Gosh... I feel honored... I'll offer these: James the rock star in action...  Note the strong resemblance to YouTuber Coppercab, famed for his "Gingers do have souls!" rant (pictured below, left), with a bit of Chris Burke ("Corky" from "Life Goes On", pictured right) tossed in:   Here's a shot of James arriving at JFK airport before his big US tour a few years back:  The elderly, heavyset gentleman with the large bald spot, pulling the carry-on behind him is James. On a certain level, I can't help feeling sorry for the guy... While the family resemblance is definitely there, he managed to inherit the worst features from each parent. This didn't happen to his sisters, who came out looking normal. But somehow James, the obviously much-yearned for boy, turned out a little off... If there are no whispers of chromosome damage from his parents' intensive pot use (he was born right about their time of peak usage), I am surprised. His music is so weird; it really is devoid of any shred of personality. Just a bland guy with a bland guitar singing bland songs. His interviews are bizarre; he may well be somewhere on the autism spectrum, perhaps to a significant degree: I can't for the life of me understand this guy. He apparently had a major falling-out with dad, and spent some years after his mom's death on drugs, but says the relationship is much better now. Some YouTube viewer left a comment on one of his videos, saying how much he is "developing" as a songwriter and how he shows real promise. To this, I can only say he had better be developing and showing promise; he's forty years old. At his age, dear old dad had already completed his careers in the Beatles and Wings... His sisters had the sense to find other careers, in fashion and as a TV presenter... But for whatever reason, this sweaty, pudgy, bald cipher of a talent has chosen this road to travel. I feel a little bad saying mean things about him though. He seems inoffensive. Contrary to what a lot of SHites may think, being born the son of Paul McCartney probably is not nearly as much fun as it sounds. Being Vince Neil's kid is probably more fun. |

James: Yeah Thom is on the album too.
Interviewer: Which Tom is that now?
James: Thom Yorke (visually seething at this stage)
So funny.

If all the Beatle sons got together and formed a band, he would be the Mal Evans of the group.

I had no idea this guy existed until this thread. I thought Antiram's avatar was some creepy photoshop of Paul. No shit. Same here |

Yeah, I thought he was just some random dude who kinda sorta was born with some McCartney features.
Turns out he's Ser Paul ov Teh Boomertard's legitimate son? Fuck me.

Looks like a cross between Pops McCartney and Bobcat Goldthwait:  |

I almost feel sorry for the guy after watching that interview. He's not very bright or talented, and has obviously had a lifetime of his narcissistic dad needling him about what a grave disappointment he is. Had MDC not gone for the gusto in 1980, this likely would have been true for Sean Lennon. |

At least one of the Lennon-spawn did some shit with Cibo Matto. That's gotta count for something. Cuz Cibo Matto are awesomesauce.

Every time I've seen him on the news, he's tagging along with Yoko for some sort of event – all the time decked out in glasses and duds his dad might have worn. So, props to him if he was able to do something without having to fall back on his last name. |

I used to hate that jaded club rat of a Lennon spawn; I used to call him the ultimate slacker, a pampered boarding school kid whose rich friends made his albums for him. His first albums weren't exactly awful, but they were the kind of derivative shit you'd expect from Rufus Wainright's less-talented best friend. However, over the last ten years or so, he has turned into a reasonably decent third-tier musician. I think his stint in the Ono-led Plastic Ono Band (which also included Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto) in 2009-2010 taught him a few things, as did his buddy Thurston Moore. He's done some weird but mildly interesting projects in the last few years. Perhaps his best is one that I don't even think the SHites are aware of. A psychedelic one-off album as Mystical Weapons, which teamed him with the drummer from Deerhoof in 2013: I'd say that among all Beatle offspring, Sean Lennon has clawed his way up to second best musician, behind Zak Starkey (I don't know how good Zak really is, but being a quasi-member of the Who and Oasis has to count for something). Julian Lennon, who went the traditionalist route of a pseudo-John before running out of songs entirely, is a distant third. It's a tossup who brings up the rear; Dhani Harrison might be even worse than our boy James here. |

Sean dated one of the gals from CM, and played on (I think) one of their records. And full disclosure; Cibo have even done things with Yoko.
They're still awesome as fuuuk though.
