Lennon's Son Reignites Feud With Yoko Ono

JOHN LENNON's eldest son JULIAN has reignited his public feud with his father's widow YOKO ONO by accusing her of trying to control the former BEATLE's legacy.

Lennon was attending a book launch to publicise his mother CYNTHIA's memoirs of marriage to the IMAGINE hitmaker when he launched his attack.

And he saved his fiercest criticism for her contribution to the critically-panned Broadway musical LENNON.

He says, "I haven't seen it but I read some reviews and thought, what a mess.

"The way she describes his life to the world is in connection with her."

Musician Julian also claims the artist has denied him some of his father's most treasured possessions, as well as the domain name www.johnlennon.com for which he battled her in court.

john was a human being, a gifted songwriter and someone with hopes and dreams like all the rest of us. we treat him like he is a god, for that we must take some responsibility for the adulation that we have poured over him in life and death. for he was only a man, something a lot of us tend to forget, i think his biggest success was in making us see that if we work very hard, have determination and belief in ourselves, we can set and reach our goals like he did, to defame yoko ono no matter how we feel about her is to ignore everything that john tried to communicate to us. john loved yoko and she loved him, to forgive is bliss. and lady ^^^ you need to live your own life, john is dead we have his songs and his memory thats it! i'm sure that if he was reaching "over" he wouldnt be talking to some nutter he dosnt know, he would be communicating to his loved ones don't you think? like john said we are our own god, after all one of his biggest fans took him away from us because he couldn't seperate the man from the myth. all you need is love
