SAN DIEGO — Talk about a fab time warp!
It was 50 years ago today — well, this year — that Ringo Starr recorded the John Lennon-penned song, "I'm The Greatest," for his 1973 album, "Ringo." It re-teamed the avuncular drummer and vocalist with Lennon and George Harrison, sparking rumors of a Beatles' reunion that never came to pass.
It was 50 years later — on Friday night — that Starr performed "I'm the Greatest," nine numbers into his 2023 tour-opening concert at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, an hour north of San Diego. And it was almost impossible not to smile when the legendary drummer sang the lines: "Now I'm only thirty-two / And all I wanna do is boogaloo!"
