', 'nurturing', and 'codling'. But soon, that turned sour when she played with his insecurities and manipulated him into thinking that she's the most important thing in his life. Her influence caused him to not have much contact with many of his family members, Julian being one of the main ones, and his friends.
@Gabreya Yeah, but you can't say she manipulated him into worshipping her. After all that was completely mutual. When they had the Lost Weekend, she stated she would be shaking without him. You can't call that bullshit. They were inseparable. She didn't make him insecure until he realised how much he needed her. He began the separation by cheating on her. He had complete freedom to contact Julian. And he called Aunt Mimi every week until his death so i don't think she isolated him from family.
@theredandbluealbums Is that so? She threatened to commit suicide years earlier when he wanted to go visit Julian in London! When he wanted visit his own son! That's just insane! Then, when Sean was born, he went into the 'household husband' situation and was raising his 2nd child. But all wasn't right. When he wanted to have contact with Julian, the phone calls were tapped by Yoko so the service couldn't get through! Who does that shit?
@theredandbluealbums He called Aunt Mimi sometime before he was killed and told her that he was moving back to Europe & taking Sean with him. He even said that he and Yoko were seperating and he wanted Sean to be raised around a better environment, and possibly wanting to see Julian again. He written a LONG LETTER to Julian before he died and it took Julian so many years to find his letter because guess what. Yoko wouldn't give him the letter that was suppose to go to HIM. Now THAT'S bullshit.
@Gabreya Yeah, but when he was a Beatle he wanted nothing to do with both Julian and Cynthia. He wrote a letter to Cynthia stating how he had been a right bastard to the both of them only after Yoko helped him find himself. He then made the effort to form a connection with him. And if he hadn't died by now all would be resolved in it's own way.
But all i meant from this is don't blame Yoko for being John's soulmate. She didn't break up the band or ruin Julian's life any more than it was.
@theredandbluealbums You know what? To hell with it. We could go on and on about this. You can believe what you want to believe and vice versa. Ultimately though, John should've been a better father to Julian and shouldn't have neglected. I'm glad that Juls turned out to be a wonderful, personable man who'd forgiven his father. I also commend him for forgiving Yoko for the crap she's done to him. Cynthia did a beauitful job raising him.
Forget all of John's peace and love...he had a son on this planet and he didn't acknowledge him at all....The guy was an asshole...respect the crap out of his music, its the best...but the measurement of the man in him? very small.. miniscule actually. its nice to see julian rise above not having a father and still succeed
Yoko was a whore who was only interested in John's fame and money. The global campaign for peace? Protests against the Vietnam War? Come on! That woman is a fake.
@BetoLee100 You darn tootin. Notice she doesn't really do anything that truelly honors John like campaigning for global peace now. Cause she comes across as very fake. As a matter of fact, the Lennon legacy right now looks as if something most people, even fans, sorta steer clear of because if anyone was to pay their own tribute to John in some way, little or big, or anything involving John that's positive, she will SUE them. Just some stupid BS. Cause they're honoring her husband?! What a joke.
I love The Beatles, but I never thought of any of them being without flaws. Overall John was a crappy father to Julian, I know they loved each other but that's no excuse for John treating Julian the way he did and favoring his other children over his firstborn. People are always quick to blame Yoko, but John's relationship with his son was messed up long before she was in the picture.
Hey Gabreya! Happy New Year to you too! Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner, my computer is down and I don't have the cash to get it fixed right now so I am sharing my parents' and my stepdad is the one whom is on the computer a lot,so I don't get to get on as much,only when I can-when he's at work,sucks,but it is what it is.
@calster33 Hi, dear! Thank you and it's okay. I understand. My laptop is in need of a new battery and more Internet connection. I'm currently using the family computer which I've been using long before I gotten my laptop. I hope your computer gets fixed soon. I also hope your holidays and New Year's were blessful. :)
Wat a bitch. Shes sellin all of johns stuff 0.0 Fkin Bitch. At least Julian is buyin back his fathers belongings instead of tryin to make a profit out of them
Don't feel bad julian-I went through the same thing-only my dad left all 5 of us older kids HIGH AND DRY-didn't leave us ANYTHING and his 4th wife made sure what things he had when he died that they were given to the 2 children she had with him-they got everything and us kids got nothing-sucks,so don't feel bad-you're not alone,at least you got something and I envy you. Love you always Julian!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Julian and the rest of his family need to leave America and go back home. His mom is a chink and needs to be banned from America. Go back to Japan, bitch!
@primate4 Home? Julian has the right to live wherever the hell he wants to, plus his mother was John's first wife, Cynthia Powell. Think before you say something stupid, troll.
omg ..did julian lennon { have to buy back postcards from his daddy} that were from him personally or to him ..omg...i have no words that could describe yoko ono ..the cunt she is ..she a bastard ..I'm surprised she didnt burn them ..or tell julian that he threw them away ..dam!
@venusironmaiden Indeed. Julian had to find HIS OWN POSTCARDS & LETTERS sent to him by HIS OWN FATHER, John, and buy them back. That's just stone cold having your deceased husband's own child(flesh'n'blood for Christ's sake!) to find the items his father meant for him to have when you sold them without caring to simply give them to him. But don't worry. Jules will have the last laugh.
Julian is more like his dad than Sean is.end of. Sean has a likeness of his of his dad defiantly but id say he looks, sounds and acts alot like yoko. from looking at some interviews of Sean he seems a little uptight and snobby(i may be wrong, but its just my opinion) Julian on the other hand ..wow, he's got john written all over him, he's down to earth, honest, looks like him, sings just like him!! the only difference is, is that i think Julian is a more softer/calmer version!<3
@annaaLpool sean lennon does look and sound like a snobb. Did you hear his interview with his mother? At the end he sounded like he's some 16 year old who thinks he is better than everybody. Like mother, Like son. What can you expect from a boy growing up with that kind of influence?
John Lennon (born and grew up in Liverpool, had a liverpool accent), Julian Lennon (born and grew up in Liverpool, had Liverpool accent) plus is son of John Lennon.
Julian sounds just like his father and I think John knew that he was the son that would grow up to be like him,the said it when he was born and I think he purposedly left Julian on his own.Just the way John was on his own this entire life,without a father.I think he did that to Julian on purpose.Before he died,he specifically made copies of his journals for Julian to have. John loved him.
Julian sounds just like his dad <333 He has the same voice,that Sean guy sounds like his horrible mother. This song sounds so much like John I couldn`t believe it wasn`t him !
@MistaBojanglesOHYEAH That's bullshit. People have come from conditions just as worse as pre-WWII japan. Genocide, prison camps, torture, mass poverty, biological warfare, mass rape, live human dissection, lost all their family etc. People have survived the worst and i know as my family has suffered, but they fkn got through it. the way yoko treats julian and the people outside her is unacceptable.
So,, all the comments that have been thrown about here, is suggesting that a certain someone be using peace as weapon? As the other would feel contradictiive to the theology and legacy. Our Cin was brought up with good morals and manners, and Julian has the ''no beefing about attitude'' just like his dad.
JOHN LENNON WAS A PIECE OF SHIT N SO IS YOKO ONO . ITS A SHAME THAT SWEET JULIAN LOOKS LIKE HIS BASTARD OF A FATHER JULIAN IS THE BETTER LENNON , LOVE YA JULIAN
I think John tended to shoot from the hip with a lot of comments back in the day. Had he taken a 5 second pause before spouting off, he may not have said this quite so insultingly. Something tells me he probably didn't mean it as it sounds. Though he was known to be abrasive. Oh, well, him and the other three will always be number 1 in my books.
I refuse to insult Yoko, John loved her and she was the most important thing in his life, insulting her would be like insulting Lennon and I refuse to do that.
why must every love be a strange, manipulated thing? don't you believe in love or peace?
so julian, finally: if you don't accept your daddys wife which is one of the best artists of all time (who ever disagrees: suck it!) you are not the son of john lennon. you are the son of a workless housewife who lives from the money of her dead ex-husband. so go home. no one knows your name, and that is good after what i saw here. JohnYokoSean - that's for always!
@Lovemyselfidoes81 i know. so it isn't possible at all? okay, it was a bit naive from john and yoko to think that staying in bed and growing your hair would get peace all over the world. but why is this believing so bad?
imagine martin luther king wouldn't have had a "dream"!
@nintendy Yoko is a selfish, manipulative woman who prevented John from having a strong, solid relationship with his FIRST son Julian. She never gave Julian, his mother Cynthia or any of John's English family any of John's money or possessions after he died. Straight after John's Aunt Mim died, Yoko sold Mimi's house and kept all the money to herself. She acts as though she was John's only love when if fact she wasn't. Her 'art' is laughable. She has brainwashed you into thinking she is a saint.
Well, if what you say is true, then why did Cynthia meet and kiss Yoko on both cheeks not so long ago? If you don't believe me, then try typing in YouTube: 'Julian Lennon and Sean Giving Peace a Chance' so that you can go take a look for yourself!
@nintendy I have seen that video, that video happened just at the end of last year. And it did not look like they were old friends catching up. It only happened so John's image of 'peace' wouldn't be ruined. That's all. You can't erase history: the proof is there. Yoko is an evil woman who prevented a father-son bond, completely pushed Julian out of John's life, never gave Julian any of what was originally his, but instead SELLING it to the public just so she could have all the money.
@choobuka But think of how upset/angry even you feel! If even you feel like that, then I'm pretty sure that Cynthia (if all were true) would be feeling far worse and so would have been unable to meet up and kiss someone who'd treated her that way... Also; you undermine John Lennon (and the Beatles) if you really believe that a little tiny woman could have so much input... Doesn't say much about your opinion of those whom you try to defend... Yoko is an amazing, generous and 'special' lady!
@nintendy So you have got nothing to say about how badly Yoko treated Julian and his family? How manipulative, selfish and narcissistic Yoko is as she as been keeping all of Julian's money to herself? Cashing in on the Lennon name and exploiting him to this day? I'm not upset or angry, I'm laughing at how naive and unaware you are of your idol Yoko. I have done my research. Maybe you should too, instead of being brainwashed by Yoko into thinking that she is some 'peace saint' :)
@choobuka But what kind of research?? I guess listening to others - reading books right? This is all 'hearsay'. You do not know this lady - or indeed any of the family - neither do I, hence why I do not 'judge'. I only say that even if these things were true - you really think there would be no reason/cause?? I would be more interested in knowing why someone would apparently behave that way than to just 'condemn' them outright... Their business is theirs - not mine/ours... i ii iii
can't two people fall in love? paul mccartney married his 3rd wife after his first and best one died and his second wife got divorced! millions of couples got divorced? why is john & yoko so horrible for anybody? they worked for peace, made big music and were great artists. what do you idiots want? i know, you want someone like amy winehouse, someone you can be angry and sad about at the same time. and when they die, you make them heroes.
julian lennon (even if you don't deserve that surname), this goes out to you: you damn damn goddamn asshole! you'd better stop trying to amek what you call music and run back to your bitch-mother and cry out your sorrows! cynthia has NEVER down anything productive in her life! she only married john and than she got divorced becausehe found the love of his life! john & yoko - that was the couple, man, that was love. yoko didn't manipulate him in any way! i'm asking myself in which world i live?
@Middlesexful u need to start taking your medications on a regular basis ... your opinion is just that an opinion and it's infected with vitiol and self hatred ... you need help ...
@willrobm i don't... i can't believe that. why am i forced to share the existence on earth with such people like you? you know what i'm doing on youtube and in my private life? i always have to defend my idols like yoko or (the german actor, i'M german) klaus kinski. i'm sick, you know, i'm sick. everybody on one. fair?
i would rather turn your rubbish around: YOU and all the yoko-haters are filled with self hatred. your all are so detroyed that you have to turn your anger on yoko and...
...against fans of her like me. you tell me i need help?
for once in my life i wanted to cry out as loud as it's possible on youtube what i think about all your childish yoko-bashing. and you say i need help? such human beings like you can't be helped anymore.
@willrobm every time you open your piehole and run that same infected vitriol just so that you can make sure that only can be right you proove my point ... You really do need to take a breath, calm down and get over yourself and maybe just maybe you might start enjoying life and the opinions of others who dare to differ from you ... In real time I don't see that ever happening for you ...
Yoko boke a family and will join her late hubby in hell. God is loving but rightous. Divorce for any other reason rhen adultery is not o.k. All bitches who break families are going to pay.
@choobuka "Julian was born out of a bottle of whisky on a Saturday night" was said by John in a Playboy interview in 1980. That quote alone made my respect for John as a human being completely disappear. It was such an inhumane thing to say. I don't care how much love he showed towards Yoko and Sean, just the fact that John had the NERVE to say such a disgusting thing about his other SON at the same time is beyond me. It makes my blood boil. " It's disturbing to say the least.
@Prelestnost2 Yes, but he goes onto say that it doesn't matter, it doesn't mean he loves either one any less. Even though it can be viewed as cruel at least John could admit the truth, rather than sugar-coat it.
@Prelestnost2 Well it may not be kind, but it isn't inhumane, why shouldn't truth be said exactly? is it more inhumane to lie and say he was born out of love? It may not be the kindest words to hear, and that was John, he'd say what he felt, he was outspoken at times but did love julian, there's a story elton john talks about, about John and julian.
@Prelestnost2 i admit john treated sean an yoko way better than he treated julain and cyn but when john had to take care of of julian he was a beatle which means he had to work all the time (julian and cyn were actually kept a secret from the audience for years)and he didnt work when he was raising sean at that time he was a househusband at yokos request so he obviously had more time for Sean but that doesnt mean he loves sean more than julian in fact julian drummed at age 12 for 1 of john album
@themusica95 People have to understand when people get 're-married', former lives (however unfair that may be) take a back seat. My father's been married twice and so I know - it's the way - pointless criticising or hating someone for it. If reversed, then John would have felt left out too - you can be sure of that. It's the way it is - sadly... Julian has at least some compensation for having such an amazing step mother in Yoko Ono! She's still with us and still doing amazing things!
You are correct. I grew up considering John Lennon a hero of mine and he still is. He was a genius in more ways than music and possessed an incredible sense of humor. My father names me John after John Lennon half because my grandfather was named John but because he loved Lennon and the month in Dec he found out he was killed by an assassin & was determined to name me after his hero seeing it as a sign.His treatment towards Julian is deplorable..Julian sounds 100% like John. Irony
Yes...I prefer people who sound similar to a somebody than never was who sounds like a nobody.You are correct. Genetics is a hell of a thing. Yoko was nothing but a wealthy rich girl devoid of talent. Luckily for her a modern rock star fell in love with her for unknown reasons but it does nothing to eliminate the truth that she was a talentless trust fund baby.
I have read over 20 books on the Beatles and Lennon. It is called history...I have watched the interviews with Sean and how John called "Sean was the result of a night of Whiskey drinking" ...I know them more than yourself evidently. She is a piece of garbage and always will be.
History is pertinent..genetic history is pertinent...ideas are more important that genetics and voice and all I am saying is that Julian let a life more paralleled to his father than Sean did since Julian grew up without his father present.
I ate dinner with my father once in a obscure Bar in Soho and I was raised a Beatlemaniac because of my Lennon obsessed father. Our greatest memories were of listening to the Beatles and conversing on music and John & Paul. So to our surprise Sean and his GF come into Fanelli Cafe at 11pm and sit next to us and me and my father are shocked and all I could think of was how Julian who looks, speaks, sounds and sings exactly like his father was discarded by John because of Yoko. She was a wedge
@Prelestnost2 I think you are mistaken; here is the full quote:
"So ninety percent of us- that includes everybody- were accidents. I dunno anybody who was a planned child. All of us were sat nite. Julian is in the majority, along with me. Sean is a planned child, and therein lies the difference. I don't love Julian any less as a child. He's still my son, whether he came from a bottle of whiskey or not. He's here, he belongs to me, and he always will." -John
@esofied That actually makes John a hypocrite. "I don't love Julian any less as a child.... He's here, he belongs to me, and he always will" He didn't give a shit about Julian. He would tell him straight to his face that he was a mistake. John never practiced what he preached so that's one of the reasons why I have no respect for him.
Julian makes such a good point. He should never have bought anything that belonged to John. Yoko was in the wrong when she did that & Paul is a father figure to Julian which is so amazing to hear as I always though Paul & George were the most affectionate
that woman interveiwer is a puke, yoko was free to do as she seen fit, why did julian need to buy any of his father stuff, was it a investment for him, was it not good enough for him to be a son of one the worlds best knowen men. he has very very little of his fathers loving open mind.
Stop comparing Julian to his father. I love Julian's music and I think he is a wonderful musician, unlike some other artists I know... He was bitter about his father at a time, but can you really blame him? Because John was famous, rich, and couldn't even give his son the time/money he needed? Well, I suppose you can thank Yoko Ono for most of that. But Julian's past that now. He stands for his own causes and he's wealthy and successful in his right (no pun intended). I wish him all happiness.

He could've gotten on a plane to London and go see his son if he wanted to but he was under Yoko's thumb. And it's still doesn't make it right that John treated Sean better than Julian.

@theredandbluealbums I half agree. Yes, John missed a lot when he was a Beatle. But according to Cyn, he was actually rather a decent husband and father. I think when he got heavily into drugs, his personality kind of changed a bit. It's been implied many times by even John himself that he was very insecure and troubled due to his terrible childhood. Taking drugs may have helped him cope with his pain but not for long.

@Gabreya Wait a minute, in most interviews, she stated that he was not much of a decent husband. Sure he provided but he was abusive due to his inner inability to express vulnerability. The drugs merely numbed the pain temporarily but it really did vanish when he found real love in Yoko. The discussion we engaged in was originally the point that slamming Yoko as manipulative really doesn't seem that accurate to me. Then again we weren't even there. We don't know everything that happened.
theredandbluealbums 1 month ago
@theredandbluealbums Yes he did. But it was emotionally. Again, it was brought on by his horrible childhood and possible emotional problems. He didn't know how to express his emotions right, except in his music. Also, I STRONGLY DISAGREE that he found real love in Yoko. Maybe it was love at first but as time went by, it was more unrequited love on John's part. As you said, we weren't there. Only the people closest to them have said.
Gabreya 1 month ago
@theredandbluealbums I believe he loved Julian but he just didn't really know how to express it to him. He wasn't taught how to be a good parent because his father abandoned him, his mother couldn't take care of him even though she seemed to love him, and his aunt was overbearing & strict towards him. Even his mother dying so tragically sudden really affected him for the rest of his life. He never really had a good mother figure in his life and he found that in Yoko.

@theredandbluealbums Yoko, in the beginning, gave him that sense of 'security', 'nurturing', and 'codling'. But soon, that turned sour when she played with his insecurities and manipulated him into thinking that she's the most important thing in his life. Her influence caused him to not have much contact with many of his family members, Julian being one of the main ones, and his friends.
Gabreya 1 month ago
@Gabreya Yeah, but you can't say she manipulated him into worshipping her. After all that was completely mutual. When they had the Lost Weekend, she stated she would be shaking without him. You can't call that bullshit. They were inseparable. She didn't make him insecure until he realised how much he needed her. He began the separation by cheating on her. He had complete freedom to contact Julian. And he called Aunt Mimi every week until his death so i don't think she isolated him from family.
theredandbluealbums 1 month ago
@theredandbluealbums Is that so? She threatened to commit suicide years earlier when he wanted to go visit Julian in London! When he wanted visit his own son! That's just insane! Then, when Sean was born, he went into the 'household husband' situation and was raising his 2nd child. But all wasn't right. When he wanted to have contact with Julian, the phone calls were tapped by Yoko so the service couldn't get through! Who does that shit?
Gabreya 1 month ago
@theredandbluealbums He called Aunt Mimi sometime before he was killed and told her that he was moving back to Europe & taking Sean with him. He even said that he and Yoko were seperating and he wanted Sean to be raised around a better environment, and possibly wanting to see Julian again. He written a LONG LETTER to Julian before he died and it took Julian so many years to find his letter because guess what. Yoko wouldn't give him the letter that was suppose to go to HIM. Now THAT'S bullshit.
Gabreya 1 month ago
@Gabreya Yeah, but when he was a Beatle he wanted nothing to do with both Julian and Cynthia. He wrote a letter to Cynthia stating how he had been a right bastard to the both of them only after Yoko helped him find himself. He then made the effort to form a connection with him. And if he hadn't died by now all would be resolved in it's own way.
But all i meant from this is don't blame Yoko for being John's soulmate. She didn't break up the band or ruin Julian's life any more than it was.
theredandbluealbums 1 month ago
@theredandbluealbums You know what? To hell with it. We could go on and on about this. You can believe what you want to believe and vice versa. Ultimately though, John should've been a better father to Julian and shouldn't have neglected. I'm glad that Juls turned out to be a wonderful, personable man who'd forgiven his father. I also commend him for forgiving Yoko for the crap she's done to him. Cynthia did a beauitful job raising him.

I love The Beatles, but I never thought of any of them being without flaws. Overall John was a crappy father to Julian, I know they loved each other but that's no excuse for John treating Julian the way he did and favoring his other children over his firstborn. People are always quick to blame Yoko, but John's relationship with his son was messed up long before she was in the picture.

@nintendy Yoko is a selfish, manipulative woman who prevented John from having a strong, solid relationship with his FIRST son Julian. She never gave Julian, his mother Cynthia or any of John's English family any of John's money or possessions after he died. Straight after John's Aunt Mim died, Yoko sold Mimi's house and kept all the money to herself. She acts as though she was John's only love when if fact she wasn't. Her 'art' is laughable. She has brainwashed you into thinking she is a saint.

@nintendy I have seen that video, that video happened just at the end of last year. And it did not look like they were old friends catching up. It only happened so John's image of 'peace' wouldn't be ruined. That's all. You can't erase history: the proof is there. Yoko is an evil woman who prevented a father-son bond, completely pushed Julian out of John's life, never gave Julian any of what was originally his, but instead SELLING it to the public just so she could have all the money.

@choobuka But think of how upset/angry even you feel! If even you feel like that, then I'm pretty sure that Cynthia (if all were true) would be feeling far worse and so would have been unable to meet up and kiss someone who'd treated her that way... Also; you undermine John Lennon (and the Beatles) if you really believe that a little tiny woman could have so much input... Doesn't say much about your opinion of those whom you try to defend... Yoko is an amazing, generous and 'special' lady!

@choobuka "Julian was born out of a bottle of whisky on a Saturday night" was said by John in a Playboy interview in 1980. That quote alone made my respect for John as a human being completely disappear. It was such an inhumane thing to say. I don't care how much love he showed towards Yoko and Sean, just the fact that John had the NERVE to say such a disgusting thing about his other SON at the same time is beyond me. It makes my blood boil. " It's disturbing to say the least.

@themusica95 People have to understand when people get 're-married', former lives (however unfair that may be) take a back seat. My father's been married twice and so I know - it's the way - pointless criticising or hating someone for it. If reversed, then John would have felt left out too - you can be sure of that. It's the way it is - sadly... Julian has at least some compensation for having such an amazing step mother in Yoko Ono! She's still with us and still doing amazing things!

You are correct. I grew up considering John Lennon a hero of mine and he still is. He was a genius in more ways than music and possessed an incredible sense of humor. My father names me John after John Lennon half because my grandfather was named John but because he loved Lennon and the month in Dec he found out he was killed by an assassin & was determined to name me after his hero seeing it as a sign.His treatment towards Julian is deplorable..Julian sounds 100% like John.

I ate dinner with my father once in a obscure Bar in Soho and I was raised a Beatlemaniac because of my Lennon obsessed father. Our greatest memories were of listening to the Beatles and conversing on music and John & Paul. So to our surprise Sean and his GF come into Fanelli Cafe at 11pm and sit next to us and me and my father are shocked and all I could think of was how Julian who looks, speaks, sounds and sings exactly like his father was discarded by John because of Yoko. She was a wedge

@Prelestnost2 I think you are mistaken; here is the full quote:
"So ninety percent of us- that includes everybody- were accidents. I dunno anybody who was a planned child. All of us were sat nite. Julian is in the majority, along with me. Sean is a planned child, and therein lies the difference. I don't love Julian any less as a child. He's still my son, whether he came from a bottle of whiskey or not. He's here, he belongs to me, and he always will." -John

@esofied Thanks for posting that - it's much clearer than what @choobuka had to say. how snippets can be manipulated into hateful messages.

@esofied That actually makes John a hypocrite. "I don't love Julian any less as a child.... He's here, he belongs to me, and he always will" He didn't give a shit about Julian. He would tell him straight to his face that he was a mistake. John never practiced what he preached so that's one of the reasons why I have no respect for him.

Julian makes such a good point. He should never have bought anything that belonged to John. Yoko was in the wrong when she did that & Paul is a father figure to Julian which is so amazing to hear as I always though Paul & George were the most affectionate

that woman interveiwer is a puke, yoko was free to do as she seen fit, why did julian need to buy any of his father stuff, was it a investment for him, was it not good enough for him to be a son of one the worlds best knowen men. he has very very little of his fathers loving open mind.
