This is the wife of John Lennon that we love. 💟☮️
She was so beautiful
It shows how mentally messed up John was to mistreat Cynthia and fall all over himself for Yoko.
You love John's wife?
She was mine and my sister's first role model in 63 and on. To me, she is THE First Lady of the Beatles. Her power of forgiveness is beyond this world. Julian was born out of her heart.
Cynthia Lennon has an amazing speaking voice and the depth of intelligence to speak the truths from which all of us benefit.
Cynthia was such a classy, intelligent, articulate woman. Moving on from her and Julian was John's great loss. RIP Cynthia.
For her to say so many good things about him after what he did to her and her son shows what a beautiful soul she is. Rip Cynthia. Rip John.
Love causes strange behavior, doesn’t it?
I didn't know Cynthia died???
My aunty married Cynthia's brother Tony. I met Cynthia and John at that wedding. I was introduced to John with the words "He's in a group and they've made a record." I was just a boy in short trousers but from that introduction I followed the Beatles avidly.I watched "Love me do" go up the charts as far as number 17.
The above photo of Cynthia is a superb photo she is absolutely stunning.. It is on record that George also fancied Cynthia and my aunty has stated on more than one occasion that Paul said "How about you and me Cyn?" when she split with John.
In the interview she says she had no family at her wedding to John and there were no photographers there. In her book she has a drawing of the wedding showing her brother Tony and my aunty in the picture, the only surviving witnesses to the wedding are Paul McCartney and my aunty.
Cynthia, obviously a woman who was brought up with decency and standards. A level headed woman who was a rock for her son. Bless her.
What a wonderful human being Julian is all due th his mum's love and affection.
@@fieldsofgreen8857 I think Johns neglect was probably a lucky escape for Julian.
@@user-fq8rs7rz3i I totally agree with you!
I have nothing but disrespect for Yooko Uno and I could NEVER figure out what attracted John to that ! I always thought John to be highly intelligent until he got mixed up with her .
I think a lot of hate to Yoko was driven by the low key snide digs that people don't notice as bitchy,
"Yoko she's a conceptual artist so an exhibitionist " so many double meaningings and micro aggression just there.
What an amazing lady. The sound of her voice has an almost calming effect. Very sorry to hear of her passing.
Stricknyne1 Do not feel sorry. When you get old, will learn that death can be welcome.
@@jimlaguardia8185 she wasn't that old. 75 is a rather young age for death these days.
Maybe they’re together in heaven now.
How and when did Cynthia die?😢👧
@@cindicraig2412-Cynthia died of cancer in 2016, I believe.
I will never figure out how John left this beautiful, classy woman for Yoko!
He liked strong women
Tempted by the fruit of another.
He left cos Cynthia was too normal. Ono was anything but. I genuinely think Cynthia and their son were better off without him. Who would want to live a life of humiliation and deliberate cruelty? He really was a nasty creature.
I feel vindicated that she said John was the one with talent, not Yoko. It's interesting that John said Yoko was the closest thing to having a relationship with a man. I don't know that I would take that as a compliment if I were Yoko. Cynthia was kind to a fault, and far too forgiving of John.
What a classy woman . It’s beautiful how she says Julian is the blessing that was created by the marriage with John .
My Mum worked for Cynthia Lennon in her café in North Wales in the 80s!
Cynthia Lennon was a classy lady and a great mother. She’s really a forgotten woman and thank you for sharing this interview
Beautiful woman inside & out. John was lucky to have her. RIP Cynthia.
JULIAN WAS THE BEST PART OF THEIR UNION...HE IS A GREAT GUY
Agrée, listened to some interviews with Julian and he really does come across as a terrific down to earth guy. Not arrogant at all. The kind of person that would be enjoyable to know.
All said and done John was gifted - but he was equally as ‘privileged’ to have a woman like Cynthia in his life. ✨
"Flawed" is an excellent way to describe John Lennon. Thank God, Cynthia's character was not flawed, and she was able to raise Julian to become a beautiful, intelligent, clear-thinking man, as we can see from the interview he gave on the podcast I just watched.
It is pitiful that John lived at the whim of Yoko Ono, a selfish, obviously very jealous woman. It is good that John was with May for a time so that she could promote good feelings between John and Julian.
“wounded” is a much better and more accurate word
STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER. A garden in Central Park put together by YokoOno in his memory. There are trees from all over the world. There is a little memorial to him, and South Africa is represented There as well. TheBeatles were banned for many years in South Africa - because of something Lennon said. I visited that memorial, and saw SA's participation on that
Leoni Golding
John was mad to leave her for yoko, Cynthia was class julian was lucky to have her as a mother.
Cynthia is so gracious, so genuine, and always so kind at heart. ❤
She said something very profound here… Nobody should own another person’s talent. It should be shared with the world. Cynthia was a very eloquent lady; very well spoken & honest; I’m grateful people still see the beauty in her and what she says, does, and the amazing woman she was.
Agreed
no one should...such a weaker practice of robbing others labor and creativity-- like all those great and unsung blues musicians who were robbed of their talent without seeing a penny, while the ugly trolls become rich.
I agree with everything that's said 😭Rip Ms.Cynthia🌷🌺🌼😭
What a great interview.. R I P Cynthia Lennon..🌼🌼🌼🌼
That says it all. Yoko acts as if she owns John.
Excellent interviewer. She was a classy, down to earth normal person, who got caught up in a different world once John became famous. This isn’t unusual with spouses whose significant others become stars. She has dignity and doesn’t sound like an angry person. She sounded like someone who would have been nice to get to know. Rest In Peace.
Cynthia is a gracious, intelligent and truthful lady.
Cynthia Lennon speaks with grace and no bitterness! Very interesting interview.
Aye Absolutely
She was too good for John Lennon; YES, he was a great talent, but that should never excuse violence toward those whom one is supposed to love.
@63Baggies
She was too good for him.
Miles and miles too good for him.
He and yoko deserved each other.
the whole interview strikes me with a couple of things; her simplicity. She was just a mother. A loving caring simple mother. A beautiful woman. She reminds me of the way my own mother speaks sometimes. She loved john truly.
Well said Ian.
He seems to have chosen a very sane, decent, intelligent and warm woman as his first wife.
And John truly did love her! I do believe that John and Cynthia probably weren't meant to last; the LSD came between them long before Yoko fully entered the picture. However, it still breaks my heart to this day that Yoko had such a negative influence on John. And it was to the detriment of everyone around him who cared for him.
Hey, WAITAMINIT she looks nothing like the Cynthia at 70 yrs old , JUST LIKE PAUL!!!!!!
Chas Leask That’s an extremely dumb thing to say. Who looks the same at 25 as they do at 70? Do you think you’re gonna look the same? If so, you’re delusional.
A real pig of a wide with the second.
@@SeaStarTea I think you've just made one of the more intelligent posts on this vid, thank God! I agree very much with your assessment. Thank you.
She was a lovely lady and a wonderful mom to Julian who is a lovely warm person. Bless you both..
Annette Elliott she must have been a super mom,cause Julian is really a good person...💕
Cynthia paints a different life than what has been painted in the media. What a classy, wonderful lady. Really good interview.
That's why they are called the lapdog fake media period.
Never believe the media. To steal a phrase of theirs: Consider the source.
How classy is it to relentlessly hammer on how pathetic and inferior your old love was and to proclaim to the world what a hopelessly deformed emotional cripple he was? Some would say not entirely "classy".
@@dixonpinfold2582 Some would say your comment is pathetic and inferior. Nothing better to do with your life?
@@dixonpinfold2582 ahhh yes. women should just let the men who abuse them be painted as the peace-loving visionaries we would all prefer for them to be
I saw a touching interview with Julian the other day. He loved Cyn so much and the look on his face said it all ❤️
He’s such a sweetheart best of parents ❤we love you Julian! He just released a record called JULES” great one! ⭐️⭐️
I heard he cried when Brian told him he HAD to get married because it could hurt his image
I've read Cynthia's book. It's amazing what she's been through and she's very calm especially when Yoko arrived on the scene. She didn't say a bad word against Yoko or John. Cynthia just told it how it happened but also told of her tears yet she said she still loved John.
No matter what happens you never truly fall out of love with someone you fell in love with in the 1st place..Lennon I believe was never in love with Cynthia…his true love ( albeit an odious woman) was Yoko…she became the mother he never had.
@@garrybroadbent8297 No Cynthia was his first love!its just having a child that young as you are in the midst of beatlemania would mess up anyones head!Yoko came in at the end of the beatles coinciding with John's addiction to heroin which yoko prepared in his tea!How romantic!
@@garrybroadbent8297 In that c as it wasn't love but some kind of neurosis or psychopathy. The word for her is "onerous." John must have been really neglected as a child to prefer her.
How she entered her kitchen to find Yoko in her kimono and John in his .. “Cyn meet Yoko the woman I love “ and she proceeded to projectile vomit right there and fly to Patti or Mos house . They had been away in Spain. Yoko moved in. Both behaved despicable and heartless. Yoko - here’s hoping her Karma is clean now ?
coinciding or ? @@marksimons4108
"Life is a lesson , and the answers at the end" RIP lovely Cynthia. What a beautiful person inside and out. Bless you Julien and know that that our hearts are with you
IN A WAY I LIKE JOHN LENNON, BUT I THINK I LIKE CYNTHIA BETTER
Sometimes we know or hear about people that have everything and they don't appreciate it. At the end their lives were wasted. Drugs,fame, sex at the end was worthlessly. Pety...
Bless You Julian
👍✌
@@kjellhansen1387 she’s a better person! But he got all the praise’
Intelligent woman, humble and loving. Best woman Lennon ever had.
Paul McCartney said in an interview on the Charlie Rose show that Lennon liked strong, bossy women, like his mother was, so that’s why he went for Yoko, trouble that she was.
Kind of like Duchess of Windsor, Meghan Markle. Don’t get it, but some men like to be led around.
Yoko was his mom.
racist much?
@@lubazak636 Let’s talk about your spouse, what’s wrong with them at their core?
@@MarsCapone
I would not enable a heroin addict. She did not do him any favors. Nothing racist about it.
Yoko had dollar signs in her eyes.
so very sad to lose Cynthia. My sympathies to Julian
Cynthia was an amazing woman. She was a smart, creative, beautiful, educated, sweet woman and also a great mother to Julian. Wish John would have known what he had when he had her.
Life was complex when people saw John... HE was an amazing puzzle of overconfidence, insecurity and anger issues. I loved him anyway.... And people loved him too! Cynthia and millions of others COULD NOT RESIST that about him!
I think he was just too young and had alot to learn and realize to see Cynthia for her wonderful qualities and who she really was. John went off to life bootcamp, so to speak. Cynthia and John were two very different types of people, and in terms of life experience they simply were not on the same page.
im sure he knew what he had more than you do.
@@nonebusiness4488 then why did they not stay together? Did you even listen to the interview and Cynthia's comments?
@@joleneloveland2942 they didn't stay together because john did not want to. because he left her for someone that he really loved. if i ever listened to cynthia's comments i don't remember them anymore. i remember what john said and did. he left because he did not love her. she bored him. he knew what he had and he didn't want it. what is confusing about this to you.
She looks so beautiful in this shot! Lovely woman!
She has class, intelligence and integrity in spades. Yoko Ono...a woman that autioned of personal letters between John and his son Julian tells you everything about her integrity.
Yoko was a D-M DOG !
The witch and she literally was one, should have auctioned off her son Sean's letters front John!
Yes, Julian had to buy at auction (profiting Yoko) his letter exchange with his own father.
Wow, bastards. I didn’t write that above beginning part. It popped up and won’t let me discard or edit. My writing starts at...it’s.
@@SuperAnimelover100 You shouldn't say that about her! You see John Lennon just wanted to date Cynthia.He wasn't in love with her. She tricked him and got pregnant then he married her! John thought he was too young to get married but he didn't want his son to grow up to be a bastard! And John Lennon lost his mother at a young age she didn't want him around because of her boyfriend and his father left him when he was small and return when he was famous! That's the way it was with John Lennon those are the facts! John Lennon needed a mother figure that's why he married Yoko plus she was 10 years older him. He needed that to survive! It may be hard thing for you to understand but that's the way it is!
She’s so articulate and insightful and clear-headed.
Sometimes mental cruelty and neglect are worse or just as bad as physical abuse especially if it is from someone you deeply love and trust .
It spells the E-N-D.
Doreen Pelletier You are 100% correct. I know this and exactly what Julian went through from my own personal experience. I would have rather taken a few beatings than been completely ridiculed and eventually ignored as if I never existed.
It seems like he was Extremely unstable and Cruel!!
I think it’s worse in the sense that if someone hits you, you know what you are dealing with, and at some point you are going to leave. Emotional abuse and neglect by a narcissistic man that every woman in the world would kill to date could mess up your head to the point of no return. You would always be like, What just happened? Is it me? What did I do? Poor lady.
Sounds like NPD.
RIP Cynthia Lennon. Beautiful soul...
Amazing he couldn't see her or maybe he did but his demons and self destructive tendencies wouldn't allow him to fully surrender to the relationship
@@krackowkid6618 I think you are right.
Sincere condolences to you, Julian, on the huge and very sad loss of your mum. I was privileged to see you both in Liverpool in 2010 at the dedication of the peace monument. It was clear what a loving and special relationship you had with one another. She was fortunate to have a most caring, loving son, due in large part to her amazing parenting skills. I just lost my mom in January so I understand and I'm very saddened by your loss.
Beautiful, sincere heartfelt words !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Julia and I'm very sorry for the loss of your mom I didn't know this and I'm very truthful lie sorry it's very sad she was a terrific woman didn't know her that I've been reading about her and she was a terrific woman you're so privileged to have her as your mom she was a wonderful lady
Oh, come on, condolences, and all that.
Haven't you got an idea on how many fathers just ditch their kids, sons for good?!
And now everyone feels for Julian, oh so sorry etc. Why? Cause he's a famous guy's son, so what?
Yes, it was not a nice story, sure. But our dad left two of his 5yo sons forever, went away to live his new life. And we didn't have any safety net, so we just got on with it.
And so should have Julian, god bless him. Just get on with it.
John had had much more drama in his life.
My faith in humanity is restored after reading all these lovely comments
agreed. was there could be more of them.
jimmy foster you will not find one soul that likes Yoko but you will find great people loving Cynthia and Linda Eastman
Judging from this interview, this is one hell of a classy woman that any man worth his manhood would be proud to call wife.
yes.
Absolutely.
I love her voice :) Very soothing and calm and very well spoken.
Suaranya begitu lembut...menyejukkan...wanita yg baik dan pintar...saya sayang chintya dan julian
I have a signed book from her and so glad I have it! RIP CYNTHIA LENNON!
I enjoyed her books. "A Twist of Lennon" was very insightful.
I envy a signed copy
Cynthia was the best. Can you imagine giving her up, for YOKO ????? Beyond insane. Cyn was a gem. RIP
No Chance In Hell For Me Cynthia Is Gorgeous Yoko Is A Steamier/Ugly
@@thomasjones2415 He must have wanted the eccentric oddities.
She put a spell on him. There.
@@thomasjones2415 John was looking for a mother figure and found it in Yoko! I can't stand that woman and am so very sorry that he ever left Cynthia - she is so beautiful!
Ikr Cynthia was the best
One of the best interviews I have ever heard, the honesty, the empathy , the realization of being young, trying to be a couple who tried, hard to find their happiness, I can tell, dear Cynthia , that you were loved by him., and the two life's that came together to bring Julian into the world is a high purpose., may God bless you all,
Cynthia is a great story teller. Her words paint a vivid picture.
I have always loved John and Cynthia is a gem. What a lovely eloquent lady who was a tremendous mom to Julian. First class all the way and very talented in her own right. Bless you all.
Stern
He should have treated them both so much better. Particularly Julian imo
What a lovely lady and her son, Julian, is a very talented artist on his own. She did a wonderful job raising such a gentleman.
Julian, is a very talented artist.. really ? he had a big head start over thousands of other aspiring pop singers who you will never hear about. He tried to sing like his dad in 1 single... talented artist who wants to copy his parents ? that's a new one
@@TimLondonGuitarist I think your summation is a bit harsh. He MAY not have been as talented as his father but then again--who is?
There is a whole lot of room for talent to manifest between a no talent person and a John Lennon.
Furthermore, considering how remarkable the likeness is between Julian and John, I don't think Julian had to "try" to sound like his father -- all he had to do was open his mouth.
@@Toberofthetrees There's not much room: I used to be a live music promoter. The opportunites for 'artists' who prefer to write their own songs etc are very limited: nobody wants to know about them except their mates, unless you've got a famous parent or similar
@@TimLondonGuitarist I understand what you mean on this note. It is undeniable that having a famous someone or notoriety for pretty much any reason is a MAJOR advantage. I heard that was why Slash kept his identity a bit under wraps until they achieved a little success. He didn't want anyone claiming nepotism or undue help because of his parent's connections.
I do want to clarify one thing. When I said there was a lot of room, I wasn't referring to a lot of room for a lot of people to succeed. I meant that the evaluation of Julian's talent was not black and white between is he as talented as his father or not. John is gifted at the far end of the bell curve. Almost no one is, was, or will be as talented. Julian's talent can be a few levels beneath John's or even a bunch of levels beneath John's and still be significant when compared to Joe Blow from Cocomo.
@@Toberofthetrees The Slash parents worked in peripheral roles in the recording industry. He could've got contacts there but not the job with GnR. Julian is a bit sinister presenting himself as the entitled & jilted son ofJohn: got him nowhere. & there was the ridiculous idea that beatles should reform with him replacing John
What an amazing lady. Julien must miss her very much.
I agree with the overwhelming sentiments on herè , what a lovely lady , poor John he traded gold for muck xx
fantastic interview.incredible woman you were Cynthia. rip lovely lady
Goodbye Dear Cynthia.
Lovely Lady.
Will always remember the dignity and class your mother lived with all her life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all who knew your mother. Her beauty lives one. Your son is absolutely wonderful.
I met Cynthia at a hotel Beatles Festival in Philadelphia around 1995. I still have the ticket stub somewhere. She was walking across the floor through the crowd and basically the people there didn't know who she was. I was holding a Beatles bootleg CD I just bought and said hey Cynthia can you sign my Beatles bootleg ? Her bodyguard stopped me and said she isn't signing today. I said sure she is , aren't you Cynthia ? She nodded yes and signed it for me. I have it in my collection of CD's
That’s an icon!😊😊 RIP CYN 🌹🕊️🕊️🕊️
What a wonderful tribute song from a son to his Mother. Cynthia was not only beautiful and wise, but a strong lady to have endured the public eye for most of her life. She will always be lovingly remembered. Julian has the best qualities and talents of both of his parents. Imagine ..... Peace and Love.
great interview, Cynthia was so calm and kind..
"everybody was rejected when John married Yoko" .Tout est dit!(this says it all!)
That is true, family and friends know you better than yourself. 🌷
Yep ... Yoko is a classic narcissist. She separated and isolated John from his friends, family, his first-born son Julian ... and her "normal" became his normal. Thing is though, he allowed Yoko to do this.
Reminds me of Hairy and his wife.
@@deegralak-roe that’s what I thought 💭 and nutmeg and Harry are wokes too!
Nutmeg ? You 2 need a life ! Racists to the point of idiocy . This is about Cynthia Lennon.
what a lovely girl. RIP
So truthful without feeling like she’s just out to hate on anyone.... props to her
"And he made everybody laugh. 🎸He just sat in the corner...
and he played "Ain't She Sweet." We danced and that was it.
Because- I loved him; and it is as simple as that."
R.I.P.✞ Cynthia- such a sweet soul; and such a sweet mum to Julian.👐🏻
Heaven got just got a little classier! R.I.P. Cynthia Lennon. :-(
“No one person should own another person’s talent, it should be given to the world...”
And “I’m still learning, life is a lesson, and the answer is at the end.”
She really was a beautiful woman, a class act...
My thoughts and prayers are with you Julian...
You can tell by the way John is looking at Cynthia that he really loved her so sad it ended
Cynthia was a class act. She loved him to the day she died. Which she stated in her book but also stated if she had to do it over again she would have run. She was very grateful to have Julian but she had a heartbreaking 💔 experiences loving John.
i could listen to her talk all day. what a class of a woman cynthia truly was. RIP queen
What a beautiful balanced soul.
Not a bad bitter word against her ex ! What a big hearted n composed lady ! May she now rest in eternal peace and joy !
so sorry to hear about your mom, your tribute was just beautiful. You are right she is sooo beautiful. Despite what happened with her and your Dad they were both young when they married and like the rest of us who married young we had no idea what it took to make a good marriage, She always talked in a good way about your Dad and we all need to follow her example of letting go and working through hurts she did it with grace and dignity. God bless her and your family for all you have given to this world she was a special lady, keep her memory alive .
I STILL FEEL BAD JULIAN WAS PRETTY MUCH IGNORED BY JOHN....BUT JULIAN SEEMS LIKE A GREAT GUY....
Nancy Davis I thought he was cool and an sctivist but he us into his own belly button fluff.
John was in the eyestorm of Beatlemania when Julian was born. John was also very young. I see many photos of John being affectionate with Julian. I think it was Yoko who interfered because she told Cynthia she had to go through her to discuss Julian, and Cynthia said, no way.
@@mmb1572 Where did you here that one?? That's crazy! So, Yoko tried to become new mum to Julian? Lol
Thanks to Yoko.
@@mmb1572, I agree!! ANY woman that stands between a man and his children, is a jealous, insecure nasty bitch!! The fact that Yoko tried selling Julian's personal letters to his dad, shows what a greedy bitch she really is!!
Cynthia is such a sweetheart. She no doubt was a huge contributor to who John was and became. The first stabilizing force in his life.
Stable? He had all the middle class stability anyone could have from birth with his beloved uncle and aunt. Though they likely would have rather he became an accountant. But most parents would.
Came across this interview by chance. My goodness how glad I am. How wonderful to hear from Cynthia Lennon. What an intelligent, elegant woman.
An absolutely beautiful insight.
That was amazing... She was such a wonderful woman.... RIP😢
She’s amazing. So good to listen to. In my youth I went out with Ian Anderson aka Jethro Tull. He was lovely to me, wanted to marry me for those pre fame years. However the music industry has a lot to answer for. The groupies have a lot to answer for. Cynthia has dignity and an overview. I wonder if she had to live life again, would she ask to be with one of these guys.
I certainly wouldn’t.
As a one time actress I was asked to play her in a film, I declined thinking her journey was such a painful one. So glad to hear her wisdom and intelligence won through. What a strong and amazing lady.
Wow I could listen to Cynthia for hours and hours and hours, her voice was so calming and she talked confidently. What a shame that Cynthia didn’t reap the reward of John’s Fame Fortune while they were still married and for being John’s first wife and to be with him and to put up with his perhaps bizarre attitude. At least she’s got Julian that loved her so dearly. RIP Cynthia. 🇦🇺
She have a beautiful soul. What lovely, classy women. Rip Cynthia. Now you can continue your love story with John up above❤️
Julian, You have the deepest empathy from my heart. I understand the closeness and loss of your mom.I am also the only child of my mother.
Cynthia had two brothers: Tony and Charles
@@notyouagain1609 Gloria is talking about julian
She's wonderful
I knew Cynthia when she lived on the Isle of Man , lovely lady , very kind and generous .
What a lovely, gracious, dignified lady , genuine and so forgiving and tells it as it is . Julian must be so very
Proud of his late Mum R.I.P. Cyn xXXx
What a decent woman, pretty obvious in how she raised Julian. John was troubled.
I agree. Very troubled
Perfect interviewer - excellent
Cynthia was so classy. I don't know what John was thinking, letting her go. Thank goodness Julian seems to be a lot like her.
how would he be like john when john wasnt there 80 percent of the time
@@armand2615 Genetics.
John Lennon was with Cynthia Lennon for as many years, if not more , than he was with the other woman he later married. He even left that other woman for a year or two for yet another woman in the early 70's. The other woman's name was May Pang, I think. The whole Yoko/John thing is a myth. Nobody would even know who Yoko Ono was if she hadn't manipulated her way into Lennon's life. The fact that Julian Lennon had to buy back the letters his Father and he sent to each other is sickening. I wish the media would stop giving 0no press. I respect Cynthia Lennon for making it clear that the book she wrote was a one time thing. Yoko Ono,'on the other hand crawls out of her lair at every opportunity to capitalize on Lennon's legacy. I really respected Cynthia Lennon for her grace and elegance. May she fly with the angels now.
+Alison Cain you say it best Yoko is a creepy manipulator. A few years ago there was an exhibit at the Rock & Roll hall of fame annex in New York City. I live near it so we went a few times and started to speak to the staff about John & his things. They told me how horrible Yoko was & very mean. There was a white phone in the exhibit that was a direct line from Yokos home to the exhibit. When it rang it could be answered by anyone nearest to it fan or staff. The staff refused to answer it because she was such a bitch. Verbally abusive & nasty. She would insist on firing employees she deemed unworthy. These people were sick of her. Cynthia seems like a very down to earth, kind woman.
Alison Cain ❤️☮️
Yes manipulated!
I agree. The other woman was and is a gold digger. She worked Lennon from the start and seriously doubt his genius status after all if he was so clever why didn't he see her coming.
so true.
I always felt sorry for Cynthia after what Lennon did to her running off with Yoko Ono it was shameful to the extreme leaving Cynthia like that
Cynthia Lennon has died at age 75 of cancer. Growing up with The Beatles, I knew of her through stories and I'd thought John had been very unfair to her. My opinion of John changed when I read that he had told Julian when he was little that he was a mistake. Most children are not planned, but what a thing to say to your kid. I believe Julian is a better man than John, and I believe his mother is the reason. This is a very interesting interview from 2006. A quite lovely, gracious woman. RIP Cynthia!
You don't tell your kid he/she was an accident. It screwed up John to know the truth and he in turn screwed up Julian. As far as it being her fault. The guy controls his privates not the woman. Nothing I have said is a lie. John was a douche.
OH YEAH... You dont understand life. My sister was told by my mother she wasnt wanted, AND she had 6 of us. THEN she had 3 more daughters... You talk about pain! I lost my youngest sister to suicide at 18..
Out of context? You have agreed with Thomas about John's statement about Julian's conception.
Did you notice from the post that "I don't know anybody who was a planned child." and then, "Sean is a planned child..."
Thomas Hayes
She was so intelligent and well spoken. I have lots of admiration for her...
Julian, I'm sad that your loving Mother Cynthia has passed away...With Your Loving relationship with Mom and Dad, you have emerged into a strong and independent man that is "Only You". Keep on moving...
Are you kidding me he had no love from his dad what are you thinking about what planet are you from
"Loving relationship with your Dad?" John was horrible to Julian & he abandoned him. Told Julian he was a mistake when he was little. John was NOT "loving" at all.
What a nice and beautiful soul Cynthia was. RIP madam.
I wish i had a woman like Cynthia, she was such a wonderful and caring person(just by listening to this interview).
What a lovely beautiful lady..
All Beatles fans will always have a place for Cynthia. Lovely woman
Cynthia was a beautiful beautiful woman!!! Not to mention a lot wonderful mum!! R.I.P. Cynthia 🤗💕🤗💕🌺🌺🌺🌻🌻🌻
What a lovely picture....he is soooo much in live with Cynthia
She was such a classy lady.
God Bless you,, darling girl.. you are an angel. you live in my heart, forever.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That was so beautiful! RIP
What a beautiful woman inside and out. I seriously can't get my head wrapped around why he would leave Cynthia for that money grabbing witch, Yoko. I remember hearing Ono singing and my ears would hurt.
Yoko sings in an Occidental scale, I suppose, to remain true to her Japanese roots. The only song, that I know of, where she sings in our Incidental scale is "I am Your Angel" on the Double Fantasy album.
Yoyo lol No talent in art or music...
Annie M, I know what you mean!! When I heard her sing, I COULDN'T BELIEVE anyone would buy her music!! She sounds like someone's killing her!!

A Beautiful Wise Fairminded Compassionate Woman is Cynthia Lennon - I loved this Interview. Thank you 🌹
Everyone seems to leave drugs out of the equation so as not to blemish Yoko’s & John’s reputation. But that makes for a huge equation.
🙌
At one point John & Yoko were on heroin.
i imagine they needed heroin to put up with each other. And because it was so cool and so expensive it made them feel even more special. I wouldn't want to spend 5 minutes with either of them.. On the other hand Cynthia seems like an angel. Almost too good for this dirty old world. @@cagurl9113
