“I felt naked without my guitar, you know. George couldn’t sing because he was laughing so much” - John Lennon
"I can see the Beatles sticking together forever, really. We’ve been together a long time." - George Harrison
John, Paul, George and Ringo from 1961 to 1970
JOHN: I’m not a tough guy. I’ve always had to have a facade of being tough to protect myself from other people’s neuroses. But really, I’m a very sensitive and weak guy. PAUL: John and I were two of the luckiest people in the twentieth century to have found each other. The partnership, the mix, was incredible. We both had submerged qualities that we each saw and knew. I had to be the bastard as well as the nice melodic one and John had to have a warm and loving side for me to stand him all those years. John and I would never have stood each other for that length of time had we been just one-dimensional. (1997) GEORGE: John Lennon is a saint, and he’s heavy-duty, and he’s great, and I love him. But at the same time, he’s such a bastard. (1974) RINGO: I was a big fan of John’s. I always felt he had the biggest heart, and he wasn’t the cynic that people thought. He had the biggest heart and he was the fastest. He was in and out. While we were still getting in he was out and on to the next round. (1995)
What things do you like best about Ringo?
Anon!!!!
I cannot emphasise enough how much I love Ringo. I just adore him. First of all, I love how much the other three loved him. I love Paul going "Ringo was like a GI!" and even John being tongue-tied and dippy about him having a car and a beard and a proper career when they were just stupid little boys. I love his low, gorgeous voice and his lovely teeth and his incredible blue eyes and the way his expression can go from "Catholic stained glass window saint" to "your cousin's cheeky ex-boyfriend who will fuck you into oblivion behind the offy" in two seconds flat. I love how supremely self-confident and secure he always was about loving other people, his propensity for giving and receiving cuddles, his devotion to his friends. I love his redemption arc! He had a shit start in life, he identified that he was an alcoholic and he dealt with it. Happy 35 years Ringo! I love the way he refused to throw Paul under the bus and insisted he'd always love George no matter what legalese was chucked at him from that quarter, and the way he looked after John when nobody else did. I love him insisting flatly and with northern sincerity that he's seen John twice since he died. I just love him so much, the metronome, the heartbeat of it all, I AM THE FUCKING CLICK TRACK
