It seems like you know what’s truly important to you. Somebody told me, which was great: “It’s great to have plans, but when they change, don’t get upset.” But what about me, I’m going to miss the flight! Okay, so get the next one! All of your cryin’ and moanin’ is not gonna stop the plane from taking off. Sometimes something happens and your plan gets changed. And if I’m on a bummer, I’ll say, “This too shall pass.” I try to be honest through the day. I live a life now that if I’m in a great space and having a good day, I think that it will go on forever. But I also feel that every day is a good day, but I can drag it down. In a recent interview you said, “This is why I love life, things just arrive.” Do you feel like things are predestined? In a way, yes. And I believe the kids are into cassettes. We went from vinyl to CDs, and now it’s vinyls and CDs that are being sold. GQ: How does it feel putting out your 20th album? Ringo Starr: It’s far out, isn’t it? It’s my 20th album. Starr spoke to GQ about reuniting with Macca, recording a long-lost song written in mind for him by John Lennon, and an incessant attitude that preaches peace and love. His 20th, it features originals like its autobiographical call-and-response title track, inspired covers, and even a collaboration with Paul McCartney. And, he’s also set to add another chapter to his indelible musical legacy with the new album What’s My Name. This month, the lad from Liverpool is also releasing a book of photography, Another Day in the Life, which features an eclectic array of shots mostly taken on his iPhone. For one, he’s on an essentially non-stop tour with his famous friends (aptly dubbed his All Starr Band) which recently wrapped up a globe-trotting string of dates. From changing the course of popular music with a little help from his fellow Beatles to a well-received, decades-long solo career, Ringo Starr is inarguably one of the most famous drummers in history-not that he’s resting on his laurels.
