The Beatles were primarily a rock and pop band, but they still showed appreciation for soul music. Ringo Starr revealed he was a big fan of an Al Green song because of its incredible drumming. That tune appeared on an album that had an unusual impact on the American pop chart. On the other hand, the album was completely ignored by the public in the United Kingdom.
Ringo Starr loved the hi-hat in an Al Green song
During a 2020 interview with Rolling Stone, a reporter asked Ringo if “What’d I Say” by Ray Charles was an influence on his drumming style. “No, I know the song really well,” he said. “I listened to the records, but I wasn’t, like, big on listening to the drums.” Ringo’s comments are surprising since Paul McCartney praised him for being able to recreate the feel of “What’d I Say.”

Ringo Starr is about to get into a bathtub with Dave Grohl, and he seems a little skeptical. “Is this some sort of bullshit?” the former Beatle says. But he steps in anyway. Soon the pair are chatting comfortably; as Grohl discusses the Foo Fighters’ recent tour, Starr hands him a rubber ducky, and instructs him to make a heart symbol with his hands to complement his own omnipresent peace sign.
Grohl and Starr have known each other since 2013, when Grohl spoke at a release party for Starr’s first photography book.

Details, details, details…the crime thriller L.A. Noire for the XBox 360, set in post-World War II 1947 Los Angeles, is a game that glories in and is made glorious by the rich accuracy of details that its publisher Rock Star Games and developer Team Bondi bring to it. If you have no idea at all what this game is about, have not already heard and/or read about the way real actors were used and filmed to capture every little nuance and expression on their faces using MotionScan tech to map facial movements, it is probably hard to imagine the depths of realism and immersiveness this game has for which it has already become famous. It’s a Must Have sort of game, as is a game like Portal 2 (but for different reasons).
