Ringo talks about The Beatles documentary “Get Back” on Disney+, being captivated by Paul McCartney’s genius, a great postcard he once received from Paul, the inspiration to write “Octopus’ Garden,” rooting for the LA Rams, farting causing trouble amongst the band, who the gassiest Beatle was, sharing hotels on the road, finally getting the All-Starr Band back together for 22 dates, and his new book Lifted.

Paul McCartney said The Beatles were a "great" band, and they were so. That is because each of them brought different strengths to the band and they executed beautifully. Ringo once said that John played a song to challenge Ringo to play drums like what was heard on the song; Ringo said, "John, you DO realize that is more than one drummer playing, don't you?" John agreed but had confidence Ringo could do it. And Ringo DID do it! Ringo said that was the greatness of The Beatles, they were "always pushing the envelope."

If he's anything like me, that "treasure trove" of memories will be fading fast. Sure, we all remember major events in our lives, but I'm pretty sure I can't recall much of the ordinary stuff. Ringo's experiences as a performer would mostly blur into "ordinary stuff" - any given concert would become very much like the last two dozen he did... and the next two dozen. Remember... this may have been special and fun for us, the audience, but it was work for them. Day after day after day of doing very much the same thing. Not anywhere near as glamorous and exciting to do as to watch.

First of all, he is a worldwide treasure. In an age where people are being nasty left and right, this guy is positivity personified. Second, the guy is 80 years old for crying out loud. I hope I'm one tenth as alive when I'm that age. Third, you know he's told those stories for 50 years (e.g., how "Octopus's Garden" was inspired -- "Pete's boat" indeed) but the stories are as fresh as if he just remembered them for the first time in years. BTW, I love that Jimmy is in awe but is a great kidder. It's like they were great friends there. They aren't friends in the normal sense. We all feel like we know Ringo (millions upon millions of us) and he his generous enough to feel like he knows you too. I'm a huge, huge fan of him as a human being and as an artist.

Ringo and Paul were likely the closest band mates instrumentally because bass and drums have to form a tight bond to be successful. This is possibly one of the most overlooked aspects of the Beatles. Sure their harmonies were terrific and everyone likes to point that out. But listen closely to how in sync the drums and bass are in any one of their songs. And Ringo was an absolute artist on the drum, so much so that it meshed perfectly with the theme of the song and go somewhat unnoticed when compared with the vocals and guitar.

It's quite nice. I think he was selling the song short here just because of his humility, but there's more to it than just an octopus's garden under a sea. To me the song evokes the feeling of safety in your own little bubble with your buddies. That line "we would be warm below the storm" is really something. George Harrison said something about this in an interview too, he thought the song was quite nice for that reason, a possible further reading
