I watched A Hard Day’s Night and then because little to no reading material was available about Julian, I got reading materials about John. “Yes, Julian Lennon,” I relied, “I love this song.”Įven my mother, who never liked The Beatles turned and said, “You don’t know who The Beatles are?”īecause of Julian I had learned the name of the greatest band the world ever knew. But one day in the car I won the music war with my brother and I had dad rewind the tape and turn up the car radio to hear Valotte again loud enough that I could sing to it. My father was a musician and had talked about this band from England that had changed music and ruined his career (they played surfer rock) and this concert in DC and blah blah blah,īut I didn’t know who they were I couldn’t remember their name. Then I was allowed to buy the tape and I loved that too. ![]() I felt a sadness and the heart behind that song and I put it on a mix tape, it was the 80’s after all, and I played it over and over. It wasn’t bubble gum pop, it wasn’t the new boy band. ![]() I was 9 years old when I heard the 1st song that touched me. ![]()
