Still Fab After All These Years
 Beloved rock legend Ringo Starr gets by with a little help from his friends

Everybody considers Ringo Starr the goofy Beatle. The likeable Beatle. The Beatle with the least songwriting talent. The Beatle with the best knack for self-promotion. But Starr, born Richard Starkey in 1940, didn’t just accidentally replace original drummer Pete Best. And Ringo was surely no pushover to the more forceful personalities of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. In fact, all three actively lobbied to get Starr, who was already an established member of Liverpool band Rory Storm & The Hurricanes, into The Beatles after Best was unceremoniously sacked in 1962.
