Drawback of being a legend. No one has the balls to tell you to spit your gum out.

I can't imagine any person telling someone to spit their gum out unless they were a teacher speaking to a student.

When you're producing a documentary, you politely ask your guests to spit out their gum. Floor directors around the world ask on-air guests to spit out their gum.

I'm guessing that someone asked him to and he blew them off, or they were afraid to tell one of the greatest recording artists of all time how chewing gum affects audio.

John chewed gum in concerts and while recording

Okay, cool. That has nothing to do with what I said nor does it make me hate it less.

Or, you know, unless that person was speaking a ton during a recorded interview that was to be used for a documentary series.

Watching now. Paul's recall of the origins behind the songs, almost 60 years after the fact, is savant-like. I'm loving this.

The story of how John grew up is heart-breaking. All that abandonment and heartache helped make him arguably the greatest songwriter that's ever lived.

Paul looks good for just turning 79. Though this was done before that, obviously. But he has aged well.

This. The Beatles would of got back together had John lived.

Ringo says hello. And he turned 81 two weeks ago. He is 3 months older than John.

What a great moment at the end of ep 5.

No one would give a shite if this was Ringo

I disagree. We have heard from one of the lead guys I think it would be cool to hear from a “subordinate”. He was in the room. I’m not diminishing his role but know he had to have a different take than McCartney.

quote:

---

Sometimes he just goes with "I was the greatest drummer in the world in the greatest band in the world."

---

Does he do that often though? Most times I hear/see him, or even read about him, he just talks about how lucky he was to be in a band with three of the greatest musicians/songwriters in the world. I always kinda feel like Ringo knew he was sort of along for the ride, and he just lived it up and enjoyed the hell out of it. I bet it would be cool as frick to go back and live Ringo's life. There wasn't much pressure on him when compared to John/Paul rivaling and one-upping each other, or George trying to get out from under the L/M shadow.

Ringo was a technically proficient drummer who rarely made mistakes. And that's what the Beatles needed to succeed. Had he been as overbearing as L/M, or as needy as George (and I don't mean needy in a bad way), it may not have worked as well. Hell, I've heard interviews about how fans always wanted Ringo to have more songs on the albums, and he was always like "Nah, my one song is good enough for me." And he never even wrote them (outside of Octopus's Garden I believe).

Isnt Peter Jackson supposed to be putting out that movie with the rooftop performance for the let it be album?

Should be later this year. It's called "Get Back" after the Get Back sessions. And yeah, I believe it is supposed to have the full rooftop concert in it. This November looks like.
