The
May 29th edition of the Daily
Telegraph had another article about Cynthia Lennon and Phyllis
McKenzie's art show in London. The article mentions that the show
is being organized by Pauline Sutcliffe, the sister of "fifth"
Beatle. In the article which spends a lot of time on Cynthia's
past Cynthia is quoted as saying: "It has taken me a long
time to realize that I am a mother only to one boy, my Julian."
Another little snippet of the article which may sound a bit familiar
but this time coming from Cynthia vice Julian..
"Cynthia has had to fight to have her son recognized
properly, as she sees it, by the Lennon estate, which is controlled
by Yoko Ono. Over the past year or two, Julian Lennon - whose
musical career is not, perhaps, the success it might be - has
made some bitter remarks about what he regards as 'neglectful'
treatment by his late father.
'And it has taken him 35 years to be confident enough to say
it,' says his mother. 'Julian and I are like two peas in a pod,
because we have been through so much. We are both better people
because we have been struggling and fighting. If we had been
left millionaires we would have been...'
What? Really happy?
'No. I don't know, but, you see, artists have to suffer and
struggle. You have to feel. You've got to have feelings. If
everything is laid out for you on a plate, it takes away your
creativity.'" |

 There
is a great article on the "This
is London" site about Cynthia's upcoming art exhibit with
her childhood friend Phyllis McKenzie both shown in the picture to
the right from Reuters... Cynthia is holding a drawing she has done
of Julian... The exhibit, jokingly called "Lennon and McKenzie,"
will be at the KDK Gallery at 324 Portobello Road in London from the
3rd of June to 30 July.
The article talks allot about Cynthia's history with John and the
Beatles and includes an interesting tidbit... Cynthia says "very
shortly before" John died he rang his two half-sisters in
Liverpool. "He told them he was coming back to England to
live. That he was leaving Yoko, he'd had enough. He said he kept having
a dream in which he saw himself floating down the Mersey in a huge
Cunard liner. He told Julian, too, 'I want to come home.' It was not
to be."
She also mentions that Julian is the love of her life saying: "We
are very close. We're like brother and sister now."

I
thought everyone would like to read the article
in USA Weekend. Nothing new really, it sounds as if
it was written from the Access
Hollywood interviews and others done while he was here this spring..
There is a new picture there too which was obviously taken while he
was here since his hair is still long in it...
Speaking of Access Hollywood I have the transcript
and captures for the May 4th Access Hollywood up now, Diane graciously
transcribed it ~ Thanks again Diane.
