The Resume

    (November 24, 1941- )
    Drummer for the The Beatles
    Replaced Tommy Moore of the then 'Quarrymen' (1960)
    Replaced by Ringo Starr

Why he might be annoying:

    He was fired from The Beatles as they were on the verge of superstardom.
    His departure made fans angry and one scuffle left George Harrison with a black eye.
    He sued the makers of Trivial Pursuit when the game incorrectly stated that he was dead.
    Rolling Stone incorrectly states he was born in England (he was born in India).
    In an effort to cash in, he put out an album designed to confuse fans entitled 'Best of the Beatles.'
    He and McCartney were deported from Hamburg German on charges of arson after burning a condom.
    He sued Ringo Starr who said that Pete took pills to make him sick so he wouldn't have to play (in fact he only missed four appearances, and they settled out of court).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a Beatle (August 1960-April 16, 1962).
    He drummed on The Beatles' four Hamburg appearances and the Decca sessions.
    Prior to being fired, he was the most popular Beatle among the local Liverpool crowd.
    The Beatles proclaimed him their undisputed sex symbol.
    He had some success with Lee Curtis and the All Stars.
    He was a good sport and capitalized on missing out on The Beatles fame by appearing on US TV Game Show 'I've Got a Secret' (March 26, 1964).
    To this day he has no clue why he was fired, and is able to adequately dispose of all theories.
