We are all part of the All-Starr Band

You can't spell "Beatles" without "Beat". Take the Beat away and you're left with Les. I have no idea who Les is. Nice guy? Maybe. But he's not four cheeky lads from Liverpool who forever changed the way we do everything, from holding hands to coming together. And who kept the Beat for the Beatles? Ringo Starr, that's who.
For the longest time, people have sought to diminish Ringo's contributions to what is arguably the greatest rock band of all time, which is unfortunate, misguided and unfair.
If you're one of these people, simply take this short quiz and find out how wrong you are:

HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT THE BEATLES?

Were/Are you John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison or Ringo Starr?

a) Yes

b) No

• If you answered "a", you get 100 points. Unless you're lying, in which case you get zero points because we do not reward liars.
• If you answered "b", you get zero points

SCORING:

• 100+ points = You know a lot about the Beatles!
• 0 - 99 points = You don't really know anything about the Beatles.

"B" respondents: None of these guys is you

So as you can see, you either know how important Ringo was to the Beatles or you know nothing at all. Either way, there's no point in us telling you about it.

Ringo Starr is a man who has dedicated his life to promoting the concepts of Peace and Love, just like us. He does it though music and being a benevolent spirit. We do it through butt-kicking, style and driving the ladies wild.

We love you too. Relax.

He celebrated his 75th birthday the other day and we wish him the best.

More Peace and Love from Jeff and Michael later this week...
