Geez, seems like only a short time ago I was listening to a local radio program celebrating Macca's 70th. Not surprised he's still going strong.

"Officially" announced by Paul in April '70 but rumors had been rife for months (in the industry, I guess, because everything seemed rosy to an 8th grader hearing the singles and even album cuts from Abbey Road on top-40 AM radio in the fall of '69 to spring of '70).and to think the Beatles broke up nearly 50 years ago.
As you may be aware, tensions had actually been simmering even as far back as the White Album sessions and were brought to a boil by the battle over who the new manager should be:He would have been like 27 at the time, something like that, which is still so young, and the greatest band just totally ended it all.
Right, it was the tune that made me read the credits on Goodbye very closely, discovering the presence of one "L'Angelo Mysterioso" on that tune.Give George Harrison credit for "It Don't Come Easy" - he basically wrote it, and gave the sole credit to Ringo to help him financially. Very similar riff to George's riff in Cream's "Badge".

Those Beatles cover bands never last, they always break up in the end.up here in Henniker NH, they have these Tuesday night outdoor concerts downtown in a park. next tuesday is Beatles night, some Beatles cover band. I got to tell you I am really looking forward to that.
When John wrote the line "I am the Eggman" Paul reportedly said "Yes, and the Yoko's on you."What does a furry say when having a pun pointed at them?
ONO

And the light went on.
'Cause I thought it was Clapton on "It Don't Come Easy" when I first heard it because of the tone.
:glee:
Still, point was that it was actually Ringo who got the first "radio ready" solo album out under his own name.
Yep.Have to love Ringo!
