production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

The vibe difference between how my Harmonix family talks about the Beatles in this excerpt and how the other company talks about the process is the reason Harmonix was chosen to make the game. No one else could have done it. Greatest music game of all time imo.
"Directing The Beatles: Rock Band is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life."
"That looks stupid." How Harmonix made The Beatles: Rock Band
A new book excerpt reveals how Harmonix, MTV Games, and Electronic Arts teamed up with The Beatles for a rare video game collaboration.
