I love that band, but do you realize how old that “new band” is?

Based on all I’ve heard and read on the guys over the decades, I’m betting your friend’s characterizations were dead-on.

Oh yeah? Well, he'll still never be the 5th Beatle: Eddie Murphy is the 5th Beatle

Ringo had a plastic surgery, that's why!

Sadly, yes, but it's still newer than his old band.
And then there's the fact that a couple of those guys aren't around any more and haven't been for quite some time.

Pete Best turns 70 this year as well. Never forget Pete Best, the original Beatles drummer!

John’s quip about him not even being the best drummer in the Beatles was put to rest when Rolling Stone magazine recently chose Ringo as the fifth greatest rock drummer of all time.

Says something about Rolling Stone.

Ringo is a pretty average drummer, but by all accounts a pretty nice and likable guy.

Anyone here remember "The Magic Christian"? My wife claims the only reason I liked it was because of the influence of chemical mood enhancers when I watched it in the 70s.

Your wife is right. In fact at that point almost anything by Terry Southern was an acquired taste and almost none of it holds up.

I loved this. I saw it right after red nose day. The George Michael part was hilarious and - Gordon Brown!! I think you have to watch a lot of BBC America to truly appreciate how funny it was.

I haven't watched it in many, many years. You're probably right, but it seemed funny at the time.

Well,that’s “greatest” not “best.”

Big difference.

I see kids, including pre-teens, wearing Beatles t-shirts all the time. At least they’re learning some of the classics!

I thought this thread was about Ringo not Yassir Arafat.
