John and George are still dead

Paul never was

Ringo's talent was never born

I would think that the millions of drummers who were influenced by his innovative style of playing might disagree just a bit. :)

I hope Ringo outlives Paul, even if he has to kill Mr. McCartney himself :evil:

That's true: there are a lot of bad drummers out there.



Interviewer: "Is Ringo the greatest drummer in the world?"
John: "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles."






(And yes, I know that John's criticism of Ringo's playing was always in jest: in a 1980 Playboy interview, he praised his chops).

This reminds me that my habit of reading the newspaper every day without fail began when I used to pore through the newspaper looking for any mention of the Beatles. When they were touring there was something just about every day. I miss that.
