What do people make of this? I heard it on the radio without knowing it was Ringo's new song and I quite liked it. Then I found out it was Ringo and wasn't sure if I did or not.

Never heard it until just now, I like it. Looks like it was just released as part of his "Zoom In" EP.

It's really growing on me but I was disappointed when I realised it wasn't a new band. Can't believe I never recognised Ringo's voice. A similar thing happened to me a while back when I heard Macca's new song on the radio. A really cool song as well...

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I don't listen to a lot of radio, except when riding with the Mrs. in her car. Radio in the States really sucks, probably why I've never heard either of these before.

They don't get played a lot in the UK either. I heard both by chance on an obscure hospital radio station that we pick up in our van. In both cases I really liked the songs but then you find out it's by a Beatle and it has a lot to live up to. Both really cool songs though, especially for guys who are around 80 years old.

It's very Ringo. But hey really what's not to like here. It's catchy and fun and a positive vibe. I dig it.

Yep, I love the affirmative message and that little nod to All You Need Is Love in the title.

It seems from the way the article is written that this assertion is based entirely on a flippant remark from John. I wouldn't trust anything he said offhand.

Undoubtedly. Pretty much anything the Beatles said to the press in those early days was some kind of sly or redirected humour. The article treats it all as straight up, tho.

Paul puts out a video with a deepfake Paul. That stuff is still plenty unnerving to me.

I thought that deepfake Paul was dead. I was certain he go killed by a hit and run driver on the Abbey road.

Ha! God, Paul could have so much fun with all that using this technology.
