...In the heyday of the Fab Four it was so easy to like Ringo Starr. He was projected as the everyman in the shadows of giants, when in fact it was actualy his guiding genius that propelled the Beatles to stardom. Over the Post-Beatle years, as the other three floundered about, Ringo always there to gather such fading stars as Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Clapton, The Band, Dr John, & others ...

It seemed like a reasonable request to the staff at the Regis and Kelly show, but apparently to Ringo Starr is was just plain out insulting. Yesterday (Jan. 22) Ringo Star, one of the most famous musicians in the world walked off the set of the "Regis and Kelly" show after he was asked to butcher the song he was set to perform for time constraints.The Beatles' former drummer was appearing on...

Really!! How does Ringo get away with these things? If any other person brought these tapes to their record company...........and its not like its an isolated incident...who recalls Sentimental Journey? It seems that when they other three thought they could make it without Ringo's guiding genius....his talents began to diminish. Go Figure. Oh, don't get me wrong.....RINGO was a fine a...

Ahhhhhh.......Ringo. A bit "under The (influence) weather" for The Concert For Bangla Desh....At this point he'd had one hit...you'd think he'd remember the words to it.So, I'm trying to put enough words here so the political stuff would not appear in the main part of the post. I'm probably there now so...........I am deeply troubled by some of the policy reversals President Obama has signal...

"After his walk-off earlier this week":http://mog.com/Sturgell/blog_post/139458 on ABC's Live With Regis And Kelly, Ringo Starr had a little more luck on another network. The former Beatle and collaborator Dave Stewart (formerly of the Eurythmics) played four songs in their entirety on the CBS late night talk show The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Starr, along with Stewart who wrote all t...

dermahrk says he didn't realize that **Back Off Boogaloo** was a slam at McCartney. I guess it was disguised adequately. But **Blindman** leaves no doubt.While the Beatles were fracturing there were a lot of internal strife. **Paul's**decision to release his first solo album **McCartney** so close to the **Beatles' Let It Be** was a cause for concern for the other three as it was feared that ...

Relax. The Beatles drummer is doing just fine, but the statue of him, carved from a hedge in Liverpool...not so much.Some hoodlums beheaded Ringo Starr, 67, in the hometown topiary homage to the Beatles. People believe the vandals targeted Starr for his comments during the January opening of the European Capital Of Culture events in Liverpool. When asked what he missed most about Liverpool, Sta...

RSchaut wrote a very good essay on the art of the guitar(ist's) solo. You should "read it here":http://mog.com/RSchaut/blog_post/143487#write-comment .But there is another kind of guitar solo I'd like to talk about here.I'm talking about the incredible brilliance that is occasionaly showcased in the solos of the simple three minute song.George Harrison always leaps to mind in this regard. His ...
