Ringo is on the One Show

Despite one or two bad press moments over the last few years (......no more autographs......) I think he is okay.

Good feature regarding the harpist on HJH's 'She's Leaving Home'
...there was also a nice section with Danny Baker included as well.
when Danny did the Breakfast Show on BBC London
a woman phoned in on some Beatles/Abbey Road Studios related topic, I forget exactly, and said that her mother had played cello on Eleanor Rigby. Danny then got her mother to phone in and tell the story herself. I think it was an unexpected late night call and subsequent overnight recording session. Fascinating stuff for a "local radio" breakfast show. Another memorable Baker moment was the phone call from the woman who says "cashier number two please" on the recorded message at the Post Office (she was the PA to the MD of the company who made the announcement device). Very funny and of course, the woman's voice was instantly recognisable. I don't know if other local radio is as good as this (the BBC south coast stuff is awful) but Baker is a master at drawing out great stuff from listeners and thoroughly deserves his recent award.
Ringo is very strange
isn't he?
No he's not
Is this a 15-minute argument or a Ringo special? What's a Ringo special? Say no to every question then do the opposite. Try the banana concoctions Ringo. No. Then he tucks in because everyone else does. Comes from a lifetime of being the least popular Beatle and living in la-la-land I reckon.
He wasn't the least popular Beatle by a LONG shot.
Indeed, he was far and away the most popular in some parts.
In fact he got the most fan mail
When asked why he famously replied - because more people write to me.
He's also the Beatle who benefited most from the remastering - everyone already realised how good the other three were but you don't get any more smart-arse comments about him being a crap drummer any more - he was fantastic and unique
one minute he's all matey
as you'd expect...then he goes all cold and aloof. He was like that on the One Show. he seemed genuinely interested in Danny Baker's question about the replacement drummer though
Probably because it's one of the few questions
he hasn't heard innumerable times over the last forty or fifty years. If only Danny Baker wrote Chris Evans' scripts again.
If there was any justice
Then Danny would be sitting in evan's chair.
I do try to like Chris Evans but just never, ever raises even a smile with me, just don't find him funny at all. Dan on the other hand...
The Danny B section
was very enjoyable. Glad he's doing well.
It was driving me (and thereby the FPO) mad for two days
That bit of acoustic guitar over the first bit - Buckets of Rain, Bob Dylan.
