In some cases, I believe.
Jokes aside, Ringo was a good drummer..
Ringo IS a very good drummer. He has said in interviews, and on the Beatles anthology CD’s that his job was to keep a solid beat, and flop his hair around.........
I was in London in ‘05 and went on a Beatles Tour. It was great! We walked around Pickadilly, went to Paul’s business offices, (we could see the gold records through an upstairs window, they had spot lights on them) Went to the (it is now a men’s clothing store) building where Apple Records was, and where the Four Lads played on the roof in Let it Be.....
Went to Trident studios, and then took the Tube out to St John’s Wood, where Abbey Road studios is located. It is still a working studio, and all types of music is recorded there. There is a white fence out in front, with graffiti painted on it. Our guide told us that every month, Abbey Road has the fence repainted white, so the Beatles fans have something new to write on.....
THEN, the really cool part. Our guide told us we could walk across the cross walk, and have our pictures taken. It began to rain, and nobody cared. Suddenly, total strangers became best friends, as we handed our cameras to someone willing, and then, (the traffic is dangerous, you have to be careful) each of us walked the cross walk to the other side of the street. Some people took their shoes off to look like Paul, and put cigs in their right hands.......I had a pretty French girl take as many pictures as she could as I walked across the street......I could just as well been walking on air........
By the way, there were three pictures taken for the album cover. The police stopped traffic for a short period of time. The photographer was on a ladder next to the street light. Two pictures were taken walking to the right, and one walking to the left.........
