Musician

The Resume

    (August 3, 1939- )
    Born in London, United Kingdom
    Drummer
    Known for playing with the Beatles for six concerts when Ringo Starr was hospitalized with tonsilitis (June 4-13, 1964)

Why he might be annoying:

    Brian Epstein reportedly complained he was difficult to work with, which made it difficult for him to get jobs later.
    A year after playing with the Beatles, he filed for bankruptcy.
    He cut off contact with his children.
    He became so reclusive, he was mistakenly reported as dead (1988).

Why he might not be annoying:

    When Ringo returned, he was presented with a gold watch inscribed 'From the Beatles and Brian Epstein to Jimmy - with appreciation and gratitude.'
    George Harrison called him 'a lovely guy.'
    A comment he made later inspired Paul McCartney to write the song 'Getting Better.'
    His son Howie won an award for sound engineering for his work on a BBC collection of Beatles recordings.
