Very true but you should have seen Ringo peel a banana. A veritable virtuoso he was.
I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop;
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.

Are they wild?

This irks me as it isn't true.
Anyone who has watched 'Get Back' can see that.
LENNON: “Ringo was a star in his own right in Liverpool before we even met. He was a professional drummer who sang and performed and had Ringo Starr-time, and he was in one of the top groups in Britain but especially in Liverpool before we even had a drummer. So Ringo’s talent would have come out one way or the other as something or other. I don’t know what he would have ended up as, but whatever that spark is in Ringo that we all know but can’t put our finger on … whether it is acting, drumming or singing, I don’t know … there is something in him that is projectable and he would have surfaced with or without the Beatles. Ringo is a damn good drummer."
It was, apparently a joke: https://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/beatle ... t-drummer/

No, I think they're livid!
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.
