RAIN played the DECC Symphony Hall last night and I was there with my son Sam, who is a huge Beatles fan. On the way to the venue, we played all of our favorite Beatles tunes to get in the mood and brush up on our harmonies. Once the show started we were cast back in time.

This is a bad idea. What would they do? If they do original music, Sean Lennon bombed with his music, Dhani Harrison has only worked on his father's music, James McCartney has no track record with music, and Jason Starkey only played in Ringo's band maybe a couple of times and hasn't even made a name for himself, let alone public pictures.

Many young naive musicians are coaxed into bad deals by record labels and publishers to give up rights in order to get a record contract. The Beatles were one of those groups.

My son Sam, is named after Sammy Hagar, a small Van Halen reference that I could use, and thanks to my wife, won the first name of Sam. Without being pushed, he has a huge love of music like I do. He loves the Beatles, KISS, Van Halen, Michael Jackson, Led Zepplin, SpongeBob, Yo Gabba Gabba, and the Fresh Beat Band.

John Lennon once gave a tooth of his to a house keeper and told her to dispose of it. Then changed his mind and told her to keep it, that it might be worth money someday. What a prediction that was.
