Ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, Bee Gees' Barry Gibb tapped as British knights

Congrats to Ringo and Gibb. I did not know that Ringo was in his late 70's. Looking good dude.

Ringo, in my opinion, one of the most overlooked characters in the rock and roll show, if being a member of the Fab Four makes that possible. I saw this a little while ago on the tv, as many may also have, but it was interesting, so I thought I'd share. If you have a chance to read "Tune In" it does a fine job detailing Ringo's family upbringing and musical career. What a life and what perseverance against the odds. Fave Ringo tune? I'd vote Photograph.

Officially, "Hello, my name is Sir Ringo"

Ringo Starr receives knighthood

 

[Wardo]

Apparently he used his real name being Richard.

A long time coming but deserved as much or more than many of the show bizz gongs that get handed out.

Good for him. He helped to shape my musical taste and likes at a very young age.

Ringo is looking like a fine wine! Aged to perfection.
