Ringo Starr Was Right to Praise His Drumming and Give John Lennon a ...

Ringo Starr’s Beatles bandmates often overshadowed the drummer. The timekeeper born as Richard Starkey shined on several occasions, but John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison took the spotlight much of the time. Ringo got it wrong when he said young drummers would never get anywhere listening to his playing. But he always got it right with his Fab Four beats. Ringo also got it right when he praised his drumming on The Beatles’ song “Get Back” while giving John Lennon’s guitar playing a backhanded compliment.

The Beatles were barely holding it together when they convened for the Get Back sessions, songs that surfaced as their final album, Let It Be.

Paul pushed (and pushed and pushed) for a cohesive return to the band’s roots. George, fed up with never having an opportunity to rise above third wheel, got in a fight with John, temporarily quit the band, and went into a shell at home.
