Jude-not Julian Lennon

I was counting on some additional "facts" on the song's  inspiration.

One thing for certain, the Beatles are one of the few bands with endearing  fans that have "facts."

@jtcf + 1.  If those are 'facts', he should have plenty of proof. I eagerly await it.  

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, obviously about LSD? Except it was never about LSD. It was about a picture of Lucy, in the sky, with Diamonds.

I'd like to believe what the article mentions-

“Hey Jude,” which Paul McCartney wrote to comfort Julian when John Lennon was separating from Julian’s mother, Cynthia. Julian was only 5 years old at the time and didn’t grasp the message of the song — which was originally titled “Hey Jules"- as at least some  inspiration for the song.

@mattmiller It’s common knowledge, uttered many times by Paul and John over the last 50-odd years, that “Hey Jude” was inspired by Paul’s empathy for Julian (a young boy who never really saw his dad that much to begin with) having his dad go be with another woman in lieu of maintaining the nuclear family.
