I was working behind the bar last night - and there was a group of annoying regulars who always end up talking about the early 60's and the Beatles. I just stand and listen - But on this particular occasion, a new guy was there...and the conversation turned to Ringo. They were all laughing about him, cracking the usual jokes, until a young fellow blurted out the classic line:
"Lennon said that Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles"
Suddenly I felt my Ringo protectiveness boil over, casually walking over, I calmly spoke out
"I suggest you listen to some choice songs such as Rain, She Loves You, Paperback Writer, Tomorrow Never Knows, A Day In The Life, Get Back or Being for the Benefit of Mr.Kite - so you never know...you might learn something"
and then walked off to collect some empty glasses.
Their faces . .. .... priceless
