Ringo has a new song (and apparently a new hairstyle):

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
It's funny because Ringo the man makes no sense as a solo artist but Ringo the 1973 album is a top 10, if not top 5, solo Beatles album.

I might agree, but in so doing that really condemns so many solo Beatle records. And, well, maybe yeah.

My wife hates it when I say stuff like I was better off or would be better off not knowing who ______ is or that they exist. The most recent example was that POS Elon Musk.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
Being omnivorous with regards to information is a false god. Having wider knowledge can help us draw connections between diverse subjects, which is undeniably valuable, but I think they risk us being more distracted in our thinking and more prone to trivia than deep thought. Few people can pull it off.
