    So much nicer than his father,. He has an emotional intelligence that John lacked. I love that he has found himself. I can't imagine how hard it was for him to carry the mantle of Julian, son of John. How could he do anything with his life with that association? It weighed very heavily on him for many years. He seems happy with it now, he has found his happy place and as a Beatle fan, I am truly happy for him too.

    Julian may be one of the most grounded and well-adjusted people of any child of any superstar. He's not a drug head, alcoholic, out of control imbecile. You don't hear or read bad stories about him. I credit that to Cynthia. She pretty much raised him herself under the most daunting circumstances, and he was always respectful to her and cared for her as should anyone with their Mom.
    It had to be a heavy load being the son of one of the most loved stars of all time and the namesake of one of the most beloved songs in rock history.

      Julian said he feels whole now. He has made peace within himself. Some people do find peace with such things. We can't change what happened, but we can change where that memory fits in our life. We can gain the broader understanding as an adult, that was not comprehendable as a child. We can fill the gaps that were left from childhood with self nurturing. When we learn who we are, separate from the false messages we were given, or interpreted, as children, we can learn to give ourselves emotionally what we need. Then the people who failed to meet those needs fade in power and consequence in the quality of our lives. The blackhole emptiness of lonely abandonment, sucking our energy, loses its power. The ache and sensitive bruise sting when touched, fades with this healing. Those memories fit differently, in a bigger weaving of life experiences, and people met, far beyond our childhood imagination.

    I really admire Julian Lennon. He appears to be a very thoughtful, compassionate and grounded human being.
    He has been treated badly over the years by the media and music industry. It must have been difficult living in his father's shadow, while carving out his own career and life. His father's second wife has a lot to answer for, by keeping Julian apart from his father's legacy.
    Julian Lennon is a talented, visionary sincere person who deserved better from his father, the industry and the pernicious media.
    I hope he has found peace.

      We don't know the whole story. Deserved better from his father? It's a myth that his father was a terrible dad. I've seen hundreds of photos of John with Julian, including some with both of them in America including Yoko. John took him to the set of 'Happy Days', let Julian play drums on the 'Walls and Bridges' album, said 'hi Julian' in the 'Stand By Me' video, so he missed him alright. It didn't help that John was divorced from his first wife, so naturally you can't spend all your time with your son and being in another country didn't help either, especially with the immigration battles, but the bullshit that's evolved over time that John Lennon was a terrible dad is getting ridiculous ,..sure he wasn't perfect, few dads are, but Julian has done okay.

    As a child, I absolutely loved "Too Late for Goodbyes" & "Valotte." Actually now in my 40's, I still play them frequently.
    My Mom was a Beatles fan & though I often heard them back then when she played the oldies station, I didn't realize the connection at the time... but I knew she adored Julian as well. It wasn't until my senior year of high school when "The Beatles Anthology" aired that I became a huge fan myself & finally realized the connection. I finally saw the strong resemblance, but even as a child always could tell Julian's sound was very distinct.
    As an adult... who also had her spouse walk out on her & their very young son...so much of Cynthia & Julian's story brings me to tears & anger each time I hear because it is all too familiar. It made listening to my much loved "Fab 4" & John's solo song's almost impossible for quite a while. So I really respect how Julian is able to separate the man from the music/artist & still find that appreciation. I also really respect the person & mother Cynthia was. John may have left a huge musical legacy. However, in everything I have ever read & watched of Julian...including this interview...her legacy speaks VOLUMES in the wonderful man Julian appears to be. I was completely mesmerized by this interview & no doubt will be watching again & sharing. Thank you for posting this & thank you Julian for the music, the creativity & your heart for others.

      I've never understood Hey Jude and have never really been convinced that it was to comfort a seven year old boy. The lyrics seem far more to be about John and Yoko which is what John thought. I hate to think it but perhaps Paul was a bit intinimated by John - who expected everyone to be on his side after his horrible treatment of his family.

    Julian's new album "Jude" is so extraordinary. I love love love it. After this wonderful-really wonderful-interview, I listened to "Imagine", then "Saltwater" and was blown away by both. Then I listened to 7 sonds off the album in a row, and "Love Never Dies" twice- and I recently NEVER listen to that many songs all the way through, much less by a single artist. He has found his voice, he no longer sounds like Paul or John- he sounds like Julian. Really inspiring (as a sometimes songwriter-poet myself it gives me a real kick in the butt to get things out and try to share it- what elese can it be for???!).

When he sings it always sounds like he's singing to you personally. A hard thing to accomplish when recording any song. His fine arts photography is my favorite of his works.The White Feather Foundation will always be my go-to for donations and support. The donations go entirely to the causes you support.
