Welcome to another episode of the series, Buck's Favorite Rock Band, where we explore all things Beatles.  If Buck were alive he'd be eagerly awaiting the release of yet another "new" Beatles song that will be made possible via the wonders of modern technology.  It will be a song entitled Now and Then, written, and partially recorded in 1978 by John Lennon.  Paul will hook up with Ringo in the studio to add fresh tracks, and George Harrison's guitar will be "gently weeping" on the track, due for release this year. 

I'd like to dedicate the following song, from my forthcoming CD, The BLT in BeaTLES to the late George Harrison, and his highly anticipated "gently weeping" guitar track on Now and Then.

Bye George (sample)

    I hadn't heard anything about this until I read this blog entry. Even though I liked "Free As a Bird," I'm somewhat concerned about them doing another Lennon song in the same manner, labeling something clearly written during his solo career as "the Beatles". It strikes me a sales gimmick, and sure enough, reading the Wikipedia entry on the song, it says the song release is meant to herald (finally) the Beatles catalog being made available for legal digital downloading. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_and_Then_%28song%29

    The entry, assuming it is accurate, also said George Harrison did not want to participate in finishing Lennon's song, as it would have required too much input from other writers, thereby distorting Lennon's intention for the song.

    I'm a big fan of Queen, and it's bothered me somewhat to see two of the band members continue performing under that name, when, in my opinion, the band should have come to a graceful closure upon Freddie Mercury's death. Likewise with the remaining two former Beatles, I'd prefer that they avoid things that may cheapen or exploit their band's tremendous legacy.
