70? dang.

[pnh102]

Paul McCartney died... again?

[Oztrich Boy]

Actually you could still form a Beatles Fab Four: Ringo Starr, Pete Best, Chas Newby, and Jimmy Nicol. There just wouldn’t be any musicians there.

Ringo’s so cool

[screaminsunshine]

When Ringo quits so will I.

[Tanniker Smith]

Time flies. But generations can be defined by three simple questions:

It's gone from "Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings???"
to "Paul McCartney was in a band???"
to "Who's Paul McCartney???"

... in what seems like moments.

By the way, this is one of my favorite songs by a former Beatle with his new band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8s9dmuAKvU

[I still care]

I always liked Ringo’s music sense. I just wish he could hold a tune. :) As a singer, he always made me wince.

But I do like his song choices. Amazon has a MP3 of his on sale for $5 today, and I may buy it.

Then you have to take responsibility for not knowing how to spell beetle.

You have to read the article.

I tracked down the sketch he mentioned.

It’s after the 11 minute mark when Mccartney chimes in.

It even has Bieber even though he isn’t a Brit

Last time I looked Paul was still alive.

Misleading title..click the link and read the article.

[pnh102]

Paul is Dead.

[Revolting cat!]

Yes, it’s great, though I’ll be the first one and for the first eve3r time to say that Dylan can’t sing (and neither can his imitator Petty). Couldn’t they get better backup singers?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Maybe Ringo has Paul in his Dead Pool list.

[Snickering Hound]

"Rat uh Rie!"

[FourPeas]

Changing the title is a no-no.

The real title is:

'Paul likes to think he's the only remaining Beatle': Ringo Starr on why the world's most famous band was lucky to have him

I once was close to a session player who played on Ringo’s albums and on some of the albums Lennon produced. She said Ringo was one of the nicest, most comfortable in his skin people she ever met and that Lennon was a complete jerk. Actually quite a bit beyond jerk—but I don’t post using the vocabulary she used to describe him. She was a very forgiving person usually. But she had to work with him regularly for quite a while and he really got under her skin.
