I first became a fan of The Beatles when I was fourteen years old circa 1990, more than twenty-five years after the band first became popular. My fascination with The Beatles began when I watched a documentary all about them. I especially liked John Lennon because I felt that he had more charisma than the other Beatles, and a better singing voice. I knew then that the world had been robbed ten years before when John Lennon was shot dead in New York. I can vaguely remember the death of John... Read Full Story

When I think about the renowned British rock band The Beatles, I automatically envision John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Even George Harrison springs to mind before Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. To be fair, Ringo Starr probably deserves far more recognition than he commonly receives. As the drummer in The Beatles, Starr initiated a fresh style of rhythm in pop music. If you listen to modern day rock bands, you can tell that many drummers have been heavily influenced by Ringo Starr. In truth... Read Full Story
The Beatles may not have performed live for more than four decades but fans still cant get enough of the music the remaining band members are still making. It has been a long time since Ringo Starr had a mop top but he is still performing with an all star crew he put together.

Ringo Starr has performed at... Read Full Story
The Beatles are still making headlines after intimate portraits of Ringo Starr and John Lennon went on display in a New York City exhibition yesterday. The portraits have never been released to the public, making them a great weekend activity for all the Beatles music lovers out in New York. One of the coolest facts about the pictures is that Nancy Andrews, once Ringo Starrs fiance, took some of the pictures. The ones not taken by Andrews are from May Pang who started as the band's...

Attention Beatles lovers! Do you remember those episodes on the Mike Douglas shows when John and Yoko cohosted? Well, I do and think Ive hit the motherlode. I bumped into Michael Krauss, the original producer of the shows. It turns out he lives right here in my hometown! I was talking to him about the shows and he showed me some old relics from back in the day. I convinced him to put them together in a scrapbook containing everything. The scrapbook will contain photos, old interviews... Read Full Story
I think one of the reasons that the Beatles have been enduringly popular from the 1960s until now is that ordinary people can relate to them. The Beatles come from working class roots, and none of them ever forgot where they came from. Paul McCartney has always kept it real. Thats why the latest news about him returning to his hometown, Liverpool, to play a show at Anfield stadium for 36,000 fans doesnt surprise me at all. The NME music website describes the June 1 event in full. Paul... Read Full Story
I have enjoyed the sounds of Beatles music for as long as I can remember. The Beatles were at the height of their popularity when I was a young child, so I remember the Beatles music very well.

These artists were not only great musicians but also fun... Read Full Story
