interview with Julian on his famous father.
~1999
If you liked this interview check out Cynthia Lennon's recent book, "John". I have so much respect for her and what happened. Julian wrote the foreward for the book. The book describes in detail what she and Julian went through. ..not very nice.
"Laurel and Hardy, that's John and Yoko. And we stand a better chance under that guise because all the serious people like Martin Luther King and Kennedy and Gandhi got shot." -- John Lennon
"Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident." -- John Lennon

@aerialkate 8 лет назад

+Jimmy C - Doesn't seem to work like that. If you've never been taught to be a parent, via a role model - then how do you know how to do it? John Lennon really had no frame of reference. His mother was in and out of his life - his Dad, absent. Having said that - some people with such childhoods manage to do it instinctively. Many don't though...

@herbertwells8757 8 лет назад

+aerialkate I think you've hit the nail on the head--and Julian here (at age thirty-six) is clearly afraid he'd be the same way. As it happened, now at age fifty-three he has still never married and has no children. While it's still biologically possible he might do this, statistically at this point the chances are vanishingly small. (Men do sometimes marry and father children later in life, but, statistically speaking, most of these men have been married before and have fathered children before.)

@aerialkate 8 лет назад

Herbert Wells Well....none that we know of! I think he was a bit of a party lad in his day. I've heard him say that about himself in a couple of interviews anyway; but he's kind of coy about it, didn't call himself a hellraiser or anything. Perhaps you're right though and he was subconsciously scared of screwing it up. Wasn't this a great interview though? So candid and kind of moving. Fascinating stuff.

I love John. This doesn’t change anything for me. I’ve seen tons of photos and videos of John with Julian all through Julian’s childhood. Seen Julian spending his 16th birthday with John, John buying Julian a nice dirt bike for his birthday. Seen photos of Julian with a baby Sean Lennon at the Dakota Apartments with Yoko and John there. So even though I can’t figure out what Julian’s talking about only seeing his father a handful of times in his childhood, I will always love John Lennon and his music.

@mysteriousmrocd8384 2 года назад

@@MeeMee-gz5vp Notice how you’ve just described events that happened when Sean was born. Meaning you’ve just proven Julian’s point that he only started seeing John again around 1975 on occasion when he was 12/13. You are disregarding the years of neglect that came before that. I love the man’s music but as a person, not so much.

@MeeMee-gz5vp 2 года назад

@@mysteriousmrocd8384 Julian is saying he didn’t see his father much at all during his childhood, which is a lie. That was the point I was making. And the times that I’ve mentioned may coincidentally pertain to after Sean was born, but that’s not the full list. There’s a video of John, Yoko and Julian (a happy Julian I might add) at John’s house going for a boat ride when John lived in England. What Julian is not being honest about is that he had a severe drug/alcohol addiction, and that’s why he wasn’t awarded a large sum of money from John’s estate. Sounds to me like someone was looking out for his best interest, knowing if Julian got his hands on a lot of money to burn, he probably would have overdosed or drank himself to death. Just my two cents.

It must suck to have everyone telling you how much they love your father when your father never loved you, so I can understand how he feels. That's too bad because he seems like a nice guy. It is ironic because John sang so much about love and yet he wasn't there to love his own son. Yoko also had a child that she didn't know growing up.

@joellebrodeur1015 5 лет назад

Yoko's ex husband kept her daughter, Kyoko, away from her. I feel she was being selfish. If she couldn't ever see her daughter, then John wouldn't have contact with Julian. What piece of shit human being would do such a thing? I will never respect her for what she did. As much as I love John and his music, I just want to scream at him for not growing a pair and be there for his son and telling Yoko to fuck off about it. I'm certain somewhere in the great beyond, John is sorry for being, in his words, a "thoughtless bastard". Their father/son story is truly tragic and heartbreaking and I have nothing but empathy for Julian.

@patrickcolon8809 6 лет назад

He abandoned Julian, which is nothing short of criminal. He treated his son like something that the cat dragged in, hence he was a piss-poor father, at best. He was an all-time great musician, and an extremely selfish and inconsiderate person. Cynthia was an adult, and she could fend for herself. Julian was a kid that needed his father (emotionally and financially) and he essentially got nothing from him, right up until the day that Lennon died when he left Julian with hardly a pittance of his overall estate. Finally, "Jealous Guy" was not written about Cynthia. The origins of the song were written while he was in India with Cynthia in early 1968 as "Child of Nature", but it was not written for Cynthia. In fact, when he rewrote the song and released it several years later in 1971, it was rewritten for Yoko, not Cynthia.

My boyfriend and I went to see Paul McCartney in concert about 10 years ago. A lifelong dream for me since "Band On The Run" came out when I was in 8th grade. McCartney told many stories about his songs, what influenced each one, who the song was really about, etc. When it came to "Hey Jude", Paul told us a story that had just about 30,000 people in tears. "Jude" was Paul's nickname for Julian. Then Paul began singing the song. Wow! The entire arena joined in, in unison. It was very moving as we all joined together for the love of Julian. McCartney is a deeply heartfelt man, a neat dude, a bitchen' dude, and a really funny dude. I already dug Julian. And for his unrelenting strength in having to be who he is, while the world adored his father. I was a child of divorce and it was painful, still is. But it wasn't under a microscope forever. Yikes, the shame, humiliation, sadness. It's amazing that Julian endured all of that. I'm stoked beyond comprehension!

Growing up I always adored the Beatles. Couldn't decide who I loved more Paul McCartney or John Lennon. It's hard to turn our backs on the idols and heroes of our youth. People can be so ignorant. I remember what it was like when John Lennon died. The public outpouring of grief. The last hope that you would ever see the Beatles together again one last time. When I read Cynthia Lennon's book about her beloved husband, I cried more than once. My illusions were all smashed. Julian is only human like the rest of us but I admire his strength. His mother must've been an amazing woman indeed to have done such a wonderful job, raising such a kind and thoughtful son. It's easy to sing songs about love and helping the world and a lot harder to actually get it done. Julians work with the White feather foundation has helped more people than his father ever did. I find the word "Imagine" is more suited to his persona. Keep up the awesome work Julian! I don't have to say RIP Christina, because I'm sure she is. God Bless

That's down to his Mum; Cynthia was never a confrontational or self-promoting person - a gentle and loving wife and mother who did her very best in exceptional and difficult circumstances. Julian was justifiably very close to her and it's easy to see why he dislikes Yoko so much - not only did she mess up his life but she helped to break his mother's heart and continued to make her life very unpleasant. There is nothing good to say about Yoko.

So much respect for Julian. I think he's done remarkably well considering he not only had a distant and disinterested father, who pointedly showed he preferred his younger half brother, but Julian has also had to grow up in his father's shadow. Being in the music business himself, this can't have been easy. Add to that, as he says here, people continually telling him how much they loved John....., poor guy.

@pokeythescowlingcat6221 8 лет назад

This is why I feel kind of uncomfortable being a John Lennon fan. I love his music and his quotes, but I can't deny that he did some horrible things. It became even more uncomfortable after I found out a friend of mine has an abusive father, and she's told me about the kind of affects that it's had on her life. If you were to look at John's interviews and listen to his music without knowing these things, you would never have thought.

@Eduardo G. You hit on the truth. On top of that, Yoko not only manipulated John, but she played on his insecurities hence why he couldn't be emotionally and mentally present. I've been a fan of Jules since age 8 when Valotte came out and for someone who has had his heart broken by his own dad, he really has dug deep to not let the bitterness break his spirit. He could have easily ended his own life from the being rejected and then losing John for good. That would have pushed anyone to the edge. I thank Cynthia for raising him to be strong, kind and compassionate. He always was as a young man and will always be because of her.

Yes well lots of people love you when you're a god that you can't possibly live up to, and then everyone pisses on you when they discover you're just human. Lennon didn't create the religion that wnt on around him. He DID bank on it, and use it to one ideological end or another, and I don't blame him for that one bit. Resources are rare, clout is rarest of all. But everyone shits on him while they're fucking up their own lives. It's fucked up. I'm not defending the fucked up things he did so much as admonishingthose who basically only hate on him because he was famous. SHIT tons of people are like JOhn Lennon. He just wasn't THAT special. They don't get shit on though. They certainly don't have entire GENERATIONS of people, who have absolutely nothing to do with what went on in the 60s 70s and 80s passing endless judgement on them. No one can perform under those circumstances, as an artist or as a human being. Not one of us measures up to the myth we forced on John Lennon and the rest of the beatles.

1 Pill555 Sean is SOOOO HAIRY nowadays! And still wearing the same granny glasses like John did. He always tries so hard to look and be like John, but he comes off just plain ugly. If he would get rid of the facial hair, he’d be more attractive IMO. In his younger years he looked like an “ Oriental John Lennon” (Yoko’s words, not mine - look up interviews done circa 1983-84). Could be again if he would SHAVE, possibly.✌️

@gallaghim 7 лет назад

I'm not sure why i am so drawn to this video. Watched it about five times. Maybe because it's so refreshing and moving to see such unfiltered honesty. Julian must have had to put up with some awful things in his life. Can you imagine that your dad is this extremely well loved & famous public figure yet not only is he on the other side of the Atlantic, but you barely know him 'and' you're having to put up with bullying & going everywhere knowing that people are looking at you saying to themselves 'oh my god, that's John Lennon's son'! The fact that he grew up to be a no-bullshit gentle person is a tribute to his mum and himself. I suspect that he had/has a certain amount of depression which likely kept him grounded too. Another reason i'm drawn to this video i think is i had a similar thing with my mum, emotional bullying and how it affects you into adult life. It hangs around like a bad smell. I met Julian a number of years ago when he did an in-store appearance thing for Photograph Smile and he was just a real person. No entourage, no faking anything, just no bullshit. I can't say that i am that familiar with his music but i'll always be a fan of the man.

Julian will never get over the scars of his childhood.He can forgive his father a million times and it will not make any difference.I grew up with a shitty abusive father and it just never goes away,that feeling of being cheated out of something that every kid should have.There is rarely a day that goes by that I don't think about it or that something doesn't reminds me of it.I admire John as an artist and as an intellect but is track record as a father is very disappointing .

@mrfester42 7 лет назад

Why would you say he didn't get over the scars of his childhood? If you believe that then you haven't been paying attention. In this piece he reveals what he went through and moreover has no problem discussing it without even the slightest hint of anger. Of course someone never forgets any past pain or trauma but along with the other successes he's had in his life it would be more reasonable to think that he's "gotten over" all that in his past.

@LennyJohnson5 8 лет назад

Julian's always come across as a good guy; the sadness is that John just appeared to be moving into a happier and more mature and accepting phase of his life when he was shot. I'm sure some of the major problems his behaviour had caused Julian would have been resolved - John wasn't stupid or without a conscience and he would have known exactly how much pain and damage he'd caused, purely because his upbringing had done the same to him. I hope Julian has a wonderful life, and even though I'm a huge Lennon fan I have no trouble whatsoever in accepting Julian's viewpoint..... John knew he was flawed; just listen to some of the lyrics. The interview was very indicative of Julian's giving and classy nature.

@selwynkatz519 5 лет назад

Yes I agree...having read all the Lennon personal history...very sad indeed...not only for Julian ...but for John aswell. It has been written John was going to make it all up to Julian by going back to England for awhile just before be died...sadly that wasn't to be. As for Cynthia what a wonderful woman she was in raising Julian the correct way. Julian ..what gentleman ...and a courages spirit in forgiving his father. R.I.P Cynthia....and John.

@ttintagel 4 года назад

Piatequila I dunno. My relationship with my father has been similar to Julian’s, with the difference being that mine is still alive. And if he chose to put in the effort to try to make up for it, he definitely could. I’m not holding my breath, but the opportunity is there. The tragedy is that Julian can no longer even hope for that.

@elizabethburke637 3 года назад

John awknowledged all the wrong he did to his son Julian and wife Cynthia. He said it is the violent people who learn that love and peace is the way and he changed to become a better man and began to renew his relationship w Julian. John was just a man. People put others on pedistals but John was a down to earth guy who was broken through his own life. He repeated the cycle of disfunction that he grew up in but once he realized this, he had courage and strength to admit it and he did make changes. His mean spirit came from his own lack of self esteem when he was young and he carried inside for many years before coming to terms w it and being able to help himself. Being aware of your problem is the first step. I am sure had Zkohn lived, he and Julian would have developed a much deeper happier relationship as that was starting to be the path they were taking at the end. Julian as he matured came to peace with it all. Julian is the best most decent human being. He could have destroyed his father s image but clearly he loved him to the end as did Cynthia.

@alexgabriel5650 5 лет назад

John and Yoko preached love and peace and forgiveness; Julian actually did it. He is clearly a warm, compassionate man - and I think that is because of his mother, not his father. Cynthia's book "John" is the best book I have read about the Beatles - and it sure opened my eyes about a lot.

@gracebarzyz5754 6 лет назад

When you pass through similar circumstances and you listen to him talk.......it's a feeling as if you know him! Had to be a thousand times worse dealing with all of it in the spotlight. Thank God for the beautiful Mom that raised him. Never the less.....still had to be painful for him. It takes a support system from friends and family to heal from these kinds of heartbreaks. Glad to see that he's finally content within himself. May God Bless him always.

@MeeMee-gz5vp 3 года назад

After seeing this, I’ve lost respect for Julian. John set up a trust account for Julian, at the sum of about £100,000 a week if I’m not mistaken. Numerous photos all over the internet of John with Julian all through his childhood, even photos of Julian with a baby Sean Lennon at the Dakota Apartments with John and Yoko also photographed with him. A young Julian in photos out and about in New York with Yoko’s relatives. Photos of a young Julian being given a sweet 16 birthday party in New York, as well as the nice motorbike John bought him as a gift. Handwritten letters from John in the height of his fame with the Beatles sincerely apologizing for not being home (because he was working hard to make his money for his little family), and asking Cynthia to please tell Julian his father loves him. And the list goes on. The whole my father was never a part of my life is a fib. Photos and videos don’t lie.

We all love Julian, reminds us the best years of The Beatles, that little boy had been an inspiration to Paul and the Beatles, playing quietly among them, taking part to some of their vacatios and travels, any kind like that is giving hope and positive inspiration.Love u Julian Lennon, thank you so much.
