Ugh, I'm definitely going to this then. I need a reason to go back to LA.

...and I even played Hey Jude today (even though it's one of those songs I've heard too many times for my lifetime) just for Julian. And then I played Julia because he was, after all, named after her.

Some classic Julian pics...

[Nico]

I really love Julian's music (own it all) and his voice is AMAZING. He's a truly lovely guy and certainly the most popular Beatle kid in terms of the general public. Anyway, there is a lot of Julian these days that reminds me of his dad physically, and of course there's tons about his personality and the coolness that he penetrates sometimes that is very John. He's quite a fantastic guy in terms of his various talents and humanitarian work. And I won't lie...I'd die for him and Sean to work together.

I adore this song:



A classic:



My absolute favorite:



And something more recent:

This one is so sweet:







COLD by Julian Lennon

I've read the headlines covering your wall,
a thousand lifetimes, you must have lived them all,
we took our chances, I love the way you fall.
Over there, I see you over there,
tossed around the sun,
I can feel you everywhere tonight.

Don't leave me cold,
living life without you - cold,
dreams don't always come true - cold,
everything we've been through,
don't leave me cold.

You are the flower, growing in my hand,
hour by hour, the more I understand,
a million colors, of woman and a man.
Over there, I see you over there,
tossed around the sun,
I can feel you everywhere tonight.

Don't leave me cold,
living life without you - cold,
dreams don't always come true - cold,
everything we've been through,
don't leave me cold.

Over there, I see you over there,
tossed around the sun,
I can feel you everywhere tonight.

Don't leave me cold,
living life without you - cold,
dreams don't always come true - cold,
everything we've been through,
don't leave me cold.

Don't leave me cold,
living life without you - cold,
dreams don't always come true - cold,
everything we've been through,
don't leave me cold....

^^ I love the above pic of Julian looking at his father's famous NYC photo with the photos of Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg in the background- the very duo whom Sean and Charlotte recently covered in their "Comic Strip" song and video. lol!

Everything moves in cycles, as Lindsey says.

Hmmmm...well, although he wasn't quite as cute as SEAN was as a little boy, and though I have Sean solo albums but no Julian solo, and though he posts goofy things on the Internet (and we're the same age )....well, he's John's son and that's reason enough to stand up and say "Yeah!"

And I promised I would buy his new album...IF it ever comes out

*sigh....*

Don't forget what I posted above your prior post MsLinds. I'm looking for the list!

NO! 3rd World Man WANTS to go but I can't!!! Well, I could, but it would kinda involve quitting my job, packing up my car and hauling it to NC...**sigh** hmmmm....that could actually WORK!! Alas though, I can't experience such an amazing show alone So...NICO, how's YOUR job?? Care to quit it, join me on the road, and pretend we're Jack Kerouac? We can follow Sean & Char and TFL around the country until we run out of money (say somewhere around St. Louis ) ??
Well, if that's doesn't float your boat how about this concert:


It's in OHIO, I know....BUT that's GOOD because it's more feasible than NC, and though GOASTT won't be there, you've already seen them, right? And it's a WEEKEND

[Nico]

^ lol! No, Mr. 3rd World, I can't join you on a cross-country trek concert stalking FL/The GOASTT, much as I would love to see them. Not feasible in any fashion.

I believe you have once again found a way to advertise for your favorite modern rock band in this JL thread, lol! It's all good. I saw Neko Case in concert a few times last year and she has a great voice no question. I'm a NC fan.

I may consider Ohio, only because I freakin' live here but it may not work because a few weeks later I'm going to....*drum roll*

Abbey Road On The River with my girls and I have to use a day from work for that. *sigh* Why can't these concerts be planned around MY schedule? Hmph!

Both YOU and Julian look fantastic for your age. I know that is true.

[msLinds]

Thanks Nico for posting the great photographs of Julian and his Dad together.Also I love the photo you posted of Julian looking at his father's famous NYC photograph.The one of Sean and Julian I love that photograph of them sitting together.I am sorry 3rd World Man you can't go see your favorite modern band Flaming Lips with the Goastt.But I am sure your have many other opportunities in the future to see them in concert.Good luck being able to see just the Flaming Lips without the Goastt when they perform in Ohio.Nico I hope you have a great time at your upcoming Abbey Road on the river event and performances.I could see you both driving around the country following Sean and Charlotte and TFL. lol I wonder what Sean would think about such loyal fans following him around the country ? Everyone have a safe,positive and great weekend and take care.

Thank you MsLinds. My high school girlfriends and I (whom I haven't seen since...well, life happened after high school) decided to do a road trip to AROTR. We are all Beatles stans, and my one friend in particular loves them so much that that is the only music she plays to her kids basically. So it should be nice.

I so am the kind of person to trek across the world for concerts, though I'm not sure I'd do it for GOASTT unless they were the main show, as I love the Flaming Lips and recognize their brilliant and artistic concerts but am not IN LOVE with them like that.

Anyway, I really hope to see them (The GOASTT) in concert soon, as it was such an incredible show. I also want a new Sean solo album.

I do agree with 3rd World Man that this Julian album is taking a while. I'm sure it will be great, whenever it's released.

Hmmm....well, THANK YOU for the nice age comment really!
and what is this alleged advertisement for The Flaming Lips? [ontournow] I don't know what you're talking about![tixonsale] I would be willing to bet that you may have slipped a few non-John/Beatle plugs here&there, no?? Well, anyway, I thought I would share this really well done, JOHN-THEMED video slideshow. And it has nothing to do with my beloved Flaming Lips Enjoy! And thanks msLinds for all of your nice, thoughtful comments too, you & Nico are the sweetest Ledgies
