Ringo has long been my favourite Beatle--just because.

Ringo puts on a good show--went to one of the previous incarnations--had a good time.
He's not kiddin' when he calls it his All Starr Band! They are top players from other hit making bands. And having Joe Walsh for a brother-in-law doesn't hurt.

I was born in 1956 and had 3 older sisters. The radio was constantly playing at our house, so I heard The Beatles in late 1962 or early 1963. I loved it even as a child, and yeah, I was watching the Ed Sullivan Show, too, when that aired.
When I hit about 17 or 18 I was introduced to...errr... mind expanding chemicals, like so many of us were back then. Though I still loved early Beatles, Rubber Soul, Revolver, and the later music became my favorite music to trip around the outer perimeter. I quit all that by the time I was 22 or so, but I still love The Beatles. They were the best ever. No other band even comes close. Favorite songs would take way too long.

I saw a quote form him that seems relevant to turning 80

How many of you knew that The Beatles changed the world of medicine like this? I, for one, did not!

Yes, the music branch was a small part of a much larger company.

Many years ago I had an EMI tape recorder. It was a broadcast quality portable machine intended for news gathering much like a Nagra.
A couple of photos I came across the other day.
Ringo in Australia
The Beatles in NZ
Both shots show them with 63-64 EH model Holdens. (Was a GM brand)
