McCartney Times

Julian Lennon, the subject of Beatles classic “Hey Jude,” said he had a “love-hate” relationship with the track.

Paul McCartney wrote it for Lennon when the latter was 5 years old, hoping it would help him through the 1968 divorce of his parents, John and Cynthia Lennon.

“I wasn’t really aware of what was going on except when I started seeing Yoko [Ono] around,” Julian said on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Debatable show. “Obviously that made a bit of an impact, and apparently I struggled with the separation a great deal at 5. I would have raging moments of being a screaming child – but those moments haven’t stuck with me.”
