Haha...true, true. In other words, stop dwelling on it. You're right, of course...I shouldn't be dwelling on it. I'm just curious, is all. I do have much better things to do with my time than think on this. I will make the effort to quit thinking about it. (I'm being serious here...not sarcastic. It is silly to keep thinking about it.)

This isnt the first time Julian has ranted about some past hardship, who hasnt who knew John. Beatles and John Lennon stories get interest, this is another. And the world yawned, tried to remember who Julian is, gave up and returned to the really important world of mobiles, celebrity and tv reality shows.

Apparently, he later said in the comments (and then deleted again), that with Paul, it was never about love, or some such shit. If he has something negative to say about Paul, I wish he would just come out and say it. I mean, we all know Paul isn't perfect or anything, so he could have done something shitty. I wish Julian would just stop beating around the bush about it...it's annoying as hell. He says just enough to stay out of trouble, but get a little attention at the same time. I wonder why, after all these years of ...

That "written out of history" remark is pretty ridiculous - dude, NOBODY'S ever gonna forget who your father and Cynthia's first husband was. (Your solo career: Now, that's forgettable.)

Not neccessarily, it depends on how you see it or spin it. Julian said 'im being phased out', hence the story "beatle son ignored by beatles and co", a bit of sympathy, hardship. You see it all the time, newpaper stories going for the sympathy angle and ignoring the complete story, because it sells. The Xfactor thrives on people's hardships in life, its who they favour when chosing the contestants. The harder your life has been the more chance you have of getting on.

Oh god, the very thought is appalling. *shudders*

I meant reality TV and Beatle children as unconnected events.

Any publicity is good publicity. Thus, reality TV.

Its not like Julian would be looking for publicity.

Oh wait he's just put an album out and is currently on a promotion push to sell it.

You got it right, Walrus - I can totally understand how 40+ years of "The Beatles are above criticism" combined with all that other accumulated baggage could turn mere bemused indifference into hatred.

But really, what's up Julian's ass? Who expects to get invited to the wedding of their late father's former co-worker, for chrissakes, when they last worked together over 40 years ago?? Personally, I consider it a chore to attend weddings and know many people agree with me!

You mean there are some Beatles fans who can cope with that idea? I can't believe that, surely nobody can stand criticism of a timelessband who influenced so many other bands?

Going on the basis you are full of sarcasm, if people don't like them, it's their loss. Why should I give a rats ass what they think?

I was indeed not being serious, I was impersonating people who see the Beatles as above criticsm (not sure whether sarcasm is the right word, but hey).

I'm with Sun king on this one.

Also, regarding Beatles trolls: It bothers me, but I don't post "the Beatles are the Best Band Ever and you're a DB if you disagree" rants anymore.

Yes, i'm 1 of them.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i am certainly not going to a) argue the matter with people who are absolutely convinced the beatles are beyond crap or b) try and ...
