Hi, y'all.  I'm 62 years old, so I remember the Beatles when I was a kid, and I just saw Paul McCartney live 3 years ago.  In that spirit, I listened to a podcast interview today with John Lennon's son, Sean Lennon, just with music in mind.

Boy, was I surprised.  It turns out that Sean Lennon, while a good musician in his own right like his brother Julian Lennon is, too, is also a wise man when it comes to our PTSD.  It's obvious that he would in hindsight now after listening to him talk about it, but the murder of his dad when he was a kid was a huge trauma in his life.  Since I am a war child raised in a war zone abroad as a missionary kid, childhood trauma's something I've worked on in my PTSD recovery, too.

Just thought I'd share the surprise that he believes, like I do, that working on trauma and recovery yields PTSD wisdom, too.  It was very positive to hear, but very credible, as well, not pie in the sky stuff, but very grounded and very real.

Careful, there's some foul language used in the interview and so forth, so trigger warning, ok?  But here's the link to it if anyone's interested.  It's from a French source for some reason, but the podcast plays in its original English language.  Let me know it if does anybody good like it did for me, all right?

Marc Maron PodcastEpisode 1036 - Sean Lennon

Synopsis:

"Sean Lennon admits that he was naïve about his family legacy when he began a career in music. He also admits that when he received bad reviews for his first solo record, deep down he agreed with them. Sean talks with Marc about how he grew into himself as an artist and musician, how “John and Yoko” as the world sees them are different from his dad and mom as he knows them, and how the trauma of losing his father at a young age left him with memories that will never go away. They also talk about his work with Les Claypool, scoring films, and producing for other artists, including his mom."
