John Lennon's Son Upset Over Paul McCartney Snubs

Former Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney, recently remarried in New York City but someone who was left off the guest list is very unhappy about it.  Julian Lennon, the 48-year-old son of the late, John Lennon, was not invited to the October 23^rd nuptial and has also been left out of other Beatles events.  Julian, who was Lennon’s child with his first wife, took to his Facebook profile to vent:  "Wow… Snubbed at Macca’s Wedding, Snubbed at the Anniversary of ‘LOVE’ in Vegas! Snubbed at Macca’s Wedding reception in NYC, last night. Snubbed at George (Harrison’s)’s Film Premier… What Have I done to be ignored in such a way?"

It’s understandable that he should be so upset. He went on to say: "I was not invited to ANY of these events… I thought we had a relationship… Obviously not… Gimme some truth… Maybe now it’s time to tell the Truth… I & My Mother will not be eradicated from History… How Dare They."

This turn of events is particularly surprising since many Beatles fans will know that Julian actually served as the inspiration for “Hey Jude,” a song written by McCartney which was originally titled “Hey Jules.”  It was meant to comfort the five-year-old as his parents ended their marriage.

Meanwhile, Lennon’s second wife, Yoko Ono, and their son, Sean Lennon, were invited to every event that he listed.  The explanation is predictable but inadequate.  A source claims:  "Everyone assumed that Julian was back in Italy – so he wasn’t invited. Yoko and Sean of course were – especially as they both live in New York. It was just one of those things.  He was in New York on the night of the wedding reception but nobody realised - so there was a misunderstanding. Julian put up the posting and, the problem with the Internet is, once it’s out there - there’s no hiding it. Julian, though, has no problem with Sir Paul or Yoko."

Perhaps modern technology could have prevented this perceived slighting?  This could have been solved with a simple phone call, text message or email.
