RIP Charlie Watts

I just thought it was appropriate as the news about the death of Charlie Watts has been announced today to share some photos of the Rolling Stones drummer with the Beatles drummer.

The kids in the car meet Ringo

photo by Rob Shanahan

Ringo didn't have to meet up with the "Kids in the car" photo that he snapped 50 years ago, but I am glad that he made the right choice and met with them during his Los Angeles appearance this past weekend.   I hope that they got an autographed print of the photo as well, because that would just be the icing on the cake.

Here is the official news information: 

Over the weekend in Las Vegas, Ringo Starr finally reunited with “The Kids in the Car” - the group of Beatles fans he snapped a photo of 49 years ago, and who now appear in his new book, ‘Photograph.’ The fans reminisced with Ringo, had a photo taken with him (by Rob Shanahan, who will be a guest at the NYC FEST in February), attended his concert, and also went to see a performance of ‘Beatles Love.’ As Ringo described it, the whole scene was “far out.”
