It would be something, especially since Ringo had such a difficult childhood health-wise.

It's truly a funny world. They're all gone, yet the guy who they took their name from is selling out (and playing almost three hours in) sports arenas right now.

Captain America: Winter Soldier for me.

Nip it, rolando. Nip it in the bud!
