V FOR VICTORY


Big news on the Music front this week. Mop Top legends and last remaining Beatles, Sir Paul of McCartney and Richard Starkey A.K.A Ringo Starr, are to re-unite for Ringo's new Album "Y Not", which Ringo explained is a tribute to ex BBC Film Reviewer Barry Norman. The Album is apparently Ringo's 15th studio effort, though to be honest I am struggling to recall any of his previous 14. 
The recording sessions are said to have gone extremely well even though the pair have had a long running dispute as to who delivers the best "V For Victory" hand signal.
Ringo went on to tell how the pair got together to record again.........
"Paul was doing the Grammys, so he came over to the house and was playing bass on [new song] Peace Dream," Starr explained. "I played him this other track and Paul said, 'Give me the headphones. Give me a pair of cans'. And he went to the mic and he just invented that part where he follows on my vocal. That was all Paul McCartney, and there could be nothing better."
McCartney who never dies his hair, is over the moon about the reunion, saying, "you know,it's great to be back recording with Ringo, you know, we've been mates since we were kids in Liverpool, you know, it's just great".
