Ringo Starr, the Cool Beatle. |
|
|
|
|
|
Okay, I have decided something: Ringo really does deserve his own page. I mean, he's really the cool Beatle and he has remained amazing throughout his ageing. He just turned sixty four on July 7, 2004. So, as a birthday present I, Brittanie Love, will now make a page on him. Of course, Jennifer Love will have to help me out a little, because she's got the resources such as DVDs and books, I only have the internet, so yeah. And, duh, I've never personally met Ringo (one of my friends mom's says that she went out with him, but I find that hard to believe because she's around the age of 58 and she's never been very popular with the bloaks) so these comments are just on my observations from watching stuff and reading things. And, this is a bold statement, but Ringo is my favourite Beatle personality wise. Paul's still my hotty, but Ringo I think is the only one that kept his sanity thoughout the whole thing. So, this one's for good ol' Ringo. |

"Ringo was simply the best drummer in Liverpool. Ringo also had a naive wit. He didn't know when he was being funny. Ringo talked in titles. We'd have to follow him around with a pencil, you never knew what he was going to say next."--~~Paul McCartney, Off the Record |

Alright, first off, the basics.
*Ringo is the oldest member of the Beatles born July 7, 1940.
*Ringo was born left handed, but his grandmother thought that that meant that he was possesed by the devil, so she made him switch to right handed.
*Ringo is the only Beatle with blue eyes.
*Ringo was the shortest member of the Beatles as well.
*Ringo was (DUH!) the drummer.
*There was a campaign to elect Ringo as the President of the States in 1965 (I think that was the year, not sure though), he didn't win. Darn.
*Ringo was often sick as a child, and as a result did not get as much schooling as some, earning him the reputation as stupid. Being hardly able to read and write at fifteen.
*When Ringo was a little kid he was sick in the hospital. And when he tried to hand a toy bus or truck to the lad in the next bed, Richard fell out of his own bed. He hit his head and got a concussion, going into a coma for three months. (Poor Fella). |

At this point, I would like to make some remarks that some people may not like, but bare with me, it'll get better, just read the whole thing. Okay? Fab.
Ringo is infamouse for his rather large nose. Or, as Jennifer's grandpa calls a big nose, his noss, also referred to as a schnoz or a muzzle. And yes, his nose was on the economy size side of the spectrum. And it did look rather bad in the early days. That was partially because of his hair cut. But later, it seems that he grew into his nose. I know that sounds awful and mean, but it's really not. In my oppinion Ringo aged the best out of the group. (Even though I really can't speak for John...). So, though people make fun of his nose, I don't mind it, because he grew into it as they say. And it really wasn't that bad to begin with. |

Another thing that foxxes me is his eyebrow. Up until about 1967, Ringo had two full eyebrows. But then, in 1967, his left eyebrow was only HALF OF AN EYEBROW! Part of it is missing!!! It amazes me. And if I could ask Ringo just one question, it would be, "Ringo, what happened to your eyebrow in 1967?" Because I have noticed that to this day, it has not grown back! Could it be surgery? An accident maybe? Or, perhaps, one day when they were high, George decided to give Ringo an eyebrow pluck with a weed wacker? That's my brother's theory, which I find mean, but amusing. I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!! It frusterates me each time that I see a picture of him and his eyebrows.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, here is a page about it. That's right, a whole page dedicated to Ringo's eyebrow. Pathetic, huh? Oh well, we all get our kicks different ways.
