Last night I had a dream where I woke up one morning with the radio having been played all night, and there were news reports everywhere chronicling the life and times of Ringo Starr. It became apparent that poor Ringo had passed on, and I was very saddened... but no matter how many TV shows or radios I turned on, I could get no details of how Ringo died. Even coming on the Internet, nobody was revealing anything - and that was very frustrating.
Eventually I discovered (happily) that Ringo had not died at all. What happened was, Ringo was out eating dinner at a popular restaurant. When the meal was over he walked to the showcase where the desserts are kept, and the chef pointed to a pastry that was made for "pretty good" drummers. Ringo insisted he was better than "pretty good", and so the chef appeased him by reaching over to a second pastry which was made for "Good" drummers. But before he could wrap this dessert up, Ringo in his usual funny way shook his head and said "No, I'll take THIS one" -- which was the last pastry that was reserved for "VERY GOOD" drummers.
So this had become a big tabloid news story. Ringo and his audacity for choosing his own pastry was all over the world news. The next thing I knew, Ringo and I were walking around talking like old friends, and I was telling him basically "don't worry about the negative publicity right now; just take it in stride and play along and eventually this story will die out and something new will take its place!"
Dreams are really weird sometimes, and I have many Beatles ones.

. . . Eventually I discovered (happily) that Ringo had not died at all. What happened was, Ringo was out eating dinner at a popular restaurant. When the meal was over he walked to the showcase where the desserts are kept, and the chef pointed to a pastry that was made for "pretty good" drummers. Ringo insisted he was better than "pretty good", and so the chef appeased him by reaching over to a second pastry which was made for "Good" drummers. But before he could wrap this dessert up, Ringo in his usual funny way shook his head and said "No, I'll take THIS one" -- which was the last pastry that was reserved for "VERY GOOD" drummers . . . Your dream reminded me of this joke which I've posted before: In the summer of 1969, a mail sorter at a New York post office received a letter addressed "To The Greatest Drummer in the World." There was no address or return address and the sorter wasn't sure what to do.
Fortunately, there was a former drummer who worked the front counter of the Post Office who promptly found Max Roach's address and forwarded the letter.
Max Roach received the letter and said, "Oh no, I'm not the greatest drummer in the world."
Max then promptly forwarded the letter to Gene Krupa, who said "Somebody must've made a mistake."
Gene then forwarded the letter on to Buddy Rich.
Of course, Buddy had been waiting his entire life for that moment. He read the words "To The Greatest Drummer in the World" and smiled from ear-to-ear as he ripped open the envelope.
He began to read the letter, "Dear Ringo..."

I dream a lot about a select few of the Beatles wives and I can't repeat those dreams here.
