Heard a couple of tracks on Boom Radio - rather wish I hadn't.
Second string drummer in a boy band, wasn't he?
What did you expect, songs that sounded like they'd been written by Lennon or McCartney?

Have to say though, for being 84 he looks in incredible shape.

Does it reach the heights previously achieved by Octopuses Garden?

Staring at the rude boys
People take the piss out of him, which is fair game for his "singing" and songwriting but as a drummer he was great. Don't forget he was the only one of the Beatles who was actively recruited after they sacked Pete Best and appeared on post-Beatles albums by George and John.

There's a funny section in one of Danny Baker's excellent trilogy where he interviewed a boozy Starr in a local pub for NME at the launch of a crap new solo album.
Bloke doesn't seem to realise he releases shite records.

Much better than many give him credit for and many drummers point out that he played so many different drumming styles for the Beatles. Also, when you see some of the documentaries, they say that the way he was able to keep time during the live concerts, despite the noise, was amazing - especially considering there were no decent monitors and no IEMs that are in use these days - and he did this taking queues from how the others were playing.

Played on some of Paul's solo stuff as well eg Pipes of Peace
He was a very good drummer
Will Crapstal Palarsch use Ringo for making lots of noise to improve their atmosphere? Brighton, probably HELL no. Liverpool? They obvs don't need it this season. Maybe he'd like to be a Gooner drummer?
