Artist: Ringo Starr

I'm 28 years old, so I've been driving on my own for over a decade now, but I can still remember seeing my father's fingers tap on the dashboard of his car. For most of his youth, he spent his time behind a piano or organ, playing in a circuit of hip New York bands throughout the '60s. Some toured with Mitch Ryder, The Animals, and Paul Butterfield; others just jammed in the garage for fun. Every time I bring this era up to him, he just lights up, and he's always quick to discuss his Sgt. Peppers [...]

Both the Rocks Off team in particular and (I guess) Houston in general have had Paul McCartney mania for days. You can feel the anticipation for tonight's show building like the bridge in "I Saw ... Continue reading "Ringo Starr: A Few Words In Favor of the Other Surviving Beatle" >

Filed under: The Hit List Getty Images Attention, artists: If Bruce Springsteen ever offers to write a song for you, don't get too excited -- especially if it winds up being a really good one. Because while the Boss has written several songs for other performers, he's been known to both giveth and taketh away. He's not the only one to flip-flop on song destinations. Here are several hit songs that were intended [...]

Though his solo career got off to a slow start, Ringo Starr actually became one of the Beatles' most successful singles artists during the early 1970s. Among his eight chart hits during the first half of the decade is the #1, "Photograph."

Filed under: News Liverpoollove.org The Beatles sang about wanting to hold your hand, but somebody last week at the Museum of Liverpool obviously wanted to hold far more than that. NME reports a piece of art entitled "The Beatles in America" and showing the (artistically rendered) penises of the Fab Four -- John Lennon , Paul McCartney , George Harrison and Ringo Starr -- was defaced [...]

Oh, pity the politician who would save Ringo Starr's first home. You'll recall our old friend Flo Clucas who announced she'd preserved the house for the ages, only to mumble quietly when asked how that was going. Then last year, Grant Shapps popped up to call a halt to the demolition , or rather to indicate he might not be unhappy if it didn't get knocked down. And this year, Shapps popped again to garner a bit of good publicity by announcing the previously-announced policy all over again. Trouble is, he's mannaged [...]

I can't believe I've never seen this entire thing. And like the recently posted Charlie Is My Darling , I'd watch this now as I'd be surprised if its up for very long. Although this has been on YouTube since January, so maybe it'll be available for a while... Famously recorded on the roof of Apple in London on January 30, 1969, it was to be their last performance as a band in public. The footage was included in the Let It Be documentary released in 1970.

The club will officially open on Tuesday, October 30, with a gig from The Meter Men with Page McConnell, [...]

Ringo Starr è universalmente noto per essere stato il batterista dei leggendari The Beatles , ma prima dell'avventura nei Fab Four ha suonato con diverse bamd semisconosciute. Della prima fra queste, chiamata band Rory Storm And The Hurricanes, sono sbucate fuori per la prima volta dopo oltre 50 anni le registrazioni originali. Si tratta di nastri incisi nel marzo 1960 , due anni prima che Starr entrasse in pianta stabile nei Beatles prendendo il posto di Pete Best.

Filed under: Exclusive , The Hit List Michael Ochs Archives (2) We've written about the musicians who are super smart or spent time as teachers, but this year for back-to-school season, we decided to look at the famous artists who made it big without graduating high school. There are dozens of big names who never earned a diploma, so we decided to narrow it down to the ones who have interesting stories: The Beatle who [...]

The RINGO STARR has been named the world's richest drummer. The BEATLES fella beats the PHIL COLLINS and the DAVE GROHL to the list, both technically no longer just drummers, but whose career kickstarted behind the kit. The RINGO , who unleashed his 16th solo long_one earlier this year is worth a cool $300 million. The former GENESIS man comes in second place with a reported worth of around $250 million and the NIRVANA's once-upon-a-drummer is in third, worth $225 million. Be stunned at the full list here [...]

And while the record's received genuinely lukewarm reviews by critics thus far, it's essentially a Canadian hate crime not to somehow immortalize her new musical chapter. [...]

I'll give you two guesses as to the focus of celebritynetworth.com, but you're only gonna need one. Now they've posted their list of The 30 Richest Drummers in the World, and there are a bunch of skinsman who will be of interest to the metal community. Not because it says anything about their talent - it [...]

For better or for worse, people are obsessed with wealth. So it is no surprise a list of the richest drummers in music was recently published, hopefully to dispel the habit of always making the drummer in the band the butt of the joke. Leading off the list is Ringo Starr, who is arguably the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Potholes favorite Questlove landed at the 28 spot with a $16 million net worth. That Fallon gig sure is paying off. I wonder how much of that actually came from music sales, though. Check out [...]

Q: What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians? A: A drummer! If you've spent enough time hanging out with people in bands, you've heard a million jokes like this. But as it turns out, banging on things is potentially way more lucrative than anyone could've realized. Celebrity Net Worth recently published a list of the 30 richest drummers in the world. And maybe it's not surprising that Ringo Starr could buy and sell all of us several times over, or that many of the richest drummers are people who figured out ways to stop [...]
