EXIT LINES

Singer-songwriter Julian Lennon says that he’s learned to separate himself from the legend of his late Beatle father, John Lennon, and wishes other people would too. “I’ve only basically come to terms with it in the last two or three years after throwing myself into this industry,” said Lennon, 26, who is touring to promote his third album, “Mr. Jordan.” “People would ask, ‘How do you feel about this shadow. . . .’ Basically, what people were saying is I’m not good enough to take Dad’s place. I’m not in competition with my father, not inside my heart. They want Dad around. I wish they’d wake up. There’s a few too many people living in the past.”
