WOW! By far my favorite Ringo song. :)

Is that Dave Stewart playing/singing with him? I don't know who the others are in the performance...but I enjoyed it tremendously and loved the nostagia as well as the song. And, it's pretty dam (sp) cool that "Rickenbacker" can so prominently be seen in the video.
Because I told you before- oh, you can't do that.

Yeah, that's Dave Stewart who also co-wrote the song. I think the song is not bad. The nice thing about it is that he's made some kind of gesture to balance sone of the not-so-nice things he's said about his hometown in the past.

The song truly is horrendous. Disturbingly bad and poorly written. (Then again.....name any great Ringo solo song! :lol: )

The ideas are cool though, I can see where Ringo is coming from---trying to make amends with his view of the city etc.

I like "Photograph" and "I'm the Greatest", but then again, they were written by George Harrison and John Lennon, two amazing songwriters.

With dial-up, I can't watch this video, but in two weeks, I'll be at a hotel with high-speed wireless, so I'll get to watch it then.

Ringo's singing is actually getting better.............well at least now he has a reason for having a wobble in his voice. He's how old? :lol: Born in 1940.......that makes the old bloke 69. Hey that's pretty good singing really.

This song is definitely one of those instances where you have to sit back and really assess why you're listening to it.

Would most people truly listen to this if the man wasn't an ex-Beatle? Probably not. :lol:

The Rick is cool and sounds good. Is there a J-box on it, I wonder? The song is lame, kinda like Free As A Bird.

I love Ringo, love his dry sense of humour, but that was awful. Sounded like the vocal melody was written by a Four year old.

Good luck to him though....
