Very good, 4000. I know that dreams are rife with symbolism. I never would've thought of that interpretation ! ;D

Maybe Ringo was keeping a "skeleton" in his closet...something PID related?
Maybe the door in your dream had to do with a supernatural "portal"....
I'm certainly not a dream interpreter....just things that stood out to me.

Actually, it's strange that you said that Rita. I'm pretty sure that my closet is a "portal" to the other side...  |

Your reading the Bible j? just kidding!!! That's a pretty brilliant observation actually, perhaps that explains this peace symbol/ "V" symbol that Ringo's hands are permantly making all the time. "The "v sign" has a colourful history. "V" is the Roman sign for the number five and Adam Weishaupt used it in the Illuminati to symbolise the "Law of Fives,'' " 5 beatles Ringo the 5th Angel? I don't think the abyss is abbey road I think the abyss is something dark and evil maybe the evil never ending agenda of The Beatles in the NWO blueprint. I've been thinking more about your post LR. I already pointed out how there is "something" about his drumming that is irreplaceable for The Beatles sound. That aside, you make a whole list of very good points. I posted this elsewhere but it seems more relevant to this thread: Revolution 1 Revolution 9 Revelation? Revelation 9:1: The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss.A FIFTH angel? (A fifth Beatle?) Sounded his TRUMPET? (Ringo has the trumpet on Pepper.) A star(r) fallen from the sky to Earth? (There is a fallen star(r) on Sgt Pepper, lower left. Who was in the sky? Lucy was.) The STAR was given the KEY? (STARKEY!) The shaft of the Abyss? (Abbey? road) A shaft can be a tunnel or a beam of light, but it can also mean SOMEBODY GOT SCREWED. -j |

I may be way way off here, but if the Beatles were not molded by Epstein and Martin in particular they would still sound like that green lil skiffle band don't ya think? I think the real genius behind thier music was Martin. (now you may throw the tomatoes at me  ) Jarv... very good points....it all makes for interesting read. Ringo would be their star key.... Don't know much about drumming and those were interesting things I didn't know. But he's definitely a plant in the group. And when you think about their "polished image" that Brian was given credit for creating, it was a molded or created group. Because that wasn't the image they presented before. Which makes me ask this question, perhaps it should be given a thread of it's own. But what IF they marketed the Beatles as the "bad boys" rather than the groomed Fab Four... I wonder what impact they would have had had they been able to keep their rough rock and roll image rather than the lovable mop tops? They wouldn't have had the cover of Teeny Bop magazines, but would their music have still been considered "genius"? It's hard to post this type of thing. Like asking if Shirley Temple would have been good as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, or Paulette Goddard as Scarlet o Hara... |

LMAO Yes mommybird, if Ringo likes your mammies you should definately keep a blanket to cover your back door the next time he comes calling for his stuff or to store more stuff. And don't let anybody else take his rolls/buns.... Sorry I couldn't resist! I had a dream about Ringo right before I woke up this morning. I don't believe I've ever dreamt about him before. He was storing some of his stuff in the closet in my bedroom. It was rather disorderly & dusty, so I was cleaning it up for him. He started digging through it. He said that he was looking for something. He described it to me, but I forget now what he said. I offered to keep his stuff stored there for him, but he told me that he had to take it with him. He looked about the same as he did around 1964/65. There was a buffet table behind us & Ringo complained that some young man was taking all of the rolls. They looked like Danish or donuts to me, so I thought that was rather odd  The young man was not part of our entourage. Next, we were sitting at the table. Ringo stated that he really loved my "mammys". In my mind I thought that he meant my "mothers". I only have one mom. It then cut to my back door. There was a blanket over where it should be, & when I pushed it aside, the door was gone. There was a screen door instead. Then I woke up. Talk about weird... I often dream that there is something wrong with my backdoor. It's accompanied by a feeling of ominousness. This time was no different... ***** On thinking about the term "mammys" I came to realize that he might've meant my boobs. Is that a term used for boobs in Great Britain ;D |

mindgames, it's funny you should mention that. I dreamt yesterday morning that I was on a cruise. During part of the dream, I was at a dinner party. There was a large coffee urn full of wine. Wine was pouring out of it, and the waiter wasn't doing anything to stop it. I was screaming at him to do something about it ! John was there & I kissed him hello. Ringo was there & it was his birthday. I gave him a great big happy birthday kiss. They both looked about how they looked in 1968. John had the longer hair, no facial hair. Ringo had the longer hair & 'stash & was a little on the chunky side. All I'm gonna say about that kiss is YUCK !!!  |

I just found this on the rotten apple thread. It's a link to a page about Victor Spinetti. He mentions Ringo almost drowning during HELP ! What if that isn't what happened at all ? What if Ringo did drown ? That's food for thought for those who think that he might've been replaced. I would highlight the spot that I found interesting, but the website won't allow me to copy the page.  Scroll down until he starts talking about Ringo in Help. articles.absoluteelsewhere.net/Articles/victor_spinneti.html |

Abbey Road....is probably the 'road to the abbey' referencing Crowley's Abbey of Thelema at Cefalu...aspects of which inspired the hippy culture in general (doing drugs & various group sex acts etc) ....wayback in the 20's!!!  www1.autistici.org/amprodias/thelema/paulos.htm
The Abyss is connected to the Kabbalah system.... www.mythome.org/Kabbalah.htmlalbion.oto.org.uk/about_albion_oto/new_order_of_albion_oto.shtmlLucas (from the root word Lux...meaning light)alludes to it in the Star Wars series with Yoda (Yod-a) )...when Skywalker (the shamen) goes into a cave and fights Darth (Daath geddit ) Vader....and then realises he has beheaded himself. (the self, ego).   you can see this clip below... www.youtube.com/watch?v=bby8FFN8C_YThat is a rendering of 'crossing the abyss'. see the positioning here below...from Tiphareth(beauty,the sun) between them the 'Veil of the Abyss' to Kether (crown,mind of god).... wisdom & understanding enclosing either side.  GEBURAH(strength) & CHESED(mercy) seen here also....are represented by the front of the 'masonic lodge' the pillars of Jachin & Boaz.  representing in one respect...a dual aspect.....strength & mercy, opposing forces...ying-yang, black & white (like the tesselated flooring in the lodge...resembling a chess board.) |

Hey mindgames, As John Lennon said, "where are all the great George Martin records, if he was so responsible for the Beatles?" It's great question. INHO, Martin is a hack who got lucky when he met Lennon. Now you can throw your tomatoes at me, but aim well because I'll that shit right back at you <grin>

wuh? Why ya pickin on me? I don't know who the hell Martin is. I have seen all the Beatle docus. that aired back in the day where Martin describes having to edit strawberry fields from 3 diffrent keys at John's request, other than that I view him as the guy that edited the mish mosh together. Maybe he recorded under one of Fauls under cover projects, maybe he is Faul's under cover lover since everybody thinks Faul has a lil suger in his gas tank, but how did I get involved in this conversation, anyway?

I would never pick on you. I simply responding to the comment below. Besides I would never pick on anyone, I am just trying to have a conversation. Sorry if it sounded harsh. Writing sometimes can make tone difficult to gauge. Often when I am trying to be funny I seem to hit "clinckers" instead :}} I may be way way off here, but if the Beatles were not molded by Epstein and Martin in particular they would still sound like that green lil skiffle band don't ya think? I think the real genius behind thier music was Martin. (now you may throw the tomatoes at me ) |

My parents met a man named Jim Pocisk who lived in Berlin around 1969. This guy sat in for Ringo on drums. According to my parents, this guy said Ringo was not a very good drummer & it was easy to get him off.

Fascinating thread; I recall reading that someone had remarked to John Lennon that Pete Best was a very good drummer....to which John replied that was true "but Ringo is a very good Beatle".. Speaks volumes.

Ringo was in a group called "Rory Storm & the Hurricanes" who were supposed to be the group that topped all the music polls in Liverpool at the time...what became of them (they were not chosen to be managed by Epstein in his "stable" of acts that he acquired; yet their drummer was poached...his name must have worked some magic for him....yes, he does seem to always wear dark glasses.

What's up with Ringo? The Beatles live in obscurity and then Ringo joins and POOF!!! World famous. The guy's stage name literally means pentacle, (a star inside of a circle). His birth name, Starkey, break into star key. The key to stardom? Ringo always seems to be the one least in charge, the least opinionated, the one nobody scrutinizes. Ever see "The Usual Suspects?" -j I too, think there’s a lot more to Ringo than most people realize. And it’s too bad that his threads are always so… threadbare. If I were more inclined to invent fan-fictions I would speculate that The Beatles were put together by Ringo, George Martin & Yoko to make lots of money... Slowly but surely killing off the other three Beatles. Another interesting image to fan the flames of a Ringo conspiracy. Notice he is positioned in front of the stars.  But to Ringo's credit -- how can I say this -- without Ringo it just isn't The Beatles, you know what I mean? He is left-handed, but he drums on a right-handed kit, so his tendency to lead with his left hand creates a unique style that plays heavy on the high-hat, with a little less balance on snare, whereas that would be reversed with a "normal" drummer. Just about every other drummer in rock can smoke Ringo on chops and power, but there is something about his drumming that makes it "work" with The Beatles. Try putting John Bonham or Carl Palmer or Ginger Baker or Charlie Watts behind them and it just won't work... -j I agree, say what you want about his style, but it’s a perfect fit. I don’t know... here’s some photos of him writing right-handed.  update:I did some research and read that Ringo was taught to write with his right hand... If he writes, paints, plays drums and guitar right handed, doesn't that pretty much make him ambidextrous? Here's Ringo and Paul both lighting their lighters with their right hand.  |

Definitely something "strange" about Ringo/Fingo; what does that 2 fingered salute mean anyway? Why did Brian Epstein not sign up Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, but pinched their drummer? Or was it someone else's idea? Rory Storm was supposed to be bigger than The Beatles in Liverpool. (Apparently, Ringo was not the first choice though; it was offered to the drummer of the Big Three but he turned it down out of loyalty to Pete Best, apparently.....

I agree that the case of Ringo/Fingo is in many ways stranger than ANY of the Beatles/Featles (even Paul/Faul). How and why he even became their drummer is strange. Nobody seems to have a good explanation. He seems to have been replaced/doubled more than any of the other Beatles and he was the "star" of their first two movies. In the movie "Help" he was set up to be sacrificed to "Kali" the Hindu Godess of death. What if that was what really happened? Would not suprise me at all. Maybe the same with Paul. |

The A.'. A.'. 7-pointed Star of Babalon The seal upon the Ring of IT. Notice the 77 - the Gematrical value of Oz Ringo was born on 7/7 "The Star of Babalon is also the Seal upon the Tomb of them whom She hath slain." Oz also means goat in Hebrew. Pan also = 77 in Greek Gematria.from Crowley’s Liber Oz Notice the 7-pointed starr within the ring.  The name Ringo, transposed into Hebrew, Resh-Yod-Nun-Gimel-Ayin, has the Gematrical value of 333. The name Choronzon also equals 333. He is the Dweller on the Threshold, the devil of Crowley's 10th Aethyr.. As we see on The Devil card, the phallus reaches into the sky and penetrates the body of Nu/Nuith, who is The Milky Way. The Phallus or dick(Richard), is the Star Key entering the ring o' stars. Also notice the figures on the left; three are upright while one is prostrate. And on the right, we see three figures subdued by a 'minotaur'. Billy goat?  "Every man and woman is a star" – Crowley Interesting that Ringo means Apple in Japanese. and when you cut an apple in half horizontally, you see the 5 seeds forming a star.  In mythology, Saturn (Kronos), is the god of time, and death. As the drummer, Ringo keeps time. Both are associated with their rings. And remember, Ringo is reading Anatomy Of A Murder in AHDN.  The 1959 film adaptation starrs J ames Stewart as Paul Biegler. His best friend in the film is named Parnell McCarthy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_a_Murder The artwork for the book cover was done by Saul Bass. In the Bible, Saul becomes Paul Bass bass guitar They all think Ringo accidentally stepped on and killed shrunken Paul.  Paul shrunk? Alice in Wonderland much?Paul being shot execution-style, by Ringo. He is the only one this is done to.  Again, Ringo shooting Paul  |
