Baby You're a Star

 

April 14, 2009 -

On this date, George Harrison received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  I recall at the time feeling a little put off that George kept receiving awards after his death.  Why couldn't they have given him a star on the Walk of Fame during his lifetime?

Anyhow -- a lot of famous people showed up for the unveiling of the star.  Besides Oliva and Dhani, Paul was also there (no sign of Ringo though).  Also present was Joe Walsh, Tom Hanks, Eric Idle, Tom Petty,  and Jeff Lynne.

July 12, 2023 -  Ringo speaks at Shelia E's Hollywood star on the Walk of Fame unveiling.  

Ringo's Star!

I am happy that Ringo got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this past Monday. I am sad that I went on that trip to Hollywood this past July and have no plans of returning. Maybe I need to save my money once I return from my England trip to go back to L.A. so I can see Ringo's star! (That sounds really funny!!!) Some fans made it to the ceremony and here are some photographs they took.

My trip to Los Angeles!

At the Hollywood Bowl where the Beatles played in 1964 and 1965

I peaked inside the glass door at Capitol and snapped some photos of the Beatles things on the wall through the glass (I know...I am Beatle obsessed)


John Lennon's star

The top of Capitol Records...this reminded me of Ringo's Goodnight Vienna album cover.

I am now back from my trip to California. I had a great time! On Saturday I took a tour of Hollywood and saw as many "Beatles things" as I could think of. I wanted to share those photos with you all. Then back to the regularlly scheduled fan photos. Enjoy!
