Reply to comment by bolanrox in TIL "Hey Jude" evolved from the song "Hey Jules" which Paul McCartney wrote for John Lennon's son, Julian, to comfort him while Lennon and his wife were getting separated, He recorded first part of the song on his way to Cynthia and Julian in his Car with a recorder installed in his car's dashboard. by Knight_TheRider

I had a poster of Lennon which I was looking for now I won't

Edit - But I am wrong, because part of song is about telling Lennon to go ahead with Yoko so who am I to judge?

in the end though if you want a some what happy ending. Julian and Sean are super close, enough so that Cynthia and Yoko were at least on speaking terms for the sake of their kids.

Yoko also refused to give Julian anything of his dad's after John's death. Julian was forced to buy various items at auction of memorabilia that Yoko held. Julian was also written out of his dad's will after he and Yoko got together. Everything was left to her and Sean.

Yoko is a better singer than human being.

Chuck Berry, the guy who recorded women pooping in his restaurant bathrooms and had a whole hidden room off his bedroom with the tapes and projection gear? That arbiter of good taste?

While he may not have been a good person, that doesn't mean he wasn't a good musician.

Still yoko wasn't legally required to give Julian anything. So she didn't

Yup. John said he thought the whole song was about him, but I think it's more complicated than that. He probably did too, really.
