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

MY TOP 10 FAVORITE ANSWERS FROM PAUL IN TODAYS TWITTER Q&A - This man will be the death of me, I swear.
âI told John to close his eyes because I could feel this tension between him and Paul. I did them (together) afterwards; I got them looking different ways because there was such a tension.â
