I saw him about a decade ago, he doesn’t come around these parts but once every 30 years it seems.
I’ve seen Ringo, Paul, and Pete.
Ringo had John Entwhistle and some others in the All-Stars the year I saw him.
His fame is a trade off. He wouldn’t have become big without the fans and he wouldn’t have gotten into the same circle of influence as his wife if he hadn’t been famous.
He’s still dependent on people buying his new albums. Is there still an official Ringo fan club after this announcement?
It’s not like he’s trying to win over new audiences to his newest material.
The first time I saw Ringo was, if I remember correctly, his first All-Starr tour around 1989. He had Joe Walsh, Nils Lofgren, Dr. John, Billy Preston, Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Jim Keltner, Clarence Clemons and Todd Rundgren. Now that's an All-Starr lineup!
