Julian
Lennon inherited his father's looks, but how much of his talent? John
Lennon's 17-year old son practices the drums five or six hours a day
and plays in a local band in north Wales. Though he doesn't sing ("I
used to but I lost the knack"), he has written some songs- most
recently, a poem from "Twelfth Night" that he put to music
"while messing about on the guitar". Does this add up to
a life of hard day's nights? "Before I try anything I want to
become as good as possible, reach my top abilty," says Julian.
"Then if I don't make it, I won't do anything more about it."
Nonetheless, Julian says he'll probably go to New York soon to test
the waters. He doesn't deny the rumors that eventually he'll cut a
record with his step-mother, Yoko Ono: "Yoko will be able to
give me advice and guidance if I need it".
