Abbey Road honored!

Abbey Road is being designated as a place of 'national importance,' says the British Government.
It's one of the top toursit attractions in London and is near EMI Studios, where the Beatles recorded!
There a thousands of people who try to cross the zebra crossing and recreate the album cover. They even have an Abbey Road online webcam! I also heard that more accidents occur there than anywhere else.
Unfortunately, while Abbey Road was saved, Ringo's original home at 9 Madryn Street. is being destroyed.
Many fans tried to save it and it just doesn't seem fair since all three of the other Beatle's homes are still around. Apparently, it's not in good condition nor safe. At least we can remember it as Ringo does w/ Ringo's song, "Liverpool 8."

Here are some alternate shots of the famous photo shoot to make the Abbey Road Cover. I also recently heard that John's white suit sold for a lot of dough

Ringo Starr and Ben Harper

Here's an interview that I found that came up on Myspace when I checked in today. It's been a while since a post and I'm sorry about that. I started broadcasting school which takes up a ton of time but I promise to try to update this as much as possible.
Anyways, I love this interview! Ringo is so open and I love when he says, "I'm a drummer, not a plumber!" It just made me laugh and I also thought it was interesting that he had played on "Imagine" which I didn't know about but he also mentioned "Come Together" and "Rain" as the song where his playing seemed to change.
Enjoy this because it put a smile on my face!
