Rings has been eminently likable from Day 1 with The Beatles, and now his work with the band is getting a serious re-assessment. In the days of Classic Rock, with the many wild virtuoso drummers, he was much overlooked for his amazing yet understated work. In some cases that was likely due to the limited capabilities of recording technology in the very early years, but also because his worked melded so seamlessly with the rest of the band and with the songwriting. Now he is finally getting his due as one of the truly great talents of the age.
A good guy does well...great story. He is also the very picture of good health and good life practices as he ages...like Trump he eschews all alcohol and drugs (he’s older than Hillary by 6 years and just look at the two of them). His only experimentation with drugs at all came in his mid-20s and even then was nothing like the other 3 Beatles. And he is today, at an advanced age, very fit and strong. Something to keep in mind.
Thanks for your response. I’ve always liked him too.
He seemed a quirky guy back in the day. I used to laugh at his antics. I always liked him.
Glad to see he has the good sense to go to Israel and make a bold statement by doing it.
