Ringo at the hospital in 1969

 

Ringo seems so healthy today, but 55 years ago, on September 8, 1969, he was admitted to the hospital with intestinal issues.  He had surgery for the issues in 1979.   It was this time in the hospital that made Ringo miss the meeting with the other Beatles, which was recorded for Ringo to hear later.   Today that recording has historic significance.

The car accident

February 28, 1972 -  George and Pattie are in a bad car accident.  Thankfully they both survived and were about to heal from their injuries.   

John, George, and Ringo have all been in serious can accidents that caused them to be hospitalized.  Paul had his moped accident, but I don't recall any big car accidents for him. 

Warning ---photograph of George hurt in the car accident with blood coming down his face.  Stop scrolling if this might be too upsetting to you. 

 

Jerry Lewis Telethon

I've been looking for a photo of Ringo performing on the Jerry Lewis Telethon for years.    A long time ago someone was in a lively discussion with me claiming that Ringo did not perform on the Jerry  Lewis Telethon in 1979.  He only answered the telephones.    I said that he did perform.  Then I was asked to supply a photograph or video, which I could not do.   However --- today I can!   Here is Ringo playing the drums at the Jerry Lewis Telethon in 1979.

The Beatles are Back!

Greeted by Teenagers

Really is this a newsworth headline?   Weren't the Beatles almost always greeted by teenagers in the 1960's?
