It's funny how you mention the Beatles.

Just heard a show on NPR this morning about Rockband Beatles being released tomorrow.

This is variation of Guitar Hero (or the same company any way).

I used to dismiss it as corrupting the next generation. But after hearing the story about how younger generations get to share this music with our generation. And how it gives you a “taste” of playing an instrument which for some folks is enough to inspire them to take up real instruments. It also teaches you a lot about the music itself. It turned my opinion around. As one commentary said, it sure beats having kids kill each other in Video games.

It sounds pretty cool and the “game” grows up with the Beatles and they grow more facial hair as the game advances etc. All the current Beatles were involved in developing it including Yoko Ono.

Sorry for the off topic comment, but I couldn't help mention it when you started a thread on Beatles.

Actually after hearing some of the songs on the show I'm tempted to get the full boxed set myself (I only have a few odd albums now).

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
