        I knew that about Ringo. I've always been impressed with his wit and sense of humor.  I wonder when he finally learned to read and write, and who taught him.

          80 years young - hear him on Graham Gouldman's new album Modesty Forbids, on a song Graham wrote about him, callled Standing next to me. Peace and love, sir !

                      Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Ringo is 80. But the way this year has gone, I'm just glad he's still with us.

                        I know! When I was born he was almost 15. When I first discovered him in 1964 he was still 23. This year I just got on Medicare! Where have the years gone?!

                          Ringo's TV programme was excellent - a big part of him is obviously still in the Summer of Love !  After reading about his early years in Mark Lewisohn's never-ending answer to War and Peace, I find it hard to reconcile the sickly child with the vision of health and youthful energy I saw on TV. Whatever he's on, does anyone know where you can get some ?

                            I just hope I'm doing as well as Ringo when I'm 80!!!
