I thought this article was mean spirited! Just because these guys are well known, doesnt mean their brothers are losers!

Julian lennon's music is way better then sean's. As i see it julian had it alot harder proving himself musically then sean had to. Julian brought an album out 4 years after his father was shot so really john's death was still realatively fresh in people's minds. It wasn't until around 15- 20 years after john death did sean bring out his first album. So Julian was quickly compared to his father and was also encouraged to make albums rather quickly so the record labels could profit off his namesake. Which made julian very disillusioned with the record companies. Which is in turn part of the reason julian went into seclusion and hasn't brought out an album in many years and has focused on his family and charity work. He has stated this in many interviews. He also started his own record label and writing songs at his own pace. Which he has said on his website is planning to release an album this year. He has also just completed a environmental documentary film called "whaledreamers". which has won many awards already and was a big hit at the cannes. So no way is julian the loser of the 2 brothers. He just chose to go it another way.

I thought Julian Lennon sounded just like his father.Was sad when you heard nothing else from him.
