@Sooner 

 

I will go along with my Beetle Historian's(which is my wife) thoughts on your comment. Not sure what your definition of "sense" might be, so! 

 

Will go with financial successes. I see a Sir Paul, and I see a Dr. Starr. I see where Sir Paul has accumulated over 3 times the monetary assets as Dr. Starr, so! 

 

Will disagree with your assessment of "sense". I will also give a congratulations to Dr. Ringo Starr.

Berklee College of Music, not School.

 

Merged with the Boston Conservatory.

 

The merger is referred to as Berklee and the Conservatory is now the Boston Conservatory at Berklee.

@hckynutjohn My definition of "sense" in this case would be a more-normal type, not out so much to hog the spotlight, had a relatively quiet life, seemed a rather happy and satisfied bloke.  

 

Ringo came to them after another drummer or two, can't remember the exact count, stayed and drummed for the job, didn't try to break up the band or get so involved in squabbles- - did his job, collected his check and was happy to work.  I gravitate toward that sort of attitude.  To me that is success.

I will let my Beatles Historian work this out with you, if she ever signs on here again. I have no skin in the game, so to speak. I am the same as you, $$$ do not equal success to me.

 

I however never delved into who was fighting with who in the group. The only thing I remember is Yoko was not especially a favorite. Why? I have no idea and never cared to look into it.

 

I was more into the Rock and Roll groups in our country than any of these groups from across the pond.  Peace out!

I also think that Ringo aged really well, compared to the other three.  My best friend was in love with Ringo, but I thought that he was so homely looking.  Angelic looking Paul was my favorite Beatle.  But looking at them now, I'd have to pick Ringo for sure.
