I mean, sure, we can all say we’re “children of the Beatles.” After all, almost all of us grew up listening to their music, and at least some of us feel as though we were influenced by the Fab Four. But how many of us can say that we’re their actual children? None of us. There are, however, 16 individuals who can say that they are literally the children of The Beatles.
Most are their biological children, but a few were adopted or are their step-children. In the list below, you can not only see the unmistakable similarity between the sons and daughters and their fathers, but you can see that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. A lot of these Beatles descendent – some still young, some mature adults – are pretty talented music artists themselves.

A correction.
Used to be into rock. Now into country.
Country fan?
Look up Hank Williams and Rufus Payne (teetot).
Uhh....sure
Interesting
MTV was first aired on my local cable station, in NJ only. Pretty funny. A girl in my high school class eventually went to work for them in the mid 80s. She said they had absolutely no budget.
When they got stars like Pete Townsend and Pat Benatar to say “I want my MTV”, they asked Mick Jagger to do one. He said “how much are you going to pay me?” They guy from MTV said “pay you? this is for your benefit?” Jagger said “I don’t do anything without getting paid. It’s in my contract”. So the guy from MTV pulled a buck out of his pocket and laid it on the table. Jagger put the buck in his pocket and said “I want my MTV” to the camera and left.
Whatever you say Gramps.
When the average listener, the “punter” as they say, says this or that one is a hack or sucks it’s more or less true. The punter knows what he likes and doesn’t like and that’s that. He’s his own authority.
Moreover I can easily imagine people not liking the Beatles or thinking they might not quite have had all of the talent attributed to them.
But when you call anyone “hack” in a profession you practice and then fail to provide hot links to what amounts to YOUR authority, your own example of what the Beatles SHOULD have done or how they should have done it, you’re kinda’ leaveing out a little something that detracts from any sense of respect for you.
You get checks in the mail for music you were involved in? Writing, producing, arranging, recording? As they say on GearSlutz (a pro audio website) “let’s hear it. “
Jason Starkey and Dhani Harrison look just like the dads.
I still love them and still love their post-Beatles work. People make fun of Paul’s group Wings, but they had a lot of great songs.
Started to listen to country from the time of the late great Charlie Daniels (RIP/MEMORY ETERNAL ) and later.
Talentless hacks.
Come on, we all had a favorite Beatle.
Mine was George Harrison.
An example of a “talentless hack” playing bass and singing “Coming Up” live. There are many similar examples of these “talentless hacks” on You Tube.

If you have a smartphone,download the WSM 650 AM App, broadcast from Nashville.
From 64 to 68, they released an album about every 6 months, each markedly different in style. Nowadays, bands go years in between album releases.
They ruled butt buggery. Here are the two biggest queers on the planet dancing in the street.
I love them all. Deadpan George was very funny in “A Hard Day’s Night.”
The Girl That I Love--The Beatles (1965)
One of their biggest hits was "Do the Freddy," a dance tune. Freddy's description in the song of his eponymous dance resembled the calisthenic exercise known as Jumping Jacks, so when we were assigned to do Jumping Jacks in our physical education class, we called them Freddys.
