Move over, Ms L!
Hi all,
wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location.
Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site.
So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Ringo in Norway
Ringo Starr in Norway, 1971.
Ringo visited Norway back in 1971, to shoot some snow-filled footage for a TV show together with Cilla Black. When he was here, he was asked to participate in an insert for the 1971 Norwegian Telethon, an annual TV-based fundraising event. Money from the 1971 event was to go to refugees. Ringo was supposed to say that year's slogan: "Think... and give!" This was when Ringo was still drinking quite a lot, so much to the despair of the TV people, he slightly changed his line to "Drink! ...and give!".
Drink - and give!
Newspaper clipping.
While in Norway, Ringo also filmed a different promo for his song "It Don't Come Easy":

Eventually, Ringo returned to perform a concert in Norway, but not until 40 years later, in 2011.
