Has anyone ever heard something of Sean? I must admit I never did. What's it sound like?

Lennon produced a short film for each of the album's tracks, directed by Michele Civetta, featuring appearances by Lindsay Lohan, Bijou Phillips, Asia Argento, Devon Aoki, Carrie Fisher, Jordana Brewster and others.

He plays various characters in the film -- about betrayal and the failure of love -- including a red-coated swordsman and a skate-rental worker.

A trailer for the film can be viewed online. (http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/capi001/seanlennon/friendlyfiretrailer/friendlyfiretrailer_v300.asx)

Good luck to him. Seems to me to be a bit of little rich kids jacking-off. Hope it's not a triumph of style over substance.

He's terrible, but he has license to create his art because of his last name, and that his Mother has pretty much declared everything is art, even a rotting apple. Especially though, if he wasn't John Lennon's Son--no one would take notice.

At least, he has not flooded the market.

I'm actually quite fond of baby Lennon's music. He definitely has talent, IMO. I'll undoubtedly be purchasing this album.

I just dont like the kid, but I have to admit that I found the music on that trailor to be good. I'll probably pick this up to check out, but I wont admit it to anybody.

[The End]

On the release of his previous album, I remember reading that he thought Beatle fans were ruining his music career.
