Many thanks to my good friend S-Frog for making sure I didn't miss yesterday's op-ed page of the Old Grey Lady. Yes, there where the incomprehensible polemics about Albany usually are, a mad rant about the much rumoured Beatles video game.
First of all, a Beatles video game would be brilliant, but more on that in sec.
The blogosphere is buzzing about one section in particular: "For fans of a certain age, those of us who literally grew up with the Beatles, the idea produces a certain sense of loss."
What? This only underscores the stereotype that Baby Boomers are now a bunch of geezers who hate change.
According to S-Frog, who has his finger on the pulse of these things (and remains the grooviest number I know) the game is going to be fantastic. "You will be able to play as one of the Beatles with facsimiles of their famous Rickenbacker and Hofner guitars and the graphics will progress from Hamburg up to Abbey Road."
Do you hear that? You'll be in a virtual Cavern Club playing "I Saw Her Standing There." You'll be in the studio playing, "All You Need is Love," with all those flower children at your feet. You'll be on a London rooftop with Billy Preston playing, "Get Back."
No sense of loss there.
