Ringo Starr - Stop And... Smell The Roses - Clip - 1981

[BURTTHETROUT09]

Ringo filmed the last 30 seconds of this video down my road and I'm somewhere on the left watching. Sadly I can't make out my face. Spring of 1981 so I was 13 at the time. Ringo later refused to sign my White Album as he sat in his vintage Merc outside my house, giving the excuse that he would then have to give everyone his autograph. Never saw the video at the time but was annoyed to see all the faces had been blanked out. Ringo, Next time you sit outside my house I'll tell you to **** off.

I was in this video in 1991 - my claim to fame.  It took all day to film and it was raining on and off all morning. We were so excited before and so disappointed afterwards.

Man I wish we had a video of the hangover.

Before Ringo had this mansion, it belonged to John Lennon. And before John, it belonged to someone else. And before that guy, it belonged to (etc, etc, etc.)

We put this on in my friend's car and we tell him that every time ringo shouts 'STOP!' he has to stop the car :)

...and we have to look for a man in a rolls

[MoveOverCasanova]

am i wrong, or is this song a quite nasty kick into lennon ass,

making fun about his naive peace messages?

"stop, and take the time to buy this records, that i can plant my roses" ,

did ringo write this himself?

sounds damn so!

[pazzensutra]

@MoveOverCasanova Aw come on man. Not everything the other Beatles did revolved around John. It's just a silly song.

[MoveOverCasanova]

@pazzensutra i don´t find it silly, i find it extremely funny and full of mean little hints,- sure not strictly about beatles,- i just thought so beacause of the scenes at tittenhurst, but i heard that he lived there after lennon moved to new york

[MoveOverCasanova]

pretty monty pythonesque! great "last song" for a record, brillant!!!

was that made before or after lennons death?

who owned tittenhurst estate after lennon left?

[mongrelhead1]

@MoveOverCasanova John sold Tittenhurst to Ringo. I think this album was after John's assasination. Maybe 1981 or so.

La 1ère des 2 chansons mauvaises de cet album...Le reste est bon et permet à Ringo de revenir du fond du trou dans lequel il était....
