Question: why hey jude was written?
Answer: “Hey Jude,” even for the first-time listener, is unforgettable. This rock 'n' roll gem, its composer says, was inspired by the divorce of John and Cynthia Lennon, who died on Wednesday at 75. “Jude,” it turns out, is Julian Lennon — John and Cynthia's son, who was about five when his parents divorced in 1968.
