Title: The Beatles: The Next Generation
Post by: mike a on April 03, 2012, 01:20:05 PM: http://music-mix.ew.com/2012/04/03/jame-mccartney-the-beatles-the-next-generation/ (http://music-mix.ew.com/2012/04/03/jame-mccartney-the-beatles-the-next-generation/)

This would consist of Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison, James McCartney and Zak Starkey (who is wisely holding out on this travesty, seeing as how he has an actual career playing w/the likes of The Who and Oasis).

Bigger potential trainwreck: this or "Pleasure Island: A Rock Fantasy?"

OK then, I am enthusiastic about it.
