The 22-year-old son of Yoko Ono and the late John Lennon recently followed in his parents' musical footsteps with his debut solo album, Into The Sun. He plays the Molson Amphitheatre Wednesday with headliner Beck and Ben Folds Five. But last month, when New Yorker magazine reportedly quoted him out of context about his father's 1980 assassination being part of a U.S. government conspiracy, the headlines eclipsed Into The Sun and the singer regretted saying anything at all. "I don't regret it anymore," Lennon says recently, over the phone from hometown New York City. "People know how I feel, now that it's kind of cooled over a little bit." The experience also taught Lennon a bit about media manipulation, a task his dad mastered after his own famous misquote about The Beatles being bigger than Jesus. Lennon Jr.'s conspiracy theories are a tough sell. Then again, my father wasn't murdered when I was six. It is well-documented, however, that the U.S. government did a lot of snooping and sliming in order to have John Lennon deported in the early '70s.
