My Brush with Greatness
I won a Sirius-XM radio
contest this January. Ask Ringo Starr an intelligent question
and come down to Hollywood and ask him during a live Town Hall. So we
did that.
Met
the 71 year old, had our picture taken and later asked my question
during the live broadcast.
Russell Brand was a moderator, record producer Don Was, too.
Check
it out on Sirius-XM Channel 28, it'll be rebroadcast over the next few
weeks.
Ringo had no regrets about his time with the Beatles or anything in his
past.
Was
the rooftop concert a fitting last live gig for the Beatles?
Ringo said they considered a concert at the pyramids or in a Hawaiian
volcano
but they all said "sod it, let's play on the roof." Peace and
love mentioned often.
He's
a vegetarian, and isn't taking any "medicine" now.
After the questions he and the band played a few songs.
Joe Walsh, who's on the new album, Ringo 2012, played and sounded
great.

Harry, good one - thanks.
