Awww, that was great! Ringo's so cool. I liked when he was showing how he worked out the drum parts to some songs. It was cute when he was talking about working with George on his stuff. George always wanting to put in something about Krishna or God. Heh. "I'd like to be in Krishna's garden." "Noo!!" Great interview.

oh I know the drums. and when he was talking about their crazy ideas. "sod it let's just walk across the road"

I hope they show it again or that I can watch it on On Demand. I can't wait to see him live in July!

I WISH I HAD HBO!!! SO SAD!!

I'm watching it again at the moment. That part just cracks me up! All their big ideas: coming out of a volcano, up on mountains, etc. then...ah, let's just walk over there! Then the fans: Look at what they thought of!!!

Ringo's great. Too funny.
