I was wondering about this while looking at the places Ringo visited on his most recent All Star Hacks tour. What's with all of the casinos? Has it really come down to this for Ringo. Can't even play some nice, and somewhat larger, outdoor venues for fear of real spotty looking attendance. I guess the thought is that the poor blokes that wander over from the casino area in a drunken haze will be more receptive to "Boys" for the millionth time

Something really life-altering happened Saturday night as my wife, two of her sisters, their husbands and I parked and were heading into the Ford Theater in the Honeywell Center in Wabash, Indiana to see American English, an excellent Beatles Tribute band: my wife told her sisters we saw Ringo the Saturday before and he was hot, really good looking! My wife told her sisters Ringo never looked better! My wife basically wants to bed Ringo Starr! Jump his bones! That was a revelation, it was scary actually. My wife has never cared for Ringo but our seats were so close to the stage that she got a good look at him and his tight black jeans and liked what she saw. I was truly living in a Ghostbusters moment: "Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"? Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff. Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly. Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave! Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!" Far from mad, I was kind of pleased. While female fans for decades have wanted to bed Beatles, us guys like them because we think they are cool and we admire their money, their music making ability and their ability to score hot babes. We guy fans think that if our music heroes are popular with the ladies, that will somehow make us, as their fans, popular with the ladies. My life could change, my wife may become a diehard Ringo fanatic. We might be able to play the albums together, discuss the Beatles together and share Beatles books. In general, spend more time together. Wait a minute, I liked it better when she didn't like Ringo!

. . . My wife told her sisters Ringo never looked better! . . . Interesting. Along those same lines, this weekend we had some relatives over. I overheard two kids talking (one 14, the other 16). They were saying how gross Paul was to them, but how good Ringo looked. They thought Ringo's more naturally age-appropriate look made him look better than Paul's trying-to-look-younger-than-I-am look. I guess the tortoise really did beat the hare.

There is a quiet revolution going on where Ringo is becoming the "hottest" ex-Beatle if not the most commercially successful! Thanks, sayne, for no cracks at my expense about seeing a Beatles tribute band. I wore nondescript clothing, never screamed, never cried and politely turned down an offer to meet the band and buy their c.d. out in the lobby afterwords. It was my wife's idea furthering my suspicions that the tables are turning and I will become "The Beatles widower."
