@NeilFraudstrong I believe it was written in a book. John Lennon: The Life? Or something of the sort. I didn't read the entire book, but a section was posted up that claimed that Sean had said in an interview that his father has caused hearing loss in one ear by yelling loudly. I don't know if this is true, but I suppose we'll have to see.
Wow, this picture is kinda spooky. Julian looks kind of like how his father did just before he died, while Sean looks like him from the White album days. Good picture of the two of them.
I do wish Sean the best as no bad deeds but his father and Yoko moved into the home and Cynthia came home to this!! Sorry but bad taste and really disgusting show of humanity by John and Yoko!! Have no decency John and Yoko???????????????
Sweet how those two get on, but Julian and Sean fans are like oil and water. Drop the hate. Both inherited their father's talent for music. One may make better music, depending on your personal taste. Just leave it at that! Different strokes for different folks.
I'm inclined to think neither brother would appreciate the hateful words said about the other, even if their fan did it for their sake, ya know? Spread the love and celebrate the fact that these two became close despite family troubles.
I just wish these two can be mentioned in the same video, comment, forum whatever without fans attacking one or the other (though Sean normally gets the bulk of the hate...but it's not his fault John was finally mature enough to settle down and be a dad when he was born. Sean couldn't help what happened to Julian and I think at least Julian understands that. Some fans don't seem to.)
Anywhose, thanks for the upload! Haha, sorry for the rant there.
I say this all the time, but it's well known that I strongly dislike Yoko Ono. Strongly is putting it mildly. But my point is that you should not blame the kids for the mistakes of their parents. I mean, I cannot stand Yoko Ono at all, but is that Sean's fault? He can't help that she popped him out. The kids are the innocent parties in this whole ordeal. It's not right to hold the fault of their parents against them.
@NeilFraudstrong basura. just for the record, when john was alive, yoko deferred to him in dealing with his son. after john's death, yoko gave him plenty of money. he blew it on drugs until she threatened to cut him off. sorry to burst ur little Yoko hate-fest, but THAT'S THE TRUTH.
@MrCorndogEater Oh no! That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying to everyone who hates Sean because of what happened Julian, stop blaming Sean for what JOHN did to Julian. Blame John! Not Sean. He couldn't help his father's actions...he wasn't even born yet! Ha.
@HickeryHickery It's sad to realise how very different John and George were, in terms of parenting skills. Polar opposites. I feel really bad for Julian and Sean.
@nncgragnano I'm sure John wouldn't be very happy with your comment if he was still alive. His death shocked her to the core and you wouldn't even understand.
@divinegod102 Well, my comment was based only on what was said of her, I mean, Yoko, and how she tried to avoid a closer contact between John and his first son, Julian. I really hope it wasn't true, but that's what media used to say about that.

@sliat1981 Only because his mama made it so. She is the one behind the grown-out hair, the glasses, etc. Julian on the other hand is the living image of JL, without the glasses, without the hair. And Julian is the better artist.
@sliat1981 Only because his mama made sure of it. I have no doubt she's behind the glasses and the grown out hair. Julian, on the other hand, doesn't need the props to look like his daddy.
@Augustbeauty69 Looks an awful lot like John, period.Even as a short haired kid with no glasses.If you put long hair and glasses on me I wouldn't look anything like John Lennon.Look at his eyes, nose, chin, and the rest of his face. He looks like his mother too, but he looks like his father very very much. He wears glasses because of his eyesight, not as a prop. He occasionally had the frames like John's, but who cares? He loves who his father is. If he wants to wear them, let him be.
@PullSomeTuber He should look like John, Sean's his kid. My point is simply that, without the glasses and the hair, Julian still looks more like John than Sean, who did not have this look fifteen years ago. It's not a big deal, it's just my opinion.
0:32 "no that's mine" 'that's my side of the room" That reminds me so much of the scene in Saturday Night Fever" at the end when Stephanie and Tony are sitting in the car talking about how the guy in the apartment helped her at the office and she goes "I don't know" "I don't know" It's in the same voice.
There is a new project at Kickstarter(dot)com for the film "The Beatles at their Best". It focuses on the time before Ringo joined. According to John Lennon, this is when the Beatles were at their best. There is also a trailer on YouTube.
Put it this way -- if George couldn't say much nice about her, and Paul has to really bite his tongue to try to say something nice, and Julian absolutely loathes her, that's pretty solid proof that she can't be that great. I respect her for being the love of John's life, but that's the side of John I don't really relate to, that I think was damaged from a horrible childhood and I can't really understand.
Sean is saying: Thanks for neglect "bro"! Neglect is the best for kids! Being neglected is the source of my energy. Nothing is better than being neglected and ignored by your older brother.
Sean you are a mangina like your older brother now, congratz!
Life is what happens while we are making other plans... John was a Beatle! Allowed almost no free time.. His time was devoted to making "The Machine" rich... It's easy to talk bad about people you know nothing about.. Do you think John never loved Julian? I'm certain he did... We all have times in our lives we'd like to be able to go back and fix.. I bet he never thought on Dec 8, 1980 at 40 years old that he would not have time to repair that relationship..
An interesting quote from an interview with Julian:
"You cannot just discard people because you can't face up to them. You cannot say: 'Here's my new life. I'm older, I understand more, I'll make it better now.' It doesn't work that way."
MARK WAS FOR THE FACIST COMMUNIST THINKING MUSIC HATERS ???

@WanagiAkicita I'd say few people know the name of the song without looking it up, or something--even when I had the album Valotte back in middle school, most other kids in school didn't seem to know what the hail I was talking about when I mentioned the title track! lol.
(...hee. I sawr Julian on both of his US tours back in the mid-eighties... LeSigh: =).)
@lennonlover2015 I like Sean, I respect his efforts. His youtube channel was the first or second one I subscribed to, when I first came on here, back in 08. I was alluding to the fact that him not knowing the name of the song shows that Sean and Jullian were not close at the time this was recorded. I'm Julian's age. We expected him to be the second coming. He gave us two or three songs that could've gone on Double Fantasy without anyone knowing it wasn't John. Thanks, but is that all we get?
@lennonlover2015 Have you read May Pang's book "Loving John"? It's the best insider account of John I know of. She met the Beatles when, as one of Alan Klein's secretaries, she became involved with the legal dissolution of Apple. For reasons described in the book, she and John got closer and closer to the point that there's a real possibilty she might've ended up with John, if he hadn't died. Bowie and Jagger are also in the book. Bowie is who she cried with. She was the whisperer in #9 Dream.
@WanagiAkicita Yep! That was it. The ONLY reason Julian originally got any recognition was because he was Lennon's son. Julian's certainly not a "musical prodigy" or even a well know writer/musician for that matter, except for his debut album "Valotte" (which went Platinum) & his hit single "Too Late For Goodbyes" which he DID write; and if you read the lyrics they're rather sophomoric. Otherwise his musical releases have been sub-par. Not trying to "SLAM" Jules; just sayin'....
Julian is naturally talented and classy, he doesn't try to be like his Father. Sean has no musical talent (although he thinks he does) is an ass and tries to be like his Father constantly.
@mrceebees14 Think ya got it backwards. Julian's one and ONLY successful album sounded just like his Dad! Sean does nothing to sound like his father; have you even listened to his music lately? Sean, doesn't "try to sound like John" , unlike Julian on his first album. Neither have the talent of their father, though...
@mrceebees14 No, you said: "Julian is naturally talented and classy, he doesn't try to be like his Father. Sean has no musical talent (although he thinks he does) is an ass and tries to be like his Father constantly." I was disagreeing with that comment. Julian's ONLY successful release was Valotte (Platinum) and his hit single, It's Much Too Late To Say Goodbye, which sounded EXACTLY like his father. Everything else he's tried musically has been sub-par. Why the all hate on Sean?
@Revolution1117 Because Sean sounds very pretentious and stuck up in his interviews. Even though Julian never had a father growing up, he is the most down to earth, laid back and kindest of him and Sean. Pretty ironic.
@choobuka Of course, I don't know either of them personally, but I will tend to agree with you re: Sean's interviews, in some respect. I do feel Julian still seems to have some unresolved resentment issues re: his father; much like his John did with his childhood. Hopefully in time, Julian will be able to forgive his father for his actions and move on. I know from my own personal experience with MY father; that continuing to harbor resentment(s) only keeps me "crippled inside". Peace.
@Revolution1117 By the sounds of it just going by interviews, it seems as though Sean's the one with the unresolved daddy issues, not Julian. Julian sounds very down to earth and has his head on right. I couldn't say that about Sean.
@mrceebees14 Sean's only issue is that he was born to a very famous father. Also, for more insight on Julian & Sean; Google: BBC News Living with Lennon's legacy. Also, Wiki Cynthia Lennon; as she had big "issues herself. Sean supposedly once said: "I think of my dad as a huge asshole. The only thing that made it okay was that he could admit it." Jules posted his own musings about his father's inadequacies on his website. Jules & Cyn sued/won for $20mil from John's estate in 1996.
Look up to your older brother mate and grow up to be a successful narcissist like the rest of the family! (Spending time with your younger siblings is for people who don't get anywhere in life)
Just think... what kind of online "representative" does Lennon deserve? He deserves someone who can put out a record of what went on without slipping into the anti Yoko hysteria or bland hagiography of the Imagine documentary.
Irrespective of petty internet arguments, I thank you for running this channel and wish you all the best. :)
I think people are lame to be arguing over the loves of Paul and John's lives. For one it's in line with anything either of them stood or stand for. I feel that if John loved her so much as he did she can't be all that bad. I'm tired of people hating on Yoko especially when claiming to be fans of John or The Beatles......what was John best known for? Oh yeah this whole thing with wanting world PEACE, yet his fans can't even let it go about Yoko.
@MyFlipperLikesIce I'm a real John Lennon and Beatles fan, that doesn't mean I know every single little fact and detail about every aspect of their lives. It means I truly love their music and the feeling you get when you hear it and what John stood for, a world with nothing to steal or die for, a world filled with Peace. The only way to get there is to start with yourself!!! Be kinder to your neighbor, open the door for strangers, smile at random people when you give a smile you usually get one
@choobuka To explain ALL of THAT; I would be writing a novel! I am 12 years younger than John and Ringo.
Face it, as a fan you read everything and can tell by looking at people, how things are. Children are not stupid as everyone WANTS to think! John felt he was forced to marry Cyn. Poor Cyn, had to hide her pregnancy and marriage as gay B. Epstein, wanted it that way; claiming the groups marketability. That was the first BLOW to their marriage. He ignored Julian as unwanted!
@molarmama5 Just because John and Cynthia were having troubles in their marriage doesn't mean that John should go and completely forget about Julian (which he did). What John did to Julian was beyond inexcusable.
@choobuka True. Yoko certainly wasn't nice to Cythia back then, and although John and Yoko did have "jules" over, it wasn't like she was a "loving step-mother". Even John had a hard time relating to Julian, as he really never got to know him, which he had said later he had regretted. I think that's why he made such an effort to be a "househusband" and father to Sean; to help himself deal with the mistakes he made with Julian. Fortunately, he & Jules had a decent relationship before his death.
@Revolution1117 If Beatlemania was one of the main factors that prevented John and Julian having a relationship (as everyone seems to assume), then why didn't John become a 'househusband' to Julian after the Beatles broke up in 1970? It wasn't as if he had a wizz-bang solo career. He had plenty of opportunities to reconcile with Julian way before 1979 or whenever it was but he didn't. That's why I will always picture John as a lousy father.
@choobuka He was a terrible father as you had noted above. Julian was not a disposable "thing", because Yoko wanted it that way. His househusband days were heavily influenced by Yoko and heroin.
@choobuka I agree that John was a lousy father to Julian though they did try to have a relationship a few years before his death. John was a VERY conflicted individual, and I think John finally "grew-up" with the birth of Sean on 9 October 1975 & shed most his demons. John & Cyn were married on 23 August 1962; Jules was born 8 May 1963, and divorced 22 August 1968. Jules was 5yrs old at the time & Cyn won custody. It's a shame that John didn't get his act together for Jules earlier.
@choobuka I agree. At one time Cynthia had to sell some of her Beatles memorabilia for financial reasons. Why can't Yoko fork over some of John's millions to Cynthia & Julian? I've also heard that Julian really wanted 1 or 2 of his Dad's guitars and Yoko won't give him one. Is what I've heard rumors? I know John wouldn't want Cynthia or Julian to suffer to make ends meet. He would help them with money for rent and food.
@LamChop99 I've never heard of Cynthia selling any Bealtes memorabilia, I will go look that up. The reason why Yoko didn't/isn't giving anything to Cynthia and Julian is because she is a mean, controlling and selfish woman. A narcissist. She only thinks about herself. Heck, the only reason why she goes on and on about John is just to keep HERSELF relevant! Yoko even prevented John from having a relationship with Julian. She is a horrible woman and I will never understand why people like her.
@choobuka - I once went into an art gallery in London where Yoko Ono sold prints of Lennon's artwork signed by herself for about £2500 a pop. She also allowed a John Lennon ice cream to be sold called "imagine whirled peace" and recently sold his image to be used to advertise cars on British TV. She seems to have little or no respect for his legacy.
There are so many tragic stories in John's life, all (I think) because of the unstable home life he had with his parents. He was never taught how to love or respect anybody. Cynthia truly loved him; Yoko only wanted him at first, then grew to love him too. She's not really a bad person, she's just an agressive personality, while Cynthia was more passive, as I myself am. I wish them all well, as they all now seem happy, especially Cyn. The best of luck to them all.
@NeilFraudstrong She's the person who knew him best. She didn't chase him or inject herself into his career any more or less than Linda Eastman did Paul McCartney, but you don't gripe about the latter.
Yoko also is not a manipulative bitch. She has her own opinion and philosophy, which can give a strong affect on others. That is something different from manipulation. You try to call Yoko a bitch and that can be manipulative. ))) John is a grown-up man and you can belive that he makes his own decision, if you truly respect John. Then I can say that I see no hypocrisy.
Don't forget that John thought Double Fantasy was going to be just him and not Yoko until like ten days before the sessions started. She waited until the last possible minute to spring that on John and John was enraged, but followed through with it anyway.
I'm sure we've had daft "words" at some point in the comments section on other videos you've posted, but I thank you anyway for the great things you've brought out of the message board/torrent community & made more widely available to the folks on YouTube.
But you must understand that irrespective of the couple of times you've spoken to Seaman on the web you didn't know these people
& cannot make assumptions about their personal lives! Look at these statements about "wearing Lennon down" about appearing on Double Fantasy with him... who cares? Yoko's songs on that album are actually pretty good. They're not mawkish or sentimental like Lennon's, and fuck it, I defy anyone who loves exciting music to not think that Walking On Thin Ice wasn't their greatest recording during "the comeback."
Please stop the incessant "I'm in on a great secret that you aren't" comments and just enjoy spreading this stuff to the wider community. I'm not telling you not to have your viewpoint, just to pull back on the presumptious comments whilst still posting the great material.
I've spoken to Fred more than "just a few times". I don't know any other way to say that I know what I'm talking about without saying that I have the endorsement of people who really knew John. I don't do it to brag, I'm not overstating anything, the truth is the truth. If you don't believe that, I don't know what else I can do for you. Now who's being presumptuous?
@skudaarkaat1. I think it may be a bit absurd that people who never knew John or Yoko or Cynthia could feel justified in stating an opinion about how their relationships worked. I'm sure, that as in most relationships, one partner influenced the other. But I believe that John Lennon was his own man. If he wasn't, then he and Yoko cultivated an emaculate facade of cooperation and understanding. The Beatles broke up because they needed to. Not Yoko's fault.
@skudaarkaat1 Great post; I think you hit the nail on the head! I agree that the "conflicted" John Lennon WAS due to his very sad upbringing as a child and through his adolescence. Even though his Mum, Julia, gave him up to his Aunt Mimi & Uncle George Smith, because she couldn't take care of him, I think the death of his Mum by a drunk driver when he was 17yrs old, REALLY had an effect on him. Just listen to the lyrics of John's song "Julia" and you can feel his pain. Thanks for your insight!
@choobuka You are also planting your own karmic seeds, as Yoko did, as we all do. I do not presume to know the inner machinations of the John/Yoko/Julian/Sean/Beatles story. Only those intimately involved knew what was what. John's song, "Instant Karma," applies to ALL of us. We must always guard the three doors by controlling what we think, say and do. Do not waste your energy pointing fingers. Instead, focus on being kind, compassionate and loving while this lifetime affords you the time.
@choobuka Did you say the same thing about Linda McCartney? You know, the woman who made sure to squat down in a mini-skirt when taking pictures of Paul McCartney the first time, so he could see up her skirt? The woman who was known more for being a groupie than a photographer? The one who tried to force her Dad on all the Beatles as their manager?
You're not worried about her karma, even though she was even more conniving and manipulative and trashy than Yoko, even.
For the record, my eyesight sucks and I did not see that justgivemethetruth included John's name in their rant. I do not endorse that. The stuff about Yoko is fair game though.

Sean will get the Beatle money most likely, and Julian got shit, as he said to Leno.
But maybe once Yoke-blow dies Sean will do the right thing and split it with him.
But as Leno said to Julian, "you got the good stuff, the talent, from your dad."

I respect her for being the love of John's life, but that's the side of John I don't really relate to, that I think was damaged from a horrible childhood and I can't really understand.

Life is what happens while we are making other plans... John was a Beatle! Allowed almost no free time.. His time was devoted to making "The Machine" rich... It's easy to talk bad about people you know nothing about.. Do you think John never loved Julian? I'm certain he did... We all have times in our lives we'd like to be able to go back and fix.. I bet he never thought on Dec 8, 1980 at 40 years old that he would not have time to repair that relationship..

I was alluding to the fact that him not knowing the name of the song shows that Sean and Jullian were not close at the time this was recorded. I'm Julian's age. We expected him to be the second coming. He gave us two or three songs that could've gone on Double Fantasy without anyone knowing it wasn't John. Thanks, but is that all we get?

@lennonlover2015 Have you read May Pang's book "Loving John"? It's the best insider account of John I know of. She met the Beatles when, as one of Alan Klein's secretaries, she became involved with the legal dissolution of Apple. For reasons described in the book, she and John got closer and closer to the point that there's a real possibilty she might've ended up with John, if he hadn't died. Bowie and Jagger are also in the book. Bowie is who she cried with. She was the whisperer in #9 Dream.

@WanagiAkicita Yep! That was it. The ONLY reason Julian originally got any recognition was because he was Lennon's son. Julian's certainly not a "musical prodigy" or even a well know writer/musician for that matter, except for his debut album "Valotte" (which went Platinum) & his hit single "Too Late For Goodbyes" which he DID write; and if you read the lyrics they're rather sophomoric. Otherwise his musical releases have been sub-par. Not trying to "SLAM" Jules; just sayin'....

Julian's ONLY successful release was Valotte (Platinum) and his hit single, It's Much Too Late To Say Goodbye, which sounded EXACTLY like his father. Everything else he's tried musically has been sub-par. Why the all hate on Sean?
Revolution1117 3 months ago
@Revolution1117 Because Sean sounds very pretentious and stuck up in his interviews. Even though Julian never had a father growing up, he is the most down to earth, laid back and kindest of him and Sean. Pretty ironic.

@choobuka Of course, I don't know either of them personally, but I will tend to agree with you re: Sean's interviews, in some respect. I do feel Julian still seems to have some unresolved resentment issues re: his father; much like his John did with his childhood. Hopefully in time, Julian will be able to forgive his father for his actions and move on. I know from my own personal experience with MY father; that continuing to harbor resentment(s) only keeps me "crippled inside". Peace.

@mrceebees14 Sean's only issue is that he was born to a very famous father. Also, for more insight on Julian & Sean; Google: BBC News Living with Lennon's legacy. Also, Wiki Cynthia Lennon; as she had big "issues herself. Sean supposedly once said: "I think of my dad as a huge asshole. The only thing that made it okay was that he could admit it." Jules posted his own musings about his father's inadequacies on his website. Jules & Cyn sued/won for $20mil from John's estate in 1996.

Face it, as a fan you read everything and can tell by looking at people, how things are. Children are not stupid as everyone WANTS to think! John felt he was forced to marry Cyn. Poor Cyn, had to hide her pregnancy and marriage as gay B. Epstein, wanted it that way; claiming the groups marketability. That was the first BLOW to their marriage. He ignored Julian as unwanted!

@molarmama5 Just because John and Cynthia were having troubles in their marriage doesn't mean that John should go and completely forget about Julian (which he did). What John did to Julian was beyond inexcusable.
choobuka 3 months ago
@choobuka True. Yoko certainly wasn't nice to Cythia back then, and although John and Yoko did have "jules" over, it wasn't like she was a "loving step-mother". Even John had a hard time relating to Julian, as he really never got to know him, which he had said later he had regretted. I think that's why he made such an effort to be a "househusband" and father to Sean; to help himself deal with the mistakes he made with Julian. Fortunately, he & Jules had a decent relationship before his death.
Revolution1117 3 months ago
@Revolution1117 If Beatlemania was one of the main factors that prevented John and Julian having a relationship (as everyone seems to assume), then why didn't John become a 'househusband' to Julian after the Beatles broke up in 1970? It wasn't as if he had a wizz-bang solo career. He had plenty of opportunities to reconcile with Julian way before 1979 or whenever it was but he didn't. That's why I will always picture John as a lousy father.
choobuka 3 months ago
@choobuka He was a terrible father as you had noted above. Julian was not a disposable "thing", because Yoko wanted it that way. His househusband days were heavily influenced by Yoko and heroin.

@choobuka I agree that John was a lousy father to Julian though they did try to have a relationship a few years before his death. John was a VERY conflicted individual, and I think John finally "grew-up" with the birth of Sean on 9 October 1975 & shed most his demons. John & Cyn were married on 23 August 1962; Jules was born 8 May 1963, and divorced 22 August 1968. Jules was 5yrs old at the time & Cyn won custody. It's a shame that John didn't get his act together for Jules earlier.
Revolution1117 3 months ago
@choobuka I agree. At one time Cynthia had to sell some of her Beatles memorabilia for financial reasons. Why can't Yoko fork over some of John's millions to Cynthia & Julian? I've also heard that Julian really wanted 1 or 2 of his Dad's guitars and Yoko won't give him one. Is what I've heard rumors? I know John wouldn't want Cynthia or Julian to suffer to make ends meet. He would help them with money for rent and food.

Heck, the only reason why she goes on and on about John is just to keep HERSELF relevant! Yoko even prevented John from having a relationship with Julian. She is a horrible woman and I will never understand why people like her.

@choobuka - I once went into an art gallery in London where Yoko Ono sold prints of Lennon's artwork signed by herself for about £2500 a pop. She also allowed a John Lennon ice cream to be sold called "imagine whirled peace" and recently sold his image to be used to advertise cars on British TV. She seems to have little or no respect for his legacy.

There are so many tragic stories in John's life, all (I think) because of the unstable home life he had with his parents. He was never taught how to love or respect anybody. Cynthia truly loved him; Yoko only wanted him at first, then grew to love him too. She's not really a bad person, she's just an agressive personality, while Cynthia was more passive, as I myself am. I wish them all well, as they all now seem happy, especially Cyn. The best of luck to them all.

@skudaarkaat1. I think it may be a bit absurd that people who never knew John or Yoko or Cynthia could feel justified in stating an opinion about how their relationships worked. I'm sure, that as in most relationships, one partner influenced the other. But I believe that John Lennon was his own man. If he wasn't, then he and Yoko cultivated an emaculate facade of cooperation and understanding. The Beatles broke up because they needed to. Not Yoko's fault.

@skudaarkaat1 Great post; I think you hit the nail on the head! I agree that the "conflicted" John Lennon WAS due to his very sad upbringing as a child and through his adolescence. Even though his Mum, Julia, gave him up to his Aunt Mimi & Uncle George Smith, because she couldn't take care of him, I think the death of his Mum by a drunk driver when he was 17yrs old, REALLY had an effect on him. Just listen to the lyrics of John's song "Julia" and you can feel his pain. Thanks for your insight!
