Here Comes the Son

More news about the Beatles video game previously discussed here at the Cube. Turns out it was George Harrison's son, Dhani, who helped broker the deal with Apple that is making the game possible. From an article at billboard.com:

Harrison is also looking forward to another release this year -- "The Beatles: Rock Band" interactive game that's due out Sept. 9 and marks the Fab Four's first entry into the digital music distribution realm. He's been intimately involved in the project and promises it will feature "stuff that has never been heard, never been released," though he's not at liberty to reveal specifics.

"I took the project to Apple and sort of convinced everybody to have a presentation," says Harrison, who was used as a model for some of the game's characters. "My job description is...being enthusiastic. We've been working on it for the past two years. This is the first one that is going to be totally, historically accurate. It's been a real headache, but it's been the most enjoyable work I've done in my life."

In other news, Dhani Harrison looks exactly like George did when he was in his late twenties. The entire article is worth reading if you're interested in what else Dhani is doing these days. Check it out HERE.
