Paul McCartney
Sir Paul McCartney is cheating on the Mets. The Beatle usually plays Shea Stadium (or whatever it’s called these days) when he comes to New York, but money talks and he’ll be playing Yankee Stadium on July 15, 2011. Presale is happening on June 10th at 10am through Live Nation. The password is “voice.” The public on sale is Monday, June 13, 2011 at 11 am (EST).
Let it be!

Ringo Starr's Gold Drum
New York Beatles fans will want to head over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art before June 30, 2011 to see a very rare artifact from the Fab Four. Taken from Ringo Starr’s personal collection, the Met is displaying a gold drum that was presented to Ringo by the Ludwig Drum Company in 1964. When The Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, Ringo was such a fan of Ludwig Drums, he insisted that the brand name be shown on camera. Sales of Ludwig drums went through the roof after the Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and as a thank you, the Ludwig Drum Company made and presented Ringo Starr with a drum made out of gold.

The drum is on display at The Met (located at 1000 5th Avenue in New York) through June 30, 2011. The golden drum is located in the Andre Mertens Galleries for Musical Instruments.

I just wanted to spread this tidbit for those that don’t pay attention to the media. One time I worked for an evil corporation that had meetings about what was going to be plastered all over the news in the coming week. True story.
Happy 70th Birthday, Ringo Starr!

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr!
On this day, July 7 in 1940, Richard Starkey, better known to the world as Ringo Starr, was born. Today Ringo turns 70 years old! We wish him a happy birthday and it will be spent playing a sold out show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Speaking of Radio City Music Hall, the above picture was taken by me a couple of years ago at that very venue, when I had the great fortune to see Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr play on the same stage at the same time! It was mind blowing and it is a night I’ll never forget. Happy Birthday Ringo and thanks for giving us so much great music!
