It's scary how much he sounds like his Dad in this song! I would definitely love to see The Beatles' sons in a band though. It doesn't hurt to try. :)

Talk about big music news: Paul McCartney's son James says he would consider forming The Beatles -- The Next Generation with Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison and Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr's son).
"I don't think it's something that Zak wants to do," he told the BBC. "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."
Asked, "Do you think it could happen?" James responded: "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."
Naturally, James' quotes nearly broke the Internet, forcing him to clarify his comments on his Facebook page:
"Hi Everyone...well, looks like quite some attention being given to my BBC interview! Honestly, I was just thinking out loud about playing with Beatles family friends, nothing more. My band's going to be on tour in the UK and US for most of this year, and the shows are going great! I'm so grateful…Lots of love to you all…!"

Also, off topic, why is Ziggy Marley on this list and not Damian Marley?! Damian is, without a doubt, the most popular and talented son of Bob Marley.
Accomplished back up singer and musician in all venues of music including heavy metal, hard rock, blues and country western!!
I think this idea is interesting, but it won't work if they force it. Maybe they need to jam for awhile before they jump into such a thing.
I didn`t even know that Paul McCartney had a son. He looks alot like his Dad.
She writes, sings, plays guitar and of course piano too.
As for The Beatles-The Next Generation, that sounds like a bad Saturday morning cartoon.
But how about the Seatles, Sons of the Beatles !!!!
