She played the banjo and the ukulele and did the housework with woollen knickers on her head. She loved pranks and practical jokes(.)Julia Lennon, nee Stanley, was many things depending on your point of view—saint, sweetheart, muse, flibbertigibbet—but she was never anything as quotidian and prosaic as a mum, which is why she haunted her only son's psyche all his short, crowded life.

When I mentioned to Hunter Davies, the only official Beatles biog-rapher, that I was thinking of writing a 'Beatles book', he replied 'Oh you absolutely should. There hasn't been one for a good half hour.'

A parentalidade não era o forte dos Lennon, não. Aqui, acho que é mais uma questão de tentar explicar o complexo edipiano, do que propriamente procurar acusar Julia de ser má mãe...
Quando os filhos pagam por tabela os problemas dos pais (e quando é que isso não acontece?) é desalentador.
