it doesn't ever happen, I think this interview, and the interview about his last time with George is the only time he's ever gotten emotional. He cried about George, which was hard to watch
“Do you want to stop that now?” That means he doesn’t want to talk anymore. Why press him? He’s talking about the murder of one of his best friends why make him talk about it to great length. Just because he’s a public figure doesn’t mean he isn’t a human being first.
I interpreted it as he felt bad for crying, English people from his generation are very stiff and tried to suck things up. You can see how the other Beatles handled talking about John’s death to see what I mean. Ringo didn’t seem to have a problem revealing some insight into it, he’s talked about John plenty of times.
I gained so much appreciation for Ringo after the Get Back documentary. He was a rock solid member of the group, showing up and working hard without ever complaining, even when morale was low and they were just spinning their wheels. It was amazing seeing how even when Paul and John would start messing around and making up a silly song, or start an impromptu cover, Ringo would immediately join in with a beat. He was an integral part of when they were noodling around to see if a song comes out, and just an integral element of the band overall.
I think that was about Ringo dismissing the fact that John could be really shot dead by thinking he must've been shot in the leg or the arm, that "stop it now" was addressed to him denying full implications of that internally
They all loved each other, all 4 of them. That doesn't mean that everything was perfect all the time, for sure there were low points. But the mutual love was more important I think.
Lisa Lentile he hated John. Someone asked John if Ringo was the best drummer in the world , and John answered that he’s not even the best drummer in the Beatles
@@mamabear1211 He was lucky, but that was because they wanted him in the band in the first place when they met. They liked his style of drumming and he got along well with the others unlike Pete They thought he fitted best with them. Ringo is the last key piece of The Beatles.
In Get Back on Disney+ there's a small scene where, I believe it's Linda McCartney, is speaking to someone and their conversation is just 'Ringo makes me happy' 'He has a beautiful soul'. Throughout the whole thing you can just grasp how good of a man he is.
1:17 the way he said Novemb instead of November was probably because he had to swallow that gulp of intense stress you get in your throat when you're on a point of breaking into tears, shows how strong his emotions were
The way Ringo Starr, now Sir Ringo Starr said, "November", must have been difficult for him to say, because 3 weeks later, he lost a close friend, and his "brother", John Lennon. He also stayed at The Dakota apartment, 3 weeks before the murder of John Lennon.
Isabelle Paras hes asking for them to turn the camera off because hes getting emotional and can't go on like that talking about the loss of one of his closest friends
Poor, Ringo. I think that, he wanted to stop the interview, because he was grieving, for his friend, and "brother", John Lennon. Ringo stayed at The Dakota apartment, just a few weeks before John Lennon died, on the 8th of December, 1980, aged just 40 years old.
This is a side of Ringo that the wider world don't normally see. He didn't just lost a friend, or a fellow musician. He lost a family member. A "brother", for a lack of a better term. You can't go through all the ups and downs with three other people like what The Beatles did between 1963-ish to 1970 without becoming family. No one can't take that away from Ringo, George, Paul, and John. We can see that here in how Ringo is talking. This video is hard to watch. The pain is so open and visible.

all those sad (talentless?) muppets who still try to put Ringo down need to get a grip... Yes, he was not a "flashy" drummer that did 15 minute (often boring) drum solos - what he was though, was the drummer of the Beatles that provided the perfect percussion to their unique magical mix of talent and collaboration and if you listen carefully to all their songs, you soon realize the drumming couldn't have been any different - or better...
Some tracks required no drums one version of love me do had another drummer because he was not availablemand he was not available on the ballad of john and yoko.But other than that he was always available and he played on everything except back in the u s s r because paul felt that he was doing it bette than ringo,but thats it as far as i know.Ringo was rock steady.
John said that Ringo was the only Beatle he ever got along with during the 70s when the Beatles broke up. Ringo was just a swell guy and John recognized that. Ringo was the last Beatle to have a photo with him as well.

The grief of losing a close friend.Reminds me of when my brother took his own life. It's been many years and the sadness and grief is always there...... I found that John was right Love is the answer.
As soon as he heard what had happened, he and his wife picked up and flew to New York to go and be with Yoko and Sean. Straight to their side. What a wonderful friend ..
@Barbara Nelson Paul suffered too. Not only grief, but also remourse over their falling out. At least they were able to patch up their friendship before John was killed. But they could have done so much more together, given more time. Do not judge the grief and sorrow of another. You don't know the pain he was masking inside. When my best friend died, we hadn't been on speaking terms for a very long time. Therefore, I didn't feel I was entitled to outwardly grieve. So I kept it inside. Trust me, that's torture. And it's a slow-releasing type of grief. If you don't allow yourself to grieve right up front, it only hits you harder as time goes by. He keeps it hidden well, but you can catch that sad look in Paul's eyes in different interviews about John throughout the years. And he's written songs for John, also. Don't judge.
@@barbaranelson8617 People are different they deal with loss in many different ways...just because they don't say much about it, doesn't mean they don't care.
It has been 41 years since that day. It still hurts. A lot of us grew up that day. Our childhoods with the Beatles seemed long ago. God Bless Ringo for his humanity. Peace and love to all. Especially now.
@@DiegoMontemayor34 John was the bigger asshole of the 4. Please don’t come at me this is well documented. He was an asshole because he was on harder drugs than the other three. George and Paul had problems during the last of The Beatles but they made up eventually.
@@lpycb42 John always had a kind of street punk presence, always challenging, spitting almost arbitrary confrontations. Maybe he changed, I don't know. I don't care; he was brilliant and IMO had the most beautiful singing voice of the 4 of them. But you get the feeling he treats everyone as an authority figure against whom he's rebelling - I mean in every single interview I've ever seen with him in any decade. Quite likely he never had a falling out with Ringo because he didn't see him as a competitor. But who knows. We always talk about them as though they're characters in a movie, don't we?
Title of this video should be changed to...“Ringo Starr starts to tell Barbara Walters (not 1981) about the last time he saw John Lennon, but then the video gets cut off just as he starts to tell her the story.”
1:25 "We see eachother wherever we are." He was still talking about John in the present tense. It was still so recent that Ringo hadn't yet fully accepted that John was really gone. 😥💔
Ringo is clearly still in mourning for John. He was the only Beatle that saw and hung with everyone after the breakup. Although he can write and sing, he clearly wasn’t the driver of the Beatles songs, so he didn’t have the ego or musical clashes that the other three did. I’m bglad he’s still around and looking great.
They all saw each other at separate times throughout the 70s George and Ringo played on John's albums in the early 70s John and George both played on Ringo's song I'm the Greatest (John wrote it) John and Paul reunited in LA in 1974 and Paul dropped by the Dakota numerous times as well Paul, George, and Ringo attended Eric Clapton and Patti Boyd's wedding in 1979, and even had a little jam session at the reception. John was on vacation in Japan at the time
I like the way he points at the camera after saying “The music is always more important”, meaning people shouldn’t get so obsessed with the artists to the point of doing insane things to get their attention.
Anyone who says Ringo was a boring drummer needs to listen harder, most of the great drummers credit him with influence, the most important is timing, he was like a clock, and second he actually gave a shit about the songs and didnt need to do 300 drum fills for his ego!
There was a period around the breakup and a bit after where he and Paul did not get along. He had been designated to ask Paul to delay the release of his solo album so that it wouldn't compete with the Beatles' upcoming release. So, Paul screamed at him and threw him out of his house. There were sour feelings there for awhile but they reconciled fairly quickly and Paul even acknowledges today that he completely overreacted with Ringo.
Ringo, the oldest Beatle was like the oldest Brother, too. He was the only Beatle to fly to NYC and pay his respects in person shortly after John was murdered. Ringo has never missed a beat in his life. ✌& ❤ Mr. Starkey!
he was the glue that kept the beatles together for as long as the did in the documentary you can see he was always there even in moments they didn't appreciate him as they should have he was a real friend
Ringo was the heart and soul of The Beatles. Without him they wont last. His charisma stood out among the 3. Imagine if Pete Best was not replaced. The Beatles will not last
Why cut this off when he was about to recount something happy about John? What is this fascination with seeing people suffering? It's almost a sort of 'bereavement porn'.
You really can see the pain behind his eyes, and see he's been crying, breaks your heart, I've allways had great respect for him, you can tell he's allways been down to earth, RIP John and George.
They (other 3) 'headhunted' Ringo... he had a reputation as a gr8 drummer... amongst the musos in general... his lovely demeanour (good natured - no egostistical shenanigans whatsoever) just made him all the more likeable... his drumming was always SPOT ON!!! Nice man... always admired him & still do even more noting his sensitivity during this interview...
Seeing Paul and George sad is one thing, but seeing good ole Ringo on this take really hurts a lot. So not used to seeing him like this, he's always like that untouchable happy little puppy. This hurts to see :(
John and Ringo always got along. There were times when John, George and Ringo were unhappy with Paul and times when John was unhappy with George and George was unhappy with John. And even Ringo's best friend in the group George even sued Ringo once because of his arrangement of a song he had written for him. But aside from Ringo being a bit annoyed and puzzled by John's activities with Yoko and her being at all the sessions and leaving the group for a few days during The White album sessions because he felt left out he and John never had a falling out as far as I know. Ringo drummed on the Plastic Ono Band album and Cold Turkey. John and the other two wrote songs for Ringo for his 1973 album. John's Nobody Told Me was actually a demo for Ringo that Ringo was going to do a version of an put on his 1981 album but after John's death he didn't want to use it and it was instead released as a posthumous John Lennon song. If John had stayed in the UK or Ringo moved to New York I think they would have collaborated even more. John and Ringo always liked each other.
By the way, Ringo's best drumming works in the Beatles' catalogue are mainly John's compositions: Rain, She Said, and A Day in the Life (mainly John).......
All of us Beatles and John Lennon fans were shocked and devastated by the news of John’s death but for those who actually knew him and loved him, it’s on a different level of grief. And for Yoko to have witnessed the whole thing. It’s just so heartbreaking and tragic. We miss you, John.
Respects to Ringo I know it's late but I been a Beatles fan 55 years plus...an I now see time they were thank them all for sticking together for all those great songs....peace
I would (future tense) cry when I was (past tense) exist (present tense) in 1980 at John Lennons dead. Don't tell me, you are an English major with an Obama phone and EBT card.
I remember my Dad coming to wake me up for work and saying that he'd been shot, couldn't believe it. Same with Freddie Mercury, I was staying with a french family when it happened and they kept saying SIDA which is french for AIDS, I didn't know what they meant...Got a book on John somewhere released to commemorate him after the event I think. Kenny Everett, that was another great loss....happy memories of watching with me Dad..:)
***** No, I'm entitled to nothing. My apologies to someone not from this country. There are however, too many people in this country who are too lazy to bother to proof read what they are about to post, and much comes out like frontier gibberish, when they know better. I'm for conveying a clear of a message/post as possible. No offense to someone who's first language is not English.
One thing that I respect about this is the fact that he's 100% REAL about how he FEELS. I live my life in the same way. I am very open about my emotions. I grew up with domestic violence and saw my mum emotionally and psychologically abused by my dad on a daily basis.. She was so kind and loving.. She never hurt anybody... He just enjoyed abusing her - making her feel like a pathetic, worthless piece of trash... I lost her to cancer when I was 23.. She was 47 when she died. That was 14 years ago but it still hurts me and I often have to hold back from crying when I talk about the way he treated her... People always seem to walk around in rose tinted glasses, pretending that the world is all perfect and peachy. Life isn't like that. People suffer deeply and it should be addressed more. You have to be real. Life can be very sad and very dark. You're only hurting yourself by pretending that it isn't.
So strange that I have come across this comment. I am in the middle of deciding if I should end things with a guy that isn't very emotionally intelligent and he becomes really irritated and condescending when I express my emotions (we think he might be on the autism spectrum for multiple reasons). But I feel so repressed, I feel trapped in that I cant express myself fully around him. I don't think he's a bad guy, I think that he genuinely has issues processing and understanding emotions. But when I am experiencing his reactions it feels like abuse. So I feel like its time to leave
[Dark Autumn 3D] I agree wholeheartedly, and I'm sorry you and your family had to go through all that. My dad was affected by domestic violence as a young child. He once told me, "Your feelings don't matter!" but by then I knew they did. Eventually I had the opportunity to support his feelings and he went from raging a lot to crying when he needed to. It's okay to have a good cry over how your dad treated your mum. You won't get stuck in it, you may feel better after, and you aren't alone. Peace & love.
@@86sineadw I hope he gets help if he can accept it, and I hope you get to be with someone who loves all of you. Strange that I should see this while trying to figure out if a guy who minimized my grief and made me feel too much fear to speak freely around him but whom I liked and felt attracted to is somewhat autistic or narcissistic or what. There is so much of this! Be well ☮️&❤️
I haven't seen this in 40 years and I'll never forget Ringo asking to stop filming because he was getting emotional and Barbara saying no. I always thought I must I have heard it wrong, but turns out I was right.
The thing I always liked was how mindful John Lennon was to include Ringo, and make sure he wasn't 'overlooked.' I always found that touching, that's the one thing I always remember when I think about John, he was very generous of spirit.
Always liked Ringo, what you saw was what you got, always honest and never full of himself, damn good drummer too .... never forget that. .. Sad ? Of course he's sad, wern't we all, but never like they were.
I remember watching this when I was a child. I was just 7 in 1981. Ringos reaction made me so sad, because you can see and feel his hurt. This hit him pretty hard. Because of the trauma of loosing his friend in such a violent way,he ended up having to go to rehab for alcoholism. As he stated.."Mr.Conductor" was wasted most of the time. He owes his sobriety to his beautiful wife Barbra Bach who supported him, and is still with him to this day...
Not only did Chapman who was trying to bring attention to himself kill John Lennon but his actions shocked millions of fans who loved his music and in general his humanness. John wasn't perfect, he made lots of mistakes like most of us do but his amazing music will always shine on in our hearts. His death was even far more difficult for his band mates who spent countless hours writing music and playing songs with him going through a lot of ups and downs but they genuinely cared about each other. It had to be an unbelievably tight relationship to produce such a catalog of brilliant music in a 6 year period.
I don’t like seeing ringo sad, it makes me sad
yeah he always happy
it doesn't ever happen, I think this interview, and the interview about his last time with George is the only time he's ever gotten emotional. He cried about George, which was hard to watch

The grief of losing a close friend.Reminds me of when my brother
took his own life. It's been many years and the sadness and grief is
always there...... I found that John was right Love is the answer.
Love you Ringo...
he specifically said that he didn't wanna talk about it anymore, with tears in his eyes, but the interviewer kept going...
Ringo has the biggest heart out of all the beatles. He is a very sensitive and loving man. I love that about him.
Only after he got sober.
Ringo was cool
As soon as he heard what had happened, he and his wife picked up and flew to New York to go and be with Yoko and Sean.
Straight to their side. What a wonderful friend ..
The way he immediately remembers the date of the last time they met... that tells a lot, doesn't it?
Francklyn That’s better than Paul does.
@Barbara Nelson Paul suffered too. Not only grief, but also remourse over their falling out. At least they were able to patch up their friendship before John was killed. But they could have done so much more together, given more time. Do not judge the grief and sorrow of another. You don't know the pain he was masking inside.
When my best friend died, we hadn't been on speaking terms for a very long time. Therefore, I didn't feel I was entitled to outwardly grieve. So I kept it inside. Trust me, that's torture. And it's a slow-releasing type of grief. If you don't allow yourself to grieve right up front, it only hits you harder as time goes by. He keeps it hidden well, but you can catch that sad look in Paul's eyes in different interviews about John throughout the years. And he's written songs for John, also. Don't judge.
@@themaggattack Beautiful words
@@barbaranelson8617 People are different they deal with loss in many different ways...just because they don't say much about it, doesn't mean they don't care.
He will of been internalising the last time they met, and coming to terms that it was the last time, since he died
It has been 41 years since that day. It still hurts. A lot of us grew up that day. Our childhoods with the Beatles seemed long ago. God Bless Ringo for his humanity. Peace and love to all. Especially now.
True dat man, I'm a scouser
🪦
Rip
I love Ringo, I wish Ringo was my friend
He would have been the only one who saw him in 1980. He’s the only Beatle that Lennon never had a falling out with
He never had a fall out with any Beatles actually, unless if it’s necessary ofc
@@Truefredking2 ringo didn’t. John did
@@sliat1981 Ringo never had problems with the other three, but there was problems between John/Paul, John/George and Paul/George
@@DiegoMontemayor34 John was the bigger asshole of the 4. Please don’t come at me this is well documented. He was an asshole because he was on harder drugs than the other three. George and Paul had problems during the last of The Beatles but they made up eventually.
@@lpycb42 John always had a kind of street punk presence, always challenging, spitting almost arbitrary confrontations. Maybe he changed, I don't know. I don't care; he was brilliant and IMO had the most beautiful singing voice of the 4 of them. But you get the feeling he treats everyone as an authority figure against whom he's rebelling - I mean in every single interview I've ever seen with him in any decade. Quite likely he never had a falling out with Ringo because he didn't see him as a competitor.
But who knows. We always talk about them as though they're characters in a movie, don't we?
In April 2018
Richard Starkey became
Sir Ringo Starr ✌❤
How awful. Such a low life.
@@jesuspobre88 what? How why???
Title of this video should be changed to...“Ringo Starr starts to tell Barbara Walters (not 1981) about the last time he saw John Lennon, but then the video gets cut off just as he starts to tell her the story.”
1:25 "We see eachother wherever we are." He was still talking about John in the present tense. It was still so recent that Ringo hadn't yet fully accepted that John was really gone. 😥💔
Ringo is clearly still in mourning for John. He was the only Beatle that saw and hung with everyone after the breakup. Although he can write and sing, he clearly wasn’t the driver of the Beatles songs, so he didn’t have the ego or musical clashes that the other three did. I’m bglad he’s still around and looking great.
They all saw each other at separate times throughout the 70s
George and Ringo played on John's albums in the early 70s
John and George both played on Ringo's song I'm the Greatest (John wrote it)
John and Paul reunited in LA in 1974 and Paul dropped by the Dakota numerous times as well
Paul, George, and Ringo attended Eric Clapton and Patti Boyd's wedding in 1979, and even had a little jam session at the reception. John was on vacation in Japan at the time
Breaks my heart to see how raw he was with grief.
Music Love Raw. That’s it exactly. I feel that Ringo put up a lot of personal barriers around himself in the years after John died.
he has the cutest smile.. seeing him sad here makes me sad .. i wanna hug him😔😭
He can't even look at the interviewer's eyes 😢
It's sad to still see all those haters comments. Couldn't you just have even a little respect?? This interview teared me up
I think the days of YT comments are numbered.
I like the way he points at the camera after saying “The music is always more important”, meaning people shouldn’t get so obsessed with the artists to the point of doing insane things to get their attention.
Anyone who says Ringo was a boring drummer needs to listen harder, most of the great drummers credit him with influence, the most important is timing, he was like a clock, and second he actually gave a shit about the songs and didnt need to do 300 drum fills for his ego!
Sad Ringo is just sad. 😞
Ringo out of the 4 of them got along with the other 3 no matter what was going on..he never really took sides..
There was a period around the breakup and a bit after where he and Paul did not get along. He had been designated to ask Paul to delay the release of his solo album so that it wouldn't compete with the Beatles' upcoming release. So, Paul screamed at him and threw him out of his house. There were sour feelings there for awhile but they reconciled fairly quickly and Paul even acknowledges today that he completely overreacted with Ringo.
Such a lovely man
God the pain in his eyes when he’s talking about John makes me so sad
This nearly made me cry and I watched him talking about George’s last words to him which made me cry :( I hate seeing ringo sad
Ringo, the oldest Beatle was like the oldest Brother, too. He was the only Beatle to fly to NYC and pay his respects in person shortly after John was murdered. Ringo has never missed a beat in his life. ✌& ❤ Mr. Starkey!
he was the glue that kept the beatles together for as long as the did
in the documentary you can see he was always there even in moments they didn't appreciate him as they should have
he was a real friend
Ringo was the heart and soul of The Beatles. Without him they wont last. His charisma stood out among the 3. Imagine if Pete Best was not replaced. The Beatles will not last
ringos eyes just ugh i want to give him a hug so bad
My mum loved Ringo out of all the Beatles in the 60’s. After this interview I can see why 💕
Why cut this off when he was about to recount something happy about John? What is this fascination with seeing people suffering? It's almost a sort of 'bereavement porn'.
Go to my channel to see the entire video. This clip was lifted off my channel....
this is so true
Now it’s only the other one. 😭😭 RIP George and John ❤️❤️
You really can see the pain behind his eyes, and see he's been crying, breaks your heart, I've allways had great respect for him, you can tell he's allways been down to earth, RIP John and George.
“Ringo tells about the last time he saw John Lennon” then proceeds to cut off when he was talking about the last time he saw John Lennon
He straight up asked to stop the interview at :58. Weird clip to show from the interview. Should be called Barbara Walters is a sociopath.”
This is even more devastating when you remember that John called Ringo his best friend in the Help movie.
They (other 3) 'headhunted' Ringo... he had a reputation as a gr8 drummer... amongst the musos in general... his lovely demeanour (good natured - no egostistical shenanigans whatsoever) just made him all the more likeable... his drumming was always SPOT ON!!! Nice man... always admired him & still do even more noting his sensitivity during this interview...
Just leave Ringo alone ! He's too sweet to be treated like this. Give him some respect.
Seeing Paul and George sad is one thing, but seeing good ole Ringo on this take really hurts a lot. So not used to seeing him like this, he's always like that untouchable happy little puppy. This hurts to see :(
One of the best drummers ever walked this earth ,.. (rip,John/George)..........
Aww Ringo.......he shouldn’t be sad........
“Can you stop that now?” 😓😭😭
I always love to think about Ringo and the fact he is so down to earth for all that's happened. Its still a kid from Liverpool
i’ve never seen ringo on the verge of tears before, he looks devastated:((
Ringo, you're a beautiful man, and you are deeply loved.
The world still mourns. I am grateful to be alive during those magic years.
Ringo made me cry twice...speaking about John’s death and George’s death...always my favorite Beatle is Ringo.
I still miss John and George, we could sure use them now.
John and Ringo always got along. There were times when John, George and Ringo were unhappy with Paul and times when John was unhappy with George and George was unhappy with John. And even Ringo's best friend in the group George even sued Ringo once because of his arrangement of a song he had written for him. But aside from Ringo being a bit annoyed and puzzled by John's activities with Yoko and her being at all the sessions and leaving the group for a few days during The White album sessions because he felt left out he and John never had a falling out as far as I know. Ringo drummed on the Plastic Ono Band album and Cold Turkey. John and the other two wrote songs for Ringo for his 1973 album. John's Nobody Told Me was actually a demo for Ringo that Ringo was going to do a version of an put on his 1981 album but after John's death he didn't want to use it and it was instead released as a posthumous John Lennon song. If John had stayed in the UK or Ringo moved to New York I think they would have collaborated even more. John and Ringo always liked each other.
By the way, Ringo's best drumming works in the Beatles' catalogue are mainly John's compositions: Rain, She Said, and A Day in the Life (mainly John).......
All of us Beatles and John Lennon fans were shocked and devastated by the news of John’s death but for those who actually knew him and loved him, it’s on a different level of grief. And for Yoko to have witnessed the whole thing. It’s just so heartbreaking and tragic.
We miss you, John.
Respects to Ringo I know it's late but I been a Beatles fan 55 years plus...an I now see time they were thank them all for sticking together for all those great songs....peace
Sad Ringo makes me sad😭
PEACE and LOVE. That really is all we need.
Think about your dead friend, now cry! CRY FOR ME! This is TV gold! MWAHAHAHAAAAAA! - Barbara Walters
Ringo “do you wanna stop that now” to the camera.
Barbara “noooo”
So gross
Ringo always seems to be so happy so this broke my heart
I would cry when I was exist in 1980 at John Lennons dead.
I would (future tense) cry when I was (past tense) exist (present tense) in 1980 at John Lennons dead. Don't tell me, you are an English major with an Obama phone and EBT card.
Thank you, Marty. I'm not very good in english. But my english is still good to cover english songs!
***** I like that expression - unearned sense of entitlement, not heard that before!
I remember my Dad coming to wake me up for work and saying that he'd been shot, couldn't believe it. Same with Freddie Mercury, I was staying with a french family when it happened and they kept saying SIDA which is french for AIDS, I didn't know what they meant...Got a book on John somewhere released to commemorate him after the event I think. Kenny Everett, that was another great loss....happy memories of watching with me Dad..:)
***** No, I'm entitled to nothing. My apologies to someone not from this country. There are however, too many people in this country who are too lazy to bother to proof read what they are about to post, and much comes out like frontier gibberish, when they know better. I'm for conveying a clear of a message/post as possible. No offense to someone who's first language is not English.
he's whelling up
awwww the one always left out..what a guy
I got to see him in concert back in 2019. It was a really fun time, he looked great.
I read somewhere that john said once that out of the other 3 beatles, ringo was the one that he was the most comfortable around alone.
One thing that I respect about this is the fact that he's 100% REAL about how he FEELS. I live my life in the same way. I am very open about my emotions. I grew up with domestic violence and saw my mum emotionally and psychologically abused by my dad on a daily basis.. She was so kind and loving.. She never hurt anybody... He just enjoyed abusing her - making her feel like a pathetic, worthless piece of trash... I lost her to cancer when I was 23.. She was 47 when she died. That was 14 years ago but it still hurts me and I often have to hold back from crying when I talk about the way he treated her... People always seem to walk around in rose tinted glasses, pretending that the world is all perfect and peachy. Life isn't like that. People suffer deeply and it should be addressed more. You have to be real. Life can be very sad and very dark. You're only hurting yourself by pretending that it isn't.
So strange that I have come across this comment. I am in the middle of deciding if I should end things with a guy that isn't very emotionally intelligent and he becomes really irritated and condescending when I express my emotions (we think he might be on the autism spectrum for multiple reasons). But I feel so repressed, I feel trapped in that I cant express myself fully around him. I don't think he's a bad guy, I think that he genuinely has issues processing and understanding emotions. But when I am experiencing his reactions it feels like abuse. So I feel like its time to leave
[Dark Autumn 3D] I agree wholeheartedly, and I'm sorry you and your family had to go through all that. My dad was affected by domestic violence as a young child. He once told me, "Your feelings don't matter!" but by then I knew they did. Eventually I had the opportunity to support his feelings and he went from raging a lot to crying when he needed to. It's okay to have a good cry over how your dad treated your mum. You won't get stuck in it, you may feel better after, and you aren't alone. Peace & love.
@@86sineadw I hope he gets help if he can accept it, and I hope you get to be with someone who loves all of you. Strange that I should see this while trying to figure out if a guy who minimized my grief and made me feel too much fear to speak freely around him but whom I liked and felt attracted to is somewhat autistic or narcissistic or what. There is so much of this! Be well ☮️&❤️
I haven't seen this in 40 years and I'll never forget Ringo asking to stop filming because he was getting emotional and Barbara saying no. I always thought I must I have heard it wrong, but turns out I was right.
The thing I always liked was how mindful John Lennon was to include Ringo, and make sure he wasn't 'overlooked.' I always found that touching, that's the one thing I always remember when I think about John, he was very generous of spirit.
Ringo seemed like he just enjoyed the ride. He doesn't seem like he took himself too seriously ever.
I remember this interview.
Always liked Ringo, what you saw was what you got, always honest and never full of himself, damn good drummer too .... never forget that. .. Sad ? Of course he's sad, wern't we all, but never like they were.
I remember watching this when I was a child. I was just 7 in 1981. Ringos reaction made me so sad, because you can see and feel his hurt. This hit him pretty hard. Because of the trauma of loosing his friend in such a violent way,he ended up having to go to rehab for alcoholism.
As he stated.."Mr.Conductor" was wasted most of the time. He owes his sobriety to his beautiful wife Barbra Bach who supported him, and is still with him to this day...
I grew up with them I can not tell you how exciting it was when you saw them listening to there music
I'm crying so bad right know😭
You either know or you don’t know about his drumming,, he really was naturally gifted,,,,completely his own style,,totally original 🙏
Ringo has a lot of heart & a truth teller
One of the worlds greatest musicians in my opinion
That was a sad sad day. I was a Beatlemaniac then and at 70 years old I'm still a Beatlemaniac ♥️
This man never ages
Not only did Chapman who was trying to bring attention to himself kill John Lennon but his actions shocked millions of fans who loved his music and in general his humanness. John wasn't perfect, he made lots of mistakes like most of us do but his amazing music will always shine on in our hearts. His death was even far more difficult for his band mates who spent countless hours writing music and playing songs with him going through a lot of ups and downs but they genuinely cared about each other. It had to be an unbelievably tight relationship to produce such a catalog of brilliant music in a 6 year period.
Please don't praise Chapman
'Tell us about a good time, when you saw him the last time?' brilliant Barbara...
Act naturally... Peace and love Ringo
