I was born in Cleveland and lived in western suburbs until age 18.

Wow it’s great. 🙃

@njr Well....here's a clue for you all
The Walrus was Paul. 🚶

@njr said in Ringo’s 2023 tour schedule:

@wandy I can’t remember what I paid for Wings in 1976, but I know it wasn’t more than $12.50 per ticket. George Harrison was $8.50 in 1974.
My heart would win over my head any day if I could see the Beatles as they were in the ‘60s!

I saw the Wings Over America tour in San Diego -- L.A. sold out too fast -- and had to pay a scalper agency the seemingly outrageous price of $25 a pop for nosebleed seats. I forget the face value, but it was way less than that.

Myself and some of my Beatles fans friends went to St Pancras Churchyard several years ago and walked in the footsteps of the Beatles there ( there is a park bench with a plaque on it commemorating the Beatles visit to the Churchyard) and I filmed our visit too. Great memories 👌 ❤️

Have You seen the last Ted Lasso episode? If you haven't and you're a big Beatles' / Paul fan, it was a good one. One of the themes was that Ted's son flew to Great Britain with his Mother and her new Boyfriend to see his Dad. I won't give the whole episode away, but it has a strong Paul McCartney connection. Have you seen it?

@adam-a-raszynski That was great!

I hated Joe Cocker's version of, With A Little Help From My Friends. Terrible throaty voice😵‍💫 warbling. Just hated it.
I love Joe Cocker's version. The backup singers are terrible though. I heard the real backups got stuck in traffic (this was Woodstock) so members of the band took over.

6 out of 10, some of them were fairly easy. The "Drug bust", "Billy Preston" and "Civil Rights activist" questions I knew without thinking about it. For some reason, Lennon signing the papers in Disneyworld stuck in my head all these years. The "American actress" question, I took educated guess it would be Sissy Spacek because I knew she was a decent singer, think she even put out an album many years ago. Not an easy quiz which is good, people on this board need to be challenged -lol
