The joke also assumes that you know there was another drummer in the Fab Four: namely, Paul McCartney, who was a mean sticksman himself, having stepped into the breach when Ringo had temporarily quit the band in the summer of 1968 ( Back In The USSR) or simply wasn’t available (The Ballad Of John And Yoko). Ringo Starr performing with The Beatles in Germany, 25th June 1966. Starr was definitely not from the jazz school of percussion, but his distinctive thwack - particularly in the experimental days of Revolver and Sgt Pepper - influenced a generation. The joke also relies on a couple of assumptions: firstly, that you think that Ringo is a rubbish drummer, something that quite plainly isn’t true. Peter Jackson's recent documentary Get Back shows that even when times were tough and relations were strained between the four musicians, everyone still loved Ringo.īut nobody seems to have been able to find actual evidence of Lennon ever saying the words.
After all, following the acrimonious split of The Beatles in 1970, Ringo performed on solo albums by both John AND George Harrison. Some Beatlologists claim that despite John having a barbed sense of humour, even that seems like a step too far for him. It was also included on their first UK album, Please Please Me.John and Yoko during their week long Bed in for peace at Queen Elizabeth Hotel Montreal May 1969. "Ask Me Why" is a song by the Beatles originally released in the United Kingdom as the B-side of their hit single "Please Please Me". I'll say I love you and I'm always thinking of you. That I know that I-I-I-I should never, never, never be blue.Īnd in time you'll understand the reasons whyīut you're the only love that I've ever had. And it's true that it really only goes to show
