Ringo Starr Talks About The Importance Of Spreading 'Peace And Love'
Ringo Starr, the legendary drummer for the iconic band The Beatles,” has always had “peace and love” as his mantra. In a new interview, the 81 year-old spoke out to say that spreading this message is more important now than it ever has been before.
“Well it’s always been important – and I do spread the message,” Starr told Fox News. “I mean, you look at the photos in the ‘60s, we’re all doing this. We loved ’66 when flower power was coming in. It was such a change in those years – people with flowers and loving each other.”
There were a few bad moments, like Kent State and things like that, but we just went right for it,” Starr added, referring to the 1970 tragedy in which the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed college students at a war protest at Kent State University, killing four students and injuring nine others.
“It was part of how we felt,” Starr said of sharing the message then and now. “And I keep doing it now. I do it, I can only have myself do it. I can’t force anybody to be peaceful and loving.”
