@@allymayful well, while I can’t speak for Julia, I would say it is because as she says in interviews, she just knew John as john, her brother. And it was the rest of the world that went crazy over them, and adored everything they did. I include myself in this, I/we would be happy to even have a film of them sitting on a bench staring at the wall… And while magical mystery tour features these four guys and their music that we love so much, it is hardly “one of the best films ever made”…. so as John‘s sister, she probably shares Johns feelings of “we’re just a band, who made it very, very big, thats all” take on the Beatles. She’s obviously a bit cultured as well, so she bristles a bit when people place unrealistic praise, or inappropriate praise on a song, film or any project that they may have done, just because we have this great love for them and their work. we could say; “I really love magical mystery tour because it has the Beatles and their music in it”….. but we wouldn’t necessarily have to say it’s “one of the best films ever made” … not saying that, wouldn’t have to take away from our appreciation of the film, we can still love it just as much because it’s them… It doesn’t detract from their value to not hail that movie as one of the greatest piece of art ever.

First of all, MMT was very Avant-Garde type & not meant to be conventional in the first place. It’s a made for TV musical film, not a motion picture. Listed as comedy/surreal humor. Paul called MMT a success failure when interviewed by David Frost in 1967, also stating, he quite liked it, admitting it was “bitty” but was supposed to be like that but people were looking for a plot but there wasn’t one. What McCartney has since said about MMT if he was indeed ever asked, I’ve not read anything about that. McCartney conceived of the film & has been credited with leading the project. Now it has a cult following because it was The Beatles featured in the film along w/of course providing a Beatle music soundtrack

I loved this interview! What a soul!

I'm glad to see John's half sister she seems nice and my comment also is I didn't know interviewers ask so many personal questions now I can dig where The Beatles are coming from about interviewers

what a great interview!! I love that she thinks so much of John's lyrics being stories of his life - particularly his solo songs. They are all stories!! How many people actually listen to those amazing lyrics as deeply as Julia and myself have. Every time I hear John's songs and listen to the "stories" I shake my head in awe. How can anyone turn their life into poetry? He was a genius poet!

An excellent interview. Julia projected many thoughts of what it was really like and may have been like. An inside perspective of John and Beatles soul.

Loved this, really wonderful, so interesting. Thank you.

Thank you for a very interesting interview ❣️

Pretty girl. Lots to say, but in a good spirit. I hope she had a good life and a great marriage like I did until my spouse passed. I hope she is happy and her kids bring her joy. God Bless you Julia.

Amazing interview.. so insightful.. I was born in 1973.. discovered the Beatles around 1984 or 85 Abouts.. I had 45s of Twist and Shout, Please Please Me, I should have known better, there’s a place.. I was about 12 or 13 years old or so. My parents had a box of 8-tracks and I would sit on the floor with these gigantic headphones on and listen to Magical Mystery Tour and take note of how the train world go from one side to the other and just stare at the bazar cover. My friends mom down the street gave me the White album record a few years later and I would set the speakers up on my desk and put my head in between the speakers and sing “Across the Universe.” And “Julia” totally immersed..

John Lennon turned out to be more musical than we thought...He played the guitar, the piano. the mouth organ. If he had lived on he probably would have went on to play keyboard & synth. I couldn't even play the recorder at high school. But was good at writing poetry after i left because i had the time.

I think the Beatles were very weary of too much popularity. That is why John made the Jesus comment. He was just telling the truth. I don't think he wanted to be hated over the comment, just a break. John did promote peace on earth, even though he was a rebel.

I'm confused. John Lennon looked like his father and nothing like his mother. Julia Baird is his half-sister. They share the same mother. And yet, Julia also looks like John's father and nothing like her mother. So WTF is going on here?
