From usatoday, Imagine: Four sons of four Beatles forming a new group.
Or as New York editor Ben Greeman puts it: Here come the sons.
In an interview Monday with the BBC, James McCartney, 34, son of Paul, said he'd be "up for it."
The 34-year-old musician, who's released three EPs on his own, was asked about forming The Beatles - The Next Generation, with Sean Lennon (John's son), Dhani Harrison (George's son) and Zak Starkey [Ringo Starr's son]?
"I don't think it's something that Zak wants to do. Maybe Jason [another of Starr's sons and also drummer] would want to do it. I'd be up for it. Sean seemed to be into it, Dhani seemed to be into it. I'd be happy to do it," said James.
So does he think it could happen? "Yeah, hopefully, naturally. I don't know, you'd have to wait and see. The will of God, nature's support, I guess. So yeah, maybe."

Zak Starkey has been playing for The Who for a while now. (The touring band; Townshend calls them "Who 2.") He's all right.
Seems like a weird move to me, since they'd be inviting endless disapponted comparisons. Then again, Sean was a main force in Cibo Matto, one of my favorite bands, and he's into it.
