Ringo to Reg: I must be a Starr (Ringo Starr Walks Off "Live With Regis...")

It’s been 37 years since Ringo Starr was a Beatle but he apparently hasn’t forgotten how to be a diva.

Starr walked off the set of “Live with Regis and Kelly” yesterday rather than cut short one of his songs.

Still, [Ringo's fellow rocker Dave] Stewart blasted the show for trying to force “Ringo’s musical legacy (to) take a back seat to additional banter about the size of Ms. Ripa’s derriere.”

I was in the service and if that music was beauty I missed it completly. It just reminded me of being called baby killer when outside the gate by those long haired stinking hippys who listened to that crap.

I might go as far as to say Farrah seems to be the best looking at this point and she is what 65?

"I got tired of the Beatles when the first time I heard them,"

How special for you!

You have really accomplished something to be proud of, and thank you for letting all us Freepers know about this very important aspect of your life. (sarc off)

The reporter is a complete jerk! Who the hell even books a 4 1/2 minute song for only two minutes? That’s ridiculous! Regis producer to Michelangelo: Sorry, but we were hoping David would be three feet tall, tops. Maybe you could chop off the top half?

[Blue Highway]

Or worse still producer to Michelangelo: We want you to reproduce the Sisteen Chapel in our studio and you will have 2 1/2 minutes to do it. Michelangelo wants to compromise to get at least 5 minutes and he is literally thrown under the bus for questioning the producer.

[Piquaboy]

And what were you doing that was so important back when they were popular?

Some of the best popular recordings ever made run from just under two to two and a half minutes. How long would he sing it in a live show?

[Badeye]

The dumb Beatle threw a hissy fit, huh?

Big deal.

[Hoof Hearted]

"Never a fan of the drug induced, wife beating, USA criticizing twerps from England. They have always rode on the coat tails of adolescent girls and the Japanese. In my book. once separated the world found out what they truely were and they all became flash in the pans. I never laughed so hard as I did at Mc Cartneys Super bowl blundering performance.

" Are you 'series'? If you never laughed so hard at this, what would you do if you saw actually something funny?

" It rated right up there with Hillary’s crying."

Hillary's crying won the primary for her, but you think ...well, I can't tell what you think because your post makes no sense."

There are some Dem candidates who could use your talent to invent and spin their lies, too.

The "post-Beatle" Beatles were "a flash in the pan?..riiiiight....There are many record company accounting departments who can easily prove that you could not possibly be more wrong.

[Hoof Hearted]

"

the Beatles: 2 down, 2 to go."

You are right!

Once Paul and Ringo are gone, then no one will ever listen to a Beatle recording anymore, just like when Elvis, Buddy Holly or some other major rock star croaks.

Hey wait a minute! Didn't Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison and all the other rockers who met an early demise become even more popular after their deaths?

But as I said, you're right...this could not possibly happen with the Beatles, could it?

[Wavrnr10]

You obviously a shut in that contributes all his spare time to Hillary’s campaign. Explaining anything to someone like you is like telling Baghdad Bob he is losing the war. If it wasn’t for the American juveniles they would have beat it back to UK with their Moe haircuts and been nothing. Thats why they stayed in the US.....because of blinded lemmings like your self boosting their popularity because you obviously have no taste for real music.....I bet you voted for Kerry too didn’t ya?

[Greystoke]

Yeah, thankfully, especially that commie John Lennon.

[Hoof Hearted]

"And what were you doing that was so important back when they were popular?"

The same thing I'm doing now. And they are still popular. Sales figure are readily available from the recording industry.

[Greystoke]

The sure helped make the world a better place eh? And those wonderful sixties. See? you and the Clinton’s do have something in common; your love of the Beatles.

[Piquaboy]

A lot of Hippy’s are still alive even yet that’s why. Let me guess what you were doing back then. You were an astronaut and stiil are.

Not a bit like Cagney.........

"Well...in hindsight..."

BWWAHAAAAAA!!!

Well, someone had to say it.

...may as well been you. :o)

[Lee'sGhost]

I gotta say, I’d much rather hear about Ms. Ripa’s butt than whatever “Mr. Conductor” is doing.
