In what could turn out to be a fascinating experiment in the nature vs. nurture debate, news broke this week that the offspring of the Beatles might be starting a band together.

It’s highly unlikely that their work will rise above being a cheesey gimmick act, but the idea is nonetheless delicious. You just have to wonder whether they could even come close to creating the same magic that their fathers were able to. Again, it’s highly unlikely, as The Beatles were a cultural phenomona that were almost as much a product of perfect timing as they were about talent.

Either way, it would be, like, you know, neat.

And, once again, Julian Lennon is the unwanted son. Someone throw this kid a bone!
