I love this answer from a recent interview with Ringo, coming up to his 70th birthday, the 7th of July (Ringo having been born 3 months before John Lennon, in 1940).
Q: Do you get much chance to listen to all the Beatles covers that continue be produced?
A: You have to talk to Sony about that. They have the publishing and they’ll give it to anyone.
For an incredible read, into the inner workings of the Beatles, and the publishing empire they lost, more than once, I highly recommend the book ‘Northern Songs – The True Story of the Beatles’ Song Publishing Empire, by Brian Southall with Rupert Perry (Omibus Press).

A youngin’ here, but I always remember to pay respect to dear ol’Ringo on his birthday! Quite definitely the perfect drummer to the most perfect of bands to ever grace the airwaves.

In the words of The Who – “long live rock, be it dead or alive”. Good for Ringo. I am sure he is glad he passed the audition.
