Sgt. Pepper Cowboy

 

When Ringo was on Jimmy Kimmel the other night, he was presented with a Sgt. Pepper inspired cowboy hat.   I think it really suits him!  I hope he wears it on stage at the Grand Ole Opry.  

Lifted - A Book Review

 Ringo Starr has released a new book called "Lifted."   The book is full of Beatles era photos.  Most of these photos (according to Ringo himself) were ones that he found online over the past few years.  I can't help but wonder if Ringo ever came to this site and found photos of himself and his friends and was inspired to include some of those photos in this book.   There are some of the photos I am certain I have posted on here in the past.  

Anyhow -- the photos are mostly ones that aren't rare or unseen.  There are a few photos (maybe 4) that I had never seen from John and Ringo's trip to Tobago in 1966.  

Ringo has witty and funny things to say about each photo.   Nothing earth-shattering or newsworthy.    However, the things Ringo writes will make you chuckle and smile.   

Lifted is a very quick book to read and it is a light-hearted book which I think is needed right now because so many heavy things are going on.    

Is it a must-have Beatles book?   No -- it doesn't give any new insight into the Beatles at all.   Is it a should - have Beatles book?  Of course!   It is one of the few books that is about The Beatles and written by one of the Beatles!   Plus if you purchase this book, all of the proceeds go to Ringo and Barb's Lotus Foundation charity.   

You can only get this book from Julian's Auctions catalog.  They are selling fast -- so don't wait if you want to buy one.
