RINGO:A view from behind


Ringo quotes from the 2007 Rolling Stone interview

about Kurt Cobain:

“Kurt Cobain was really powerful. He had great songs that were about the time he lived in. And that attitude…. Though he was this kid, this angry motherfucker, I never felt that. I always felt that inside he was a really loving guy.”

about rather new music (2007):

“Last year, the Magic Numbers were my band. I love them. Amy Winehouse has a really cool sound. There’s a lot of people out there, but most of them only get a chance to make one CD….”

jokes about last time he saw The Rolling Stones:

“Mick got us the tickets, and we had great seats, but we were watching the screens the whole time. I thought, ‘Well, I can watch this on TV.’ So I haven’t been to a stadium show since….”

Lat time he saw Bob Dylan live:

“Some days, he gives you very clear Bob, and some days he gives a Bob that doesn’t want you to understand what he’s saying."

discusses the seemingly endless impact of The Beatles’ music:

“The kids are listening. That’s the incredible part…. You could play it now for people in blindfolds, and they’d think it was from today….”

speaks solemnly about the passing of John and George:

“With John, it was such a shock that you dealt with it later. With George, you dealt with it as it was going on, which was harder in its way. But you have to say, ‘Life is life. It happens…’ ”
