quote:
“Ringo is not even the best drummer in our band” — John Lennon

quote:
That famous line was never actually said by John Lennon, but rather originated as a 1981 BBC radio comedy bit later popularized by comedian Jasper Carrott.

The Origin of the Quote
The Lennon Myth: Popular lore falsely claims John Lennon used the put-down when asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world.

The Real Source: Music historians and Beatles experts like Mark Lewisohn confirmed the joke actually debuted on the BBC show Radio Active in October 1981.

Lennon's Actual View: John Lennon and the rest of the band held Ringo in high regard, with Lennon calling him the "best rock drummer" during past studio separations.
