"I Say It Just to Reach You"

Last year I wrote about Sean Lennon's BBC interview with Paul McCartney:

How strange it must be to hear from someone so connected with your father for so long, when you yourself were only 5 when he was killed. For instance, the moment Sean realizes that Paul is the first person he's ever spoken to who had actually met John's mother, Julia.

Meanwhile, according to this article from some site I've never heard of will presumably never see again, Paul McCartney says what his LEAST favorite John Lennon song is, and it's Julia:

Though, the ex-Beatle admitted “Julia” as his least favorite. The number was penned by Lennon about his late mother in 1958 when the musician was a teenager. “Julia is about the mother he couldn’t live with. So I loved the poignancy of it. Because I was with him at Julia’s house to visit her, and I knew how deeply he loved her. So, I choose Julia,” he revealed.

INteresting - what Paul says here, makes you think he would actually like the song. And he doesn't say anything about why he doesn't like it, or anything about it as an actual song. Whack.
