It's a sizable 'no' from me, and then I found out he'd died in a fall (not here, which is sad as he was only 26) How had he made it without O2?

Makes me feel queasy just looking at it

Came across this somewhere the other day. The top picture was taken by Ringo when the Beatles toured America in 1964. The bunch of clean cut, apple pie eating youth travelled to the airport in order to get a glimpse of their heroes. As it turned out, Ringo's car pulled along side & he & the youngsters had a chat through the windows. Before taking off, Ringo took this photo.

The picture below is the same group re-enacting the photo in 2013 - 49 years after the original.

This just popped up on my Facebook memories from a few years ago. I took it outside a night club near me that has since closed down. Very much mixed signals.
