Pop Quiz: Sean Lennon


Aidin Vaziri | You can't blame Sean Lennon for being a little sensitive. He is the son of John and Yoko and half-brother of Julian. And on his new album, "Friendly Fire," the follow-up to 1998's "Into the Sun," he details how ex-girlfriend Bijou Phillips cheated on him with his childhood best friend, Max LeRoy, who was subsequently killed in a motorcycle accident before they had a chance to reconcile. The disc also includes a DVD with videos for each song, featuring a cast of famous friends, including Lindsay Lohan, Jordana Brewster, Devon Aoki, Asia Argento and Phillips. Just don't ask him to drop names.

Q: Do you call anyone for advice?
A: Do I ever call anyone for advice? That's a really stupid question, dude.
Q: It is?
A: Well, I mean, "Do you ever call anyone for advice?" It's so vague. Have you ever called anyone for advice? Yes, sure. I mean, what are you trying to say? Do I call celebrities that might be interesting for me to give you an anecdote about?
Q: That's what people want to read.
A: You're so transparent, dude. Get over it. Why don't you just say, "Do you ever call celebrities?" You didn't say that because that sounded too stupid. You had to say it in this sort of backhanded way.
Q: Wait, let me rephrase it: "Do you ever call celebrities?"
A: It's just such a dumb question I can't even dignify it with an answer, dude.
