Ringo Starr on the Merv Griffin Show March 1981 Part Two

[naefmom89]

Ringo was right to be short with Merv, they were there to promote the movie "Caveman" not the Beatles revisited. Be in the here and now, yesterday was great but it is gone and you can't go back.

Ringo and Barbara are a great couple, they have remained strong and devoted to eachother for around 30 years, through so many trails and difficulties. Love them both!

I suppose, and besides, Merv is such a noisy jerk! And I don't Blane ringo for his attitude then, he did lose his best friend. And I'm tired of those people that are like "Ringo is an ass" or the typical " Ringo is the least beatle" so not true! Ringo gave the beatles the best beat and he was one of the best drummers of his time and I still consider him to be the best now! His style is like no other!

I know Ringo was boozing heavily back then, but he should have expect the Beatle questions... just provide the standard answer and get it over with. IMO, Merv was horrible with his guests. He was instrusive and nosey. When the guest doesn't want to talk about an issue, you don't keep pushing, you simply move on.

Heavily drunk here! still in grief

[DMarriott81]

You can tell Ringo is pissed and had a few lines of coke...but his wife?? gorgeous!! looks sober, guess it proves if your a guy and have money and fame you can get any girl you want...im a big Ringo fan by the way i just find all this kinda funny and true to life

[MOVIMKR7]

you cant blame ringo about being tired of talking about the beatles, he does have a life and a incredibly hot wife..

[TheHammyman59]

i think ringo..as the LEAST beatle so to speak is the most arrogant..he is definately drunk in this interview as was his way then but he takes much more credit then he deserves

[smasherhits]

@TheHammyman59 Oh ya?..If one of your best mates had been blown away by a nut 4 months earlier you'd be drinking like a fish too.

[TheHammyman59]

@smasherhits ringo was a drunk for years..he blacked out and beat the ever lovin shit out of his wife barbara..when he saw her black eyes and battered face he gave up drinking. for good....she stuck by him knowing his problem and supported him through A.A. ...he found god through A.A. and is now a devout christian hence his never stopping "peace and love"chant..i go to liverpool at least once a year.i know pete bests brother rory and wow he has some ringo drunk stories lol

[Burco1]

This was only a few months after John's murder. Ringo seems low key for sure.

[Lightner445555555555]

You can tell from all his early 81 interviews that he's still greiving over the lose of John Lennon :(

[moonlily1]

aww, Barbara loves her man! a lot!

[llamawalrus]

I think he's right about the questions about The Beatles, he was promoting his film at that particular moment, right? If you want to know about The Beatles there are loads of books, documentaries... I specially recomend The Anthology.

Anyway, Caveman is very funny, you should see it.

[romans52345]

@llamawalrus The Anthology was not out then

[rabbithog]

[Zebonka]

He was a drinker back then; that can make ANYONE be an ass
