Ringo


Bill and I were listening to Paul McCartney and Wings Band on the Run in the car on the way home, and he said that he had read an article in the newspaper about Ringo Starr being scheduled to be on the Regis and "whoever the flavor of the week is." He was going to play a 4 minute song and they insisted that he had to cut it to 2.5 minutes. Ringo said he couldn't do that and when they insisted again, he just walked off the set. Bill's take was, "Well I should hope so! He's a fracking Beatle for goodness sake! Who does this Regis Philbin think he is?" Well, he didn't say fracking, but you get the drift. I totally agree.

Nah, he's only a Beatle, fracking or otherwise, by dumb luck. The Philbin thing, whatever that is, probably figured that 2.5 minutes of Ringo was all people could take.
