Ringo Starr

For someone who seems to end every sentence with the mantra ‘Peace and Love’, the balance of opinion here suggests the message isn’t getting through.
 
For services to being a fat red twat
In defence of the fat, red, twat, he is a particularly fat, red, twat. He doesn't try to lose weight he just remains fat. He doesn't try to understand football so he remains a rag and when it come to being a twat, well he puts his entire being into outstanding twattishness.
The fat, red, twat, to end all fat, red, twats. If there is an honour for being a fat, red, twat then this particular fat, red twat deserves it.
The fat, red, twat.
 
No objection to pop stars who get knighthoods, but they are chosen to curry favour with the electorate. If merit alone was the criterion, the list would be quite different. Consider, for example, John Mayall. He mentored a whole host of blues-rock musicians such as Clapton, Peter Green, Adrian Dunbar, Jimmy Page, etc etc. The bluesbreakers have been going since the year dot. Mayall is a hero in the US, where he made numerous albums for Chess records. But of course, he was not big in the imagination of the masses, so just got a measly MBE. Brought up a stones throw from Maine Road, btw.
Im a fan of John Mayall and I think he shouldve got a knighthood for his album 'Bare Wires' !
However he's not a household name, most people have never heard of him, I guess they have to set the bar somewhere. And Ive never heard of John Mayalls charity works whereas Ringo is very much into it.
 
RIP Ringo. Shit drummer, wrote crap songs, but will forever be fondly remembered as the voice of Thomas the tank engine.
