My Take
I find Julian Lennon one of the most quietly courageous figures in music. Imagine inspiring Hey Jude before you were old enough to understand it, then spending a whole career being measured against a father who was a genius to the world and, by many accounts, distant at home. He could have traded on the surname forever; instead he built a body of work as a songwriter, photographer, and philanthropist that feels deliberately his own. Even his voice resembles John's, which must make the shadow heavier, not lighter. The grace with which he carries that inheritance, honoring it without being consumed by it, keeps me rooting for him.
