Sean Taro Ono Lennon was born October 9th, 1975...on his daddys 35th birthday!! Ever so sadly though, as we all know, John was brutally killed (Mark David..ill kill you bastard!) on December 8th, 1980. But Sean shined on (and the moon and the stars and the sun) and today is a hot new musical act, bringing his own style of music onto the scene, and a new meaning to the family name
I first became aware of Sean after I got heavily into the Beatles. John always being my favorite, I studied up on his family through books and the regular shite. I saw all those incredibly KEWTE baby pictures of him..and those nice teenage clips of him in that movie "Imagine" (hehe he was a silly teen!!) I didnt know he was into music though until 3 years ago when I saw him at a free Central Park concert where he was performing with Cibo Matto and his mommy, Yoko (ooooh yoko). Before the show I bought a Cibo Matto shirt (before even HEARING them, cos the shirt was sooo incredibly cool!) and Sean was out signing autographs! I got his autograph on this little Keroppi book and I distinctly remember him saying "I like this paper, its kewte" 50 billion different things raced through my mind at this moment. Like..
Ignore that last one if you will....*nervous laughter*. Anyways that was my one Sean Lennon meeting and maybe one day Ill scan the autograph and the crappy picture I got of him (I was so nervous I could hardly work the camera and my hand kept shaking and by the time i took it he had turned away! sad!). All I can say is...oooh baby I love your ways.. (oh my GOD. Did I just quote a really bad 80s song?? The things I do for you..Sean)
I recently saw Sean in concert at the 9:30 Club. It was July 12, 1998. I was...in awe! He was just too great! I was there with my best friend Sarah, her awesome cousin Beth, and my wonderfully wonderful boyfriend Mat. Rufus Wainwright (another kewte) opened for him..gee i might have to make a kewtness page for him too! Anyways..when Sean came out he did this really awesome thing with his band mates (like Yuka and Tim and whatnot) like this buddha type thing. Sorry that must really sound retarded..buddha type thing..but that's what it was! I swear it! Then they broke into..into..Home?? Yes! Home. That's it! They did lots of other songs and we even got some pics of him. They look like crap, but Ill scan em anyways!! Oh well..it was an evening to remember..and by the end of it all my boyfriend was pleased with the show, and incredibly jealous :)
