Funny thing is Ringo is pulling nearly 400 million in net worth.

Someone posted the other day on here that their young Uber driver legit did not know or at least recognize the Beatles. Hard to fathom, but I guess it's possible for younger people. I do know older people who would not know Ringo though.

Honestly it would be odd to expect young people to know them, especially out of context of the band

TBT when Kanye performed at the Grammys with Paul McCartney.

A common retort was “who is this old white dude. Ye gone make him famous”

Technology has basically made most of the generation 35 and under brain dead.

I noticed that Barbara Bach caught his attention and she's 79. They've been married 43 years, which is an accomplishment for celebrities. Too bad she didn't appear in the clip.

Was Ringo wearing the mask to be incognito or is he sick?

Expecting teens today to know the Beatles is like expecting '70s teens to know Rudy Vallee.

The impressive thing is any young people know them. Some even like them.

Not really. The Beatles were the starting point of modern rock music. They are culturally relevant today.

I wouldn’t expect them to recognize them on the street, especially since they are old men, but they should recognize their names and know who they are.

The generation now under 30 for the most part is grossly ignorant of history. We were talking the other day and having a WW2 discussion and I asked a younger Indian buddy from Canada if he had any forebears in WW2. He replied "bro my family is from India" I was like uh yeah I know......he was clueless millions of Indians fought in WW2 on many fronts including their own theater.

He had no idea, he initially replied to me like I was a dumbass lol.

they should, but whether they do is another matter

I read an article a couple of years ago where young people were asked about the Beatles. Most had heard the name but were uncertain about just what they'd done - one girl guessed that they'd sung "Daydream Believer" (ironically, not a bad guess in context )

In fairness most people now in their 40s and 50s barely knew dick about WW2 in their 20s. Just what was taught in middle/high school which is barely scratching the surface.

Someone in their 30's asked me the other day who did the "she's got a ticket to ride" song. Hey, at least they kinda knew the song.

Unpopular opinion: Wings was a damn good band.

There is a third option. Some people are in such frail health that they have to take precautions like that. He’s almost 80, so that could be the case.
