Whew, I'm not totally insane. Thanks, pigglet.

I'm not saying that Ringo had no talent. Just that he wasn't....oh, I don't know. I don't want to speak bad of him. I love him just the way he is...whatever that is.

And I also wanted to mention George Martin in the post above and forgot. I certainly do not discount the influence he had on the band and on their music, especially after their decision not to tour anymore and become more experimental in the studio. He truly was the fifth Beatle in some ways...no offense to Billy Preston.
