sleepy richard

yeah, richard looks tired here. and i know how he feels. i just caught myself like, chain-yawning after my last cigarette. so yeah, part of me wants to just pass on this for the night, but i finally got this thing back on track after so long, and i really don't wanna give up after three or four nights, so yeah, tonight you're gonna get whatever i can come up with. hard for me to believe i used to think ringo was so unattractive. he's actually really super-looking. and i love him when he looks all somber and cool like this. and i predict he may very probably be the 'last beatle standing.' i mean, he's only got one more to outlive... and i daresay paul's had a lot more drama in his life lately than richard. i think jean-lucien saw a recent-ish clip of richard performing live, behind the drums... and in between singing lyrics he'd call out: "...what's my name....?" ummm, wow... that's a tough one. is it... is it... ringo starr? the act i paid to see when i bought my ticket?

cool richard

tonight's featured smoker is none other than mr. richard starkey himself. hey, i dig ringo as much as the next guy. and i like this shot... its nice and self-contained. it makes me want to roll some beatles. no, seriously, it does. it makes me want to hear richard himself take the lead on such great tracks as 'i wanna be your lover,' and 'shout.' (mmm, 'octupuss's garden? ehhh, not so much.) but you know i wouldn't 'pass by' a rolling of the funky 'don't pass me by.' so light one up for me, richard... if you ask me, you're the coolest beatle (left alive) on the planet.
