nice photo
This is obviously why he support civil rights for the Catholics in Northern Ireland, he had ancestry there. He used to be involved in the protests in the 70s.
nice one follers. I read Paul McCartney has Manx ancestry, is it true?
Yes.
having kind of small eyes doesn`t make someone Asian. Epicanthal eyelid can be seen in some ppl of Russia that do have mongoloid ancestry besides other typical Asian features(flat noses, cheekbone structure etc). Lennon was 100% celt ( his half sister Julia has said so ) his dad`s side Irish and his mum`s Welsh
Could you go into a little more detail on John Lennon? After all he was the founding member and leader of the most famous and successful pop/rock group ever. Paul McCartney at least has a bio and photo.
Thanks!
follers you should re-edit both Lennon-McCartney profiles, there’s a lot of material, and obviously manage to find a pic for John!
