No. Just... No

Fortunately, it's far from a serious plan, and probaby just the media blowing shit out of proportion like always, but still. If this turned out to be a disaster (and it would), the kids would commit the travesty of cheapening the work of their fathers. This must not happen.

Dude, this is old news. And personally, I don't mind. Frankly, nothing at all can cheapen The Beatles' legacy. Plus, most of their sons are excellent musicians themselves. I mean, have you heard thenewno2?

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Basically what 0dd1 said. At worst this is a lame publicity stunt. At best, it is an attempt by established musicians to get together and make music. What the Beatles have done has already been done. Nothing can undo that.

Mc Cartney’s remarks seem more like a casual remark made during an interview than an actual announcement of a launch

Also LOL at people hating on Paul McCartney in the comments.

Even if they would form a band, who cares? All of the Beatle-offspring's music sounds quite different from their parents.

But if they could, that would be one hell of a publicity stunt. Just imagine, every time the Beatles2.0 release a song, a Beatles song gets deleted from Apple Records' back catalogue. Forever. Whoops, there goes "Penny Lane"!

That is....not even close to how back catalogs work.

Like. It's so far from how they work you might as well be describing the mechanizations of an eggbeater.

[up][up]I'm pretty sure I would think more highly of the Beatles if Penny Lane ceased to exist. I think it's one of their weaker songs.

Well then, replace "back catalogue" with "discography" or "history" or "mankind's collective memory".
