Ringo Starr is going out on tour again.<\/p>\n
No surprise there. Ringo tours every other summer or so, and this summer he has a new album to promote, Ringo 2012<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Well, Ringo’s 2012 tour<\/a> brings him to Baltimore on my birthday.<\/p>\n I’ve seen Paul McCartney in concert, back in 2002. George Harrison last toured in North America when I was one-year-old, so I clearly didn’t see Harrison in concert. John Lennon did a few one-off concerts, but they were all before I was two, so, again, I didn’t see Lennon in concert.<\/p>\n I’ve not seen Ringo in concert.<\/p>\n So… I’m tempted<\/i>.<\/p>\n Am I expecting brilliance? Hardly. Am I expecting something as awesome as three hours of Paul McCartney? Not even close.<\/p>\n But it would<\/i> be cool, and Ringo’s amiable, and I’ve liked Ringo’s recent albums more than I’ve liked Paul’s recent albums (though I love Paul’s new Kisses on the Bottom<\/i><\/a> and I’ve not heard Ringo 2012<\/i> yet), so I ponder it.<\/p>\n It will really depend on ticket prices, I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ringo Starr is going out on tour again.
