Ring Starr will go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Ringo Starr was never the deep thinking  Beatle the others were. But his music and other works were fun and he has always been a fun entertainer. As a friend of mine and I agree, while Ringo is rarely a person's favorite Beatle, he is often described as a person's second favorite Beatle. That was the case with us. My favorite Beatle has always been John Lennon. Tim's favorite was George Harrison. But both of us quickly declared that Ringo was our 2nd favorite. He is a really likable person. So I am glad to hear he will get his own entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Of course he deserves it. Why not?-Otto


Were you upset by the breakup of the Beatles back in the day? So was Ringo Starr.
The Fab Four drummer told the Times of London that he often spent the 1970s and '80s in a boozy haze.
I was drunk,” he said. "Some of those years are absolutely gone.”
Starr, 74, explained to the paper that the group's split affected him for a long time. “I was mad,” he said. "For 20 years. I had breaks in between of not being."
