Another version of a Beatles classic that never fails to be good no matter who sings it or what form or genre it takes. And this one? The message is made even more relevant for the times.
The Lennon Legacy

Now while I of course will always remember Nicky Byrne’s birthday first and foremost, and while I still much prefer Jim Morrison over-all in terms of music, poetry, and artistry, and while Ringo will always be my favorite Beatle, we cannot deny the greatness and legend of John Lennon.
In many ways, and just in my opinion, he was the primary force behind the Beatles (sorry, Paul). His work, both with the group and as a solo artist, revealed a true master of music and social commentary, one whose influence remains to this d ay. He was controversial, a divisive figure whose statements were rarely tame (yet always thought-provoking).
In the end, he rightfully became an icon.

You can have your John, Paul, or George…
… but Ringo is mine.
Happy 76th birthday, Richard Starkey!
You are a true living legend, Sir Ringo Starr, and may you have many more years to come.
