Rambling on Ringo



The lovely drawing you see above is by brazilian cartoonist Ademir Antônio Bacca and for me it captures so much of what Ringo means to me that I just had to share it with you lot out there. Hope you enjoy it.

Today's post will not be about any of Ringo's movies or even albums. I'm just taking a break here, I guess trying to make this a more interesting blog where I can also spill out of my rambling mind some thoughts and/or ideas that I suppose are interesting enough for me to expose them. Hope you don't mind. Don't expect anything highly philosophical, though. Want proof? Here's what crossed my mind today:

I would love to see a book completely dedicated to Ringo's movie career (and another one about his solo music output, but that's another story) and while I do know that such a book almost exists (the "almost" being that it covers everything else in his life - it's called Ringo Starr: A Life - but as I understand, it is written in a somewhat condescending way, which is wrong, naturally), I think that simply out of fun, someone should really consider such a possibility as a sure-fire winner, considering the variety and overall quality of the movie projects he was involved with. I mean, I bet that somewhere out there there's a book about "Toilet jokes The Beatles told while in the toilet", so why not this one, right?
