The Distract me from 2020s P&CE Thread Part Deux

To those who think that Ringo was trash

"Let’s say, I think it’s possible for John and Paul to have created the same thing with two other guys,” Lennon said. "It may not have been possible for George and Ringo to have created it without John and Paul. OK?”

While a little harsh, it's easy to see why Lennon might have thought that.

The Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership wrote countless Beatles songs that proved to be incredible chart successes. These credits included such songs as Love Me Do, Please Please Me and She Loves You to name just a few.

However, it's important to note that George Harrison and Starr wrote some massive songs on their own, as well. The former, particularly, penned some of the band's biggest and best hits of all time, including Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Here Comes the Sun and Within You Without You.

Lennon did go on to speak highly of the pair's musicianship, however. He said: "That doesn’t take away from the individual talents that they have. Ringo was a star in his own right in Liverpool before we even met. Ringo was a professional drummer who sang and performed and was in one of the top groups in Britain, but especially in Liverpool. So Ringo’s talent would have come out one way or the other."

I'm the one on record here as not a big fan, but it's the era and style of rock drumming that I'm not a fan of, not Ringo in particular. He simply is the biggest name of the era. Not a fan of Keith Moon, even tho I like the songs they play on. I don't HATE their playing, but I don't love it, either. Bonham didn't suffer from that "hangover from swing style" playing they did sometimes. My ear gets acclimatized to a song overall, and I know when those guys recorded those songs, so it's all good. But I wouldn't choose Ringo to put in a band playing 70s rock. I would absolutely choose

 

The first 40 seconds or so will do.

This is the kind of thing those earlier rockers did not have in their bags.

 

How about the Beatles themselves singing their top songs in German?
I've got an LP that wasnot for sale, but was used as a gift for relations, German relations I suppose, of the record company. It's quite funny to listen to.

When The Beatles Sang in German - ThoughtCo
The Beatles Sang in German with Camillo Felgen's Help On January 29, 1964 in a Paris recording studio, The Beatles recorded two of their hit songs in German. The instrumental music tracks were the originals used for the English recordings, but the German lyrics had been hurriedly written by a Luxembourger named Camillo Felgen (1920-2005).

I'm a big fan of classic Who but appreciate many of the drummers from that era. Ringo, Watts, Bonham, Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell .

This is peak Who IMO and one of my favorite live performances. Not exactly sure why The Stones had them on to totally crush it & make them look pedestrian in comparison.

 

Who you having German relations with, FM?

 

Tom Brady says he's really retiring this time. I guess this last year was worth his marriage?

 

What did dude do to his face? lookin like Zoolander

 

Never marry until your career is over. Tata Martino's wife is the reason he ain't still in Atlanta. I don't get why Gisele couldn't just let this man go to his job in the morning.

Sometimes jobs have an element of danger. You go to work, and you come home with your sword or you come home on your sword. Either way is fine, but quitting because your wife is scared you'll get hurt??? Injury is just part of combat.

 

vintage classic, Smurf.

 

Because she made just as much money as he did, and she put her career on hold and then he refused to put his away when they he had agreed.

I don't get why she didn't realize for years that this is who he was when she'd wake up in the morning.

I love you man, but your takes on women are just.... smh.

 

I didn't know she had put her career on hold for him. He had no business asking her to do that, and she had none volunteering if that's what happened. She was a supermodel, and should have remained one.

It's not about women. It's about spouses in general. I know of instances where a woman was taken away from something she should have been allowed to continue doing. Marriage has no business doing that to people..

I don't think he's a good guy or anything, just saying that people should continue to do what they do for a living when they marry, unless what they do is run around on their spouse..

 

The problem was not his career but that he accepted a transfer to Florida. She was the sensible one in this situation.

 

They were one of the highest-earning couples in America, had to be.

It's not like they had to live in FL. Brady could have flown in from ATL or NOLA. Hell, at this point, Birmingham's better than FL.

 

And then you get pissed off at parents who don't have the time/can't be bothered to take care of their kids.

The ******** do you want? Every single couple who decides to have children has to make this decision. If you just want to call them dumb********s for having children, then do so.

You talk about these women you've dated that you have thankfully not stayed with. I'm thinking that the feeling is mutual, and that these women have dodged a bullet too.

 

There is nothing in any of my posts that should have you posting at me this way. I haven't denigrated women or any other group.

I didn't know they had children. That changes things.

How does that spill over into women and me??? Man, if something I say ever again triggers you this way, I'd appreciate it if, in the future, you'd say something before you get this angry.

 

Hold on.....

You were completely ignorant about their entire situation, but felt the need to comment on their relationship and career choices? I just assumed you wouldn't comment if you didn't know.

 

No, I would not expose a child of color to today's America, or to the one I grew up in. But they aren't Black.

 

I give up, rsl. You're gonna have to accept me as I am.
