25 Days of the Unpopular: Ringo Starr

Like Zayn from One Direction, Ringo was the member of the Beatles who was and is often overlooked. He wasn't as big of a heartthrob as Paul or John were, and people think it was because he was the drummer of the band. That might've been true, but upon further research, I learned that Ringo replaced the Beatles' original drummer and his addition wasn't accepted by the masses at first. He's one of the two Beatles' still standing alongside Paul McCartney, who is not Jesse McCartney's father. What I find so interesting about Ringo is that he always seemed to be on the back burner with whatever he did. He was obviously a really talented musician, but he rarely had lead vocals. He was in another band before he joined the Beatles and John Lennon actually asked him to quit his band and drum for him, Paul, and George. And I guess it worked out for him!

Apparently he wasn't as popular in the UK as he was in America. All the girls here loved him here! Personally, I think he was v cute. And now he's a cute old man!


I don't really know what else to say about him except that when he was young he looked like my friend Matthew.
