Ringo At 70, A Brief Tribute

1. Ringo Starr turned 70 this week.

If you don't know who Ringo Starr is, or think he was a Special Prosecutor, please turn back now. If you think 70 is old, get a life, and your subscription is suspended.

2. We went into the ThirdGarage Collected Works Vault to retrieve this tribute to Ringo & Friends we penned a while ago:


Across The Universe


We sing our song.
Big, small
Short, long
Fast, crawl.


We sing their song.
Dong, ding
Ding, dong
Along we sing.


We wait for our song.
Like Paul,
Like John,
It won’t be long.

Singing our song.

- Well, perhaps this is why we turned to blog-prose.

Millions of people can remember Ringo and his mates playing Shea Stadium in '65, but few remember the concerts we attended on August 29 and 30, 1964 at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium:

Happy Birthday, Ringo. In our hyped-up world, you and your friends were, are, and will always be The Real Real Thing.
