It was quite difficult because I didn't know what to do at all, and I didn't really have any brainy ideas except, 'If I want to continue in music, maybe I'll form another band...'

But then, how do you do that after The Beatles? How can anything I do be as good as The Beatles? The Beatles were a very special combination of talents.

You had me doing what I do, you had John [Lennon] doing what he does, and then you had George [Harrison], who by then had come on as a very strong songwriter, and then gluing it all together

And you had Ringo.

Photograph is a great solo song by Ringo so at least he had that

I think it's cool that The B52's helped re-spark John Lennon.
If it in any way helped lead to Double Fantasy then that is amazing.
Sad that it was his last album but damn if it doesn't have some tracks.

Ringo Starr is unironically one of the greatest drummers of all time and no one can convince me otherwise.

But I do get a massive chuckle out of seeing his masterclass ad popping up. The guy clearly has no fucking idea how to teach drumming at all so he just sticks to beatles anecdotes

I can't back this up since it's from a half-remembered documentary I watched probably 20 years ago, but I believe one of the contributing factors in John, Paul, and George seeking out Ringo to take over the drums was that he was older than they were, and they (ironically) perceived him as 'the cool one.'

And I too have a soft spot for the Beatles songs with Ringo on the vocals. 'A Little Help From My Friends,' 'Octopus's Garden,' 'Don't Pass Me By,' and 'Good Night' are all gems.

I always thot John Lennon would be the only one of the group to try and keep up with music and the world around him - he just always seemed genuinely interested in things other than music after he met Yoko

Yeah, some great work just speaking from the soul of Lennon

favorite song off the album?

lI know McCartney means it in a 'you of course cannot forget Ringo' but I think the nature of how he used to see Ringo is still alive. That's not a good thing when you consider what Paul looks like in the new Peter Jackson docu

I'm not a huge fan myself honestly, there's some good tunes but George and Lennon have my heart post Beatles

also, for the record -- Ringo rules

Oh, IDK know, there are some real gems on that album.
Just Like Starting Over, is one of them.
