Both his wives. He was also emotionally abusive towards Julian.

Thanks! I can't believe I never heard that, but I was never and ardent Lennon fan. I did, however, know about Julian. I remember the quote where he said Paul was more of a father to him than John. The fact that he looks and sounds very similar to his father seems to add insult to injury somehow. Side note: Too Late for Good-byes by Julian is one of my fave songs from the 80s.

I had forgotten about that song! And Hey Jude - one of my all time fav. songs  - was written by Paul for him. That song makes me cry every damn time and it's even worse since I read that. cry2
Beatles Hey Jude Lyrics
Songwriters: LENNON, JOHN / MCCARTNEY, PAUL
Hey jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey jude, begin,
Youre waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...
