Aspel - George Harrison and Ringo Starr (1988)

[@colettestjean123]

As a band The Beatles are just great, but on their own, they’re such strong interesting men, it’s no wonder as a group they were so explosively good. Not all famous musicians have so much going for them.

Except for when he was lying to his wife, and cheating on her constantly! In fact, he cheated on several women. As it all the Beatles! He would tell his wife that she was being paranoid even though he knew that he was sleeping with other women. In today’s culture, probably get him canceled as would have Lennon been with his filing to help us and hitting women, etc..

I am so happy this interview was made.. having seen several US interviews i really see the difference English humour and talking has.

Of course, to John, Paul, George & Ringo being The Beatles was just a part, a huge part of their lives, but from the inside , all the bad stuff as well, that only those four guys could experience. To the rest of us Beatles fans, who can only ever know it from the distant out side, can you imagine what it must be like to be able to say, as you pass through your life, that I was one of The Beatles, I was a Beatle, the greatest most influential pop group in the history of popular music. Try to imagine being able to say that to another person, and for it to be true. Mind blowing.

In '88, beneath the glow of lights so grand, Michael Aspel welcomed legends, a revered band. George Harrison and Ringo Starr, hand in hand, Their tales of glory and friendship, forever stand. Aspel, with his gentle grace, led the conversation's dance, As Harrison and Starr reminisced, in a nostalgic trance. From Liverpool's streets to fame's exalted stance, Their journey, a testament to music's enduring romance. With laughter in their voices, and memories so clear, They shared the joys and sorrows of a bygone year. The Beatles' legacy, ever precious and dear, In Aspel's interview, it shone bright and near. In '88, a reunion of souls, so profound, Aspel, Harrison, and Starr, their stories unbound. Their bond, a testament, forever to astound, In the hearts of fans, their melodies resound. So let us cherish that moment, in history's embrace, Aspel, George, and Ringo, in a timeless space. In '88, with wisdom, humor, and grace, They reminded us of music's enduring place.

Sir Richard Starkey (Liverpool, 07 de julio de 1940), más conocido como Ringo Starr, es un músico, multiinstrumentista, cantante, compositor y actor británico, conocido por ser baterista de la banda de rock The Beatles. Antes de formar parte de The Beatles, Starr fue miembro de otra banda de Liverpool, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. En agosto de 1962, Pete Best fue despedido y Ringo ocupó su lugar. Además de tocar la batería, Starr participó como vocalista en varias canciones versionadas o creadas por el grupo como «With a Little Help from My Friends», «Yellow Submarine», «I Wanna Be Your Man», «Act Naturally», «Boys», entre otras y fue el compositor de las canciones «Don't Pass Me By» y «Octopus's Garden». 83 AÑOS.

I didn't get to know the Beatles very much. It was devil music where I came from. I saw the Ed Sullivan show though, after church on a Sunday night at some friends' house. I liked them, and I heard them on the radio. I did like Ringo the best, as I later saw some of the movies and TV performances. I distincty recall being in the yard (garden) in a patch of pansies in Jonesboro hearing I Wanna Hold Your Hand. It was always my favorite. Of course, most people my age never understood the lyrics to later songs, as I do now. Some of the lyrics now to all these wonderful treasures of the music world are almost too overwhelming with sadness now with understanding. And believe me, I recognize you all and your children when I see you in the videos. About the time of my first divorce I began seeing myself looking back at me in almost everyone. Especially those I have cherished from childhood, I know you all. I can't describe the love and affection and recognition inside me but it's still incredibly shocking. And emotional. Ringo was my favorite because of the drums. And my neighbor at whose home I spent SO much time played the drums. So nice to see the "normalness" of these two. I hope I remember my life always. I guess I will. Brain like a hard drive, been a double-edged sword so far. Or motherboard. Thank you for presenting this piece of history for us.❤
