Julian Lennon
Julian Lennon and Beatles Memorabilia
Not too long ago I learned that Julian Lennon turned 50. It was difficult to believe time went by so fast, and brought me back to my own mortality. I was six years old when "The Beatles" were just coming into their own. Their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show started a chain reaction that lead to their immortality through their works and tools of the trade.
One can only imagine the sorts of products, personal items, media clips, photographs, or other items of mass merchandise that fell under the package of the Fab Four at that time. Promoters were very creative, and very responsive to their market which would primarily consist of starry-eyed, fainting teenage girls and guys who liked their hip music and mod hair cuts. Thus, for the guys (and gals) one could find "Beatles" wigs. Back in the day, one was not cool unless they had one.
In a recent interview with Julian Lennon, he spoke a bit about his private Beatles collection and how he still seeks certain pieces of Beatles memorabilia pertaining to his father, John Lennon, one of the founding members of The Beatles.
Julian Lennon is a decent human being and an incredible artist in his own right. He is also a direct descendant of one of most controversial talents in modern music history. As a descendant, one can only imagine the things that a father may pass on to his son, or bits of the son that were passed to the father throughout the course of their lives together.
"Beatles Memorabilia: The Julian Lennon Collection," provides a collector's perspective with a more personal point of view. The book was written to be shared with collectors, friends, and fans of The Beatles and by Julian Lennon.

"Don't Wake Me Up" by Julian Lennon - Everything Changes
I've been taking my time
Sipping water from wine
Life feels so divine
I've got you on my mind
Please don't wake me this time
Don't wake me up in the morning
Because I'm dreaming of you
Don't wake me up in the morning
This dream can't last forever,
This dream can't all be true
'Cause I can feel I'm falling
I've been waiting to see,
What will happen to me
I just want to be free
Just to dream reality
Please won't you let me be
Don't wake me up in the morning
Because I'm dreaming of you
Don't wake me up in the morning
I'm flying into the blue
This dream can't last forever
This dream can't all be true
Cause I can feel I'm falling
Please won't you let me be
