RINGOS BIRTHDAY WISH LIST! PEACE&LOVE
Ringo was recently asked by Access Hollywood what he hoped to receive for his upcoming birthday (July 7th). Ringo's answer was unconventional, he said, "just more Peace & Love." Then he expanded his wish further, "it would be really cool if everyone, everywhere, wherever they are, at noon on July 7 make the peace sign and say "Peace & Love."

I can do that for Ringo. That's a happy day. But it's also a sad day for me. It will be 2 years since Syd Barrett left this world on July 7, 2006. Happy coming birthday Ringo, god bless Syd.

Ringo Starr brings 'peace' to ChicagoBeatles fans flock to Hard Rock Hotel for birthday wishBy Melissa Patterson | Chicago Tribune reporter
8:50 PM CDT, July 7, 2008
All Ringo Starr wanted for his 68th birthday was a little "peace and love," he said.
He got it Monday from about 300 fans who lined an entire city block along East Wacker Place near Chicago's Hard Rock Hotel to sing "Happy Birthday" to the ex-Beatles drummer and flash peace signs in the air.
"What a great birthday gift!" said Starr, surrounded by television cameras. "If you could pan around, you could see Chicago is full of peace and lovers."
The hotel had arranged a celebration for Starr's birthday a few weeks ago after planners heard him say in a TV interview that he would love it if everyone in the world stopped what they were doing at noon July 7 to flash a peace sign, said Hard Rock spokeswoman Kathleen Henson.
When organizers heard the drummer would be in Chicago on that date as part of a tour with his All-Starr Band, they asked him to attend, Henson said. The band will play at Northerly Island on Sunday.
"It's a fantasy, and it's a dream I have," Starr said Monday, "that one minute, one day, one month, one year, everyone will go peace and love."
The aptly named Perfect Peace Cafe and Bakery in Chicago's Gresham neighborhood was chosen to bake about 300 miniature cupcakes that were distributed to members of the crowd, as well as a sheet cake bearing the Hard Rock logo.
"The Beatles hit America when I was 4 years old," said longtime fan Nick LoChirco of Darien, who enjoyed a piece of cake. "My first words were, 'Yeah yeah yeah.' "
Karen Swiat of Tinley Park said she had been waiting in front of the Hard Rock since 9 a.m. with her husband, daughter and best friend. A Beatles fan for almost 50 years, she said her reasons for loving the band have changed over time.
"Then I was a crazy teen—just in love," Swiat said. "Now the message is so important."
People in the crowd who were wearing Beatles memorabilia were plucked from the crowd to stand near Starr during his 15-minute appearance. Starr signed autographs and posed for photographs with a lucky few, and also autographed two drum cymbals that the Hard Rock will auction off for a peace-related charity, Henson said.
Similar gatherings—sans Starr—were planned for Monday at Abbey Road Studios in London, at Capitol Records in Los Angeles, and at Central Park's Strawberry Fields in New York, according to Starr's Web site,
http://www.ringostarr.com.
Starr's Chicago appearance was originally scheduled for Buckingham Fountain, and many people never learned of the change, said Joe Dugan of Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood.
Dugan, who carried a massive anti-war banner, was next to the Grant Park fountain with about 35 other fans at noon when someone got word by cell phone that Starr was at the Hard Rock, he said.
"All of us started running," Dugan said. "It was like a marathon."
