Hopefully Braden will let me join his band some day on whatever insane games they come up with by then. <p style="color:#D0D0FF><i>(MD) I'm sure he will. And maybe by then they'll have the full immersion, 3D sensory experience. And they'll have moved up to groups like Boston or Foreigner or something.</i></p> Classics never die.

http://www.beingmichaelsdaddy.com/?p=848#comment-3236 Sniff. I don't have rockband, but I do love the Beatles. I think it's great Michael knows the words to Beatles's songs. It's hard to imagine that the surviving members of that great rock band are in their 60s. <p style="color:#D0D0FF"><i>(MD) We don't have a lot of video games, but the ones we do have are rated for all, and have been carefully chosen for enjoyment by all in our family. This one was a natural choice for them, and I am delighted that the Beatles edition is available AND so widely appreciated by my kids. Totally amazing that they can reach so many generations. Sniff.

I bet they'd like our old renditions of the Beatles songs better, though :-) <p style="color:#D0D0FF"><i>(MD) Actually, they do like our renditions pretty good.

Do the kids dance while they sing? <p style="color:#D0D0FF"><i>(MD) There are a lot of songs, some from each particular phase of the group's existence. Can't dance: the concentration level required to perform is too intense. You'll have to see it. :-)</i></p> Sounds like fun. How many songs do you have? Do the kids dance while they sing?

Not only do we have a great time playing together, but the Weasels also get great music education and an appreciation for the classics. Watching them rock out to old school tunes is incredible. <p style="color:#D0D0FF"><i>(MD) Michael calls the game "Beazle Rock Band". He had been calling it "Weasel Rock Band" for a while because he couldn't separate the often-used word "Weasel" and the relatively new "Beatle" in his mind.
