Happy Birthday, Billy Shears!

Happy 77th birthday to the One and Only Ringo Starr. I salute you, Mr. Starkey. May you always get by with a little help from your friends. :cool:

Peace and love, Richie!

(bonus Beatles trivia: it was 60 years ago yesterday that John and Paul first met)

Wasn’t it twenty years ago today ?

He’s carrying the contraband stolen Death Star plans!

When did the objects of my teenage lust become old men??? :eek:

both Ringo & Paul look pretty damn good for their ages: I’ll bet they pretty much switched to healthy lifestyles.

recently watched Eight Days a Week (Ron Howard’s movie about their touring years) and they all smoked cigarettes constantly back in the day.

so, I’m guessing they quit that at some point.

Paul has been a vegetarian for a very long time. He refused to give Weird Al Yancovic permission to turn Live and Let Die into a song called Chicken Pot Pie, because he didn’t want to be seen as condoning eating meat.

Ringo has been completely sober for a couple of decades now; he used to be a mess.

He’s quoted as saying that he wouldn’t have anyone around to his house unless they could get wasted together, mostly booze.

“No, no, no, no, I don’t drink it no more. I’m tired of waking up on the floor.”

Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach have been married for 37 years! And Ringo is a great-grandfather, his granddaughter Tatie Starkey had a baby boy Stone Zacomo Low In August of 2016.
