Some more When i'm 64 info - the Beatles wrote a handful of songs in the late 1950s including one after 909 which appears over a decade later on Let it be.

Paul McCartney told my nephew a few years ago that Ringo was on a bottle of vodka a day.Quote:

The clarinets were recorded on 21 December.[8]
The song is in the key of C sharp major. The Beatles recorded the song in C major but the master take was sped up in order to raise the key by one semitone at the insistence of McCartney. Martin remembers that McCartney suggested this change in order to make his voice sound younger.[9] McCartney says, "I wanted to appear younger, but that was just to make it more rooty-tooty; just lift the key because it was starting to sound turgid."[1]
Ged, you are right. I had brain seizure. Ringo sang "with a little help from my friends", on the same album. A cover by Joe Cocker was a big hit.Quote:

However, it is correct to say they didn't write any new 'Beatles' material after summer 1969 but it is incorrect to say they didn't write any songs in the late 1950s too. Anthology 1 even includes 'In spite of all the danger', an original recorded in Kensington, Liverpool (together with Buddy Holly's That'll be the day)
Ged, I did say "Very few were written in the 1950s". It is also correct to say their last recording together as the Beatles was in 1969.Quote:

I just don't know how Nirvana and the Stereophonics are regularly featured in those surveys though but that's the beauty of music being one mans food is another mans poison.
That's what I thought too. No way is there that amount of posts on that web-site, I look in there from time to time, and I looked in to see what the Echo forum had to say about Ringo - I was surprised at the time to find not that many posts - I thought there would have been a lot more. Some have been added since then - but not that amount.Quote:

Maybe, but had he made those millions all those years ago and if his face was better known (preventing him having a pint in his local etc etc) he could also easily have been him too living in America.
As an aside, I believe Pete done very well out of the Beatles anthology film, book and cds (which feature him) and he has at long last been compensated financially, so maybe he's glad to have the money but can walk down Heyman's Green virtually unrecognised.
sorry.. i posted then realised it made no sense
It's ok Louis, it doesn't prevent Asbo ;)
Ha! I reckon they've got it from the Echo and got it wrong.Quote:

Don't know how the Echo know that people who read and don't leave a message are 'furious'. They might have been people from the national press trying to find a story!
Hi Asbo, I know he will have thought about it back then, but I mean now while all this stuff is going on about Ringo - - I wonder if Pete Best is looking on with interest at all this fury - and he might think to himself how would he have reacted if was in Ringo's place.Quote:

RINGO pocketed £90,000 for headlining the start of Liverpool, European Capital of Culture 2008 - thanks to a blunder by Our Lord Redmond.
He decided not to give Ringo the £30,000 fee the ex-Beatle was originally asking for his two appearances in the city.
Redmond decided he would be dead clever like - and just pay Ringo's expenses instead.
"Oh, okay den," says Ringo, smiling quietly to himself.
"That's fair enough, I suppose, knowworramean?"
For some strange reason, Ringo then seems to have decided to make the most of his sojourn in the city of his birth - and bring along nine of his mates with him.
Ringo and his now substantial retinue - which included his band and general hangers-on - decided to fly business class across from LA.
Ker-ching!
Then they checked into the Hope Street hotel on the recommendation of Donald Bull****ter, who handled all the arrangements personally.
Ker-ching!!
Ringo's retinue then spent their time being ferried here and there in a fleet of gleaming limousines.
Ker-ching!!!
Their daily living expenses, which included food and drinks, were all met by the Culture Company.
Ker-ching!!!!
And so it went on.
One estimate is that Ringo spent ten days here, while the CoC footed the bill for all of the gang.
Redmond was left suitably left red-faced when he finally received the expenses bill from Ringo - and found the council taxpayers were going to have to pick up the tab for £90.000 - three times the fee that Ringo had asked for.
Fans will recall that Ringo sang, with some gusto, "I'll Get By With a Little Help From My Friends" during his acclaimed appearance at the Arena.
But one of his tunes which we did not hear, unfortunately, was: "You Know, It Don't Come Easy."
Could have fooled us.
Now Our Lord Redmond and the CoC are hoping that no-one asks any awkward questions about the cost of bringing one of Liverpool's most famous sons back to the city to plug his new album.

They hide behind the blog because they are too sacred of being sued for the tripe they publish and we should name and shame them.
Does any one know who runs the site?
Ringo Starr's Culture opening cost Liverpool £50,000
Apr 15 2008
http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/li...2F4708A96A.gif
RINGO STARR’S appearance at Liverpool’s Capital of Culture opening weekend cost the city more than £50,000, the Daily Post can reveal.
Although he charged no fee for the event, the former Beatle and his entourage, which included Dave Stewart, racked up costs of £53,655 getting to the city and staying in the exclusive Hope Street Hotel.
Starr used the high-profile start to Liverpool’s showcase year to promote his new single Liverpool 8, which eventually charted at 99.
He played from the top of St George’s Hall, and a day later also appeared at the Liverpool Echo Arena for the opening concert in a well-received homecoming.
But within days the drummer had angered Liverpudlians with an interview with the BBC’s Jonathan Ross when he was asked if there was anything he missed about the city and said “no”.
Last week, his life-size topiary figure at Liverpool South Parkway station was vandalised only weeks after being unveiled. All the other Beatles were left untouched, prompting speculation his head may have been chopped off in revenge for his TV comments.
Liverpool Culture Company initially refused to say how much it had cost to get Starr to appear at the opening weekend, citing commercial confidentiality.
But the expenses were released following a Freedom of Information request from the Daily Post.
Vice-chairman of the Culture Company Phil Redmond last night said: “For events like this you can use C-listers, B-listers, or A-listers, and then there are one-offs which the likes of Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney are.
“In terms of the opening weekend, it was mainly down to Ringo’s appearance which generated unprecedented national and international media coverage which the city is benefiting from today.”
According to information supplied under the Freedom of Information Act, there was no formal contract between Starr’s record label EMI, and the Culture Company.
“No formal contracts were exchanged as no fee elements were involved in the agreement,” said the council. Liverpool City Council agreed to cover the costs of travel and accommodation and catering while in Liverpool.”
The £29,550 for flights included two first-class tickets from the US.
Starr and his entourage used a total of 48 nights at the Hope Street Hotel in across 14 rooms, costing £8,980. And while in the city Starr had his own personal car and there were four others for use by members of his crew. Ground transportation cost a total of £13,375. Hospitality and catering cost £1,750, bringing Starr’s expenses to £53,655.
The council said that “all incidentals at Hope Street Hotel including bar bills, phone calls, etc, were picked up by the individuals concerned”.
