Ringo is one of the world's true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music.
Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.
The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn't about the blues, it's about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.
