Post by Anniemouse » Tue Jun 21, 2022 5:57 pm

Was Jason born and raised close to any of the birthplaces of The Beatles?.

He mentioned it in an interview once, but I don't remember which one, now.
I'm afraid that I don't quite remember, but I think he said that he grew up quite close to where John Lennon lived... or that his school was close to it...

Sorry, not much in help in me today....

This is why I asked as I always thought he was not far from where John Lennon grew up but cannot find the evidence.

I found the answer in an old Reader's Digest article. Yes, he grew up around the corner from John Lennon:

Of course there is a huge age difference, and John Lennon would most likely not have been there by the time Jason was born in 1963. John was married to Cynthia in 1962.

I just realised Jason & John's son Julian Lennon are almost exactly the same age - Julian was born 8 April 1963 in Liverpool.

This article says John moved out in mid 1963, so he must have been there for a while when he was first married. I know he & Cynthia got married because she was pregnant.
