Many commentators on John’s life have said that John would never have married me if I hadn’t been pregnant. In the film Backbeat I was portrayed as a clingy, dim little girlfriend in a headscarf. Totally wrong, of course. Quite apart from anything else I never wore a headscarf. -Cynthia Lennon

The closest person in my life, who is everything for me, who guided me and who helped me find myself, was my mother. She was always that kind of person that let you resolve your problems yourself. I mean, if you really couldn't do it she would help. But I had to figure out things myself and that was important, she sort of let me be. -Julian Lennon

People say Cynthia was a mundane, hometown girl, 'mumsy' - your average Mrs Liverpool. That's a load of nonsense. Cynthia was a highly talented woman in her own right. She painted, she drew, she sculpted, she designed. -Julia Baird

         “This was a seminal moment in history; a day burned into our collective consciousness. The performance could not have come at a better time. The country was in a deep emotional depression after the John F. Kennedy assassination, and Americans were eager for anything to lift ourselves from that funk. What we saw changed everything. The long hair, the sharp suits, the cute well-scrubbed faces, the infectious personality, the audience of hysterical teenage girls, and the music… Oh their magnificent music! Beatlemania, broadcast live, right in our own home. We were absolutely transfixed. The next day at school, everyone was talking about the show. We had an innate feeling that The Beatles were a real game changer. We were right. The Beatles conversation carried on through the day, the week, and, well, for the next fifty years.          So, what was it that made the Beatles so great? The harmonies were wonderful, the musicianship was incredibly tight. But most of all, they wrote songs that were beyond legendary. And they made it look so easy. Lennon and McCartney no doubt had a gift from God. They were our generation’s Mozart.          As the 1960’s continued, my generation grew with the Beatles. We grew from the early career pop songs, to more soulful introspection of Rubber Soul, to the eclectic mix of Revolver, to the psychedelic of Sgt. Pepper’s and Magical Mystery Tour, to the complete and harmonious body of work that in and of itself was a concerto: Abbey Road. That day in February 1964 changed the world musically, culturally and philosophically. The Beatles were not great for a single moment, but for generations. The Liverpool Lads took us on their broad shoulders and ushered us into a new era.” - Live for Live Music
