Oh man, I can see my kids now, howling with laughter as their ancient Mom rocks out to Renaissance Man......"Mom, stop.  Just stop.  That is SOOOOOO wrong."

  My wife put a gun to my head and FORCED me to get Rock Band for the
  Wii. O.K. - it was not that dramatic, but she made the executive
  decision to by Rock Band when it went on sale at TRU this weekend. She
  has played it at friends houses several times, and in general she
  enjoys the music oriented games more than any other kind. It was my
  first time on Rock band today, and since I play guitar very badly, I
  decided that when I play the game I should play drums. 

  This has been a tough decision because Guitar Hero World Tour (GHIV)
  is supposed to come out in November. This competing product is similar
  to Rock Band in that it has Drum, Guitar, Vocals and Bass. 

  However, GHIV is supposed to have something NEW. A musical EDITOR, so
  people can create their own music files. Supposedly the one thing than
  CANNOT be done is a vocal track - so that you don't run into copyright
  problems.

  Now, if break down during the holidays and get Guitar Hero World
  Tour, how many of you gaming enthusiasts out there with a Wii are
  going to work on giving me Rock Band Style experience with some Oils
  Tunes? C'mon - I know you all want it! are you ready to indulge in the
  fantasy?
