Ringo Starr Is Spreading a Little Peace and Love for His Birthday—and You're Invited
Everyone’s favorite knight of the realm will observe turning 79 on July 7 by inviting the world to come together in a moment of peace, love and unity. Starr himself will be in front of the famous Capitol Records Tower in Los Angeles, but don’t feel like you have to make the trip. All he asks is for everyone — everywhere — to think, say, or post “#PeaceandLove” at noon their local time, thus creating a wave of positivity that will travel across the globe.
The annual celebration began in 2008, when an interviewer casually asked Starr what he wanted for his birthday. The answer, of course, was “Peace and Love.” Since then, the idea has flourished into an international event, earning sponsors including Starbucks, Life Is Good, SiriusXM and The David Lynch Foundation, an organization that teaches meditation to at-risk individuals.
