I was looking for info' on whether Ringo would be touring this summer. He's done some gigs and appearances to promote his new CD. He's also performed for some charity events. But nothing on an actual tour. One page I found suggested he would tour, but according to Ringo himself, it's not happening this year.  That's too bad. Now here's the good news.  I have been checking out Ringo's website. It's a blast! ;D He's got movie clips of himself with his friends. At home, singing and making funny faces for the camera. It's all very personal and very cool. There are also taped updates and even "Rejected" out-takes of Ringo introducing his website when he first started up. He apparently had an old page and this is the new and improved one. And all through Ringo's wishing everybody "Peace and Love". It's fun for the whole Ringo-loving cyber-family. Enjoy! www.ringostarr.com/ |

Ringo Starr's Childhood Home to Be Razed Fri Sep 9,11:42 AM ET
LIVERPOOOL, England - A city council committee has approved the demolition of a childhood home of former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, despite protests from opponents of a redevelopment plan.
The council's Housing Select Committee on Thursday decided that the property had no historical significance. The full council is expected to make a decision on Sept. 16.
The Victorian terraced house is one of 460 properties marked for demolition for a redevelopment project.
"Ringo Starr lived in the Madryn Street house for about three months before he moved to Admiral Grove, where he lived for about 20 years," said Flo Clucas, the council's executive member for housing.
"John Lennon and Paul McCartney's childhood homes were preserved because they spent a significant part of their lives in them," Clucas said, referring to other Beatles members.
Jeremy Hawthorn, who campaigned to keep the homes, said the council wanted "to clear working-class families out of this area to make way for expensive housing for richer people."

Ringo is not the most important member of this group. He wasn't the influential or charismatic musician as the other three were. I use "were" because the original Beatles are all deceased. Faul does not count and Ringo was a replacement for Pete Best, who was the most popular member of the band at that time.
I just could never really warm up to Ringo, though I tried. He was not my favorite.

He's playing Liverpool on Paul's birthday. I'd say the odds favor a Beatle reunion.
