Starry Knight

Some drum not hum-drum

Some bang their drum to mark the time
as though that’s the only thing
Some play the rhythms beautifully
and make the music swing
A few can add melodic touch
and they rise to the top
Like Elvin Jones of modern jazz
and Ringo Starr of pop

to hear what you have in common with Elvin get the CD of “Love &
Peace”

Sir Ringo Starr

Announces Details
for 10th Annual
 Peace & Love
Birthday Celebration

JORDAN RUNTAGH April 20, 2018 06:02 PM

Sir Ringo Starr has a birthday coming up, and
to celebrate he wants us all to spread a little
Peace and Love.
Everyone’s favorite knight of the realm will
observe turning 78 on July 7 by inviting the
world to come together in a moment of peace,
love and unity. Starr himself will be in Nice,
France at the Hard Rock Cafe — a fitting
location considering he started the tradition 10
years ago at the Chicago branch of the
franchise. But don’t worry if you can’t make the
trip. All he asks is for everyone — everywhere
— to think, say, or post “#PeaceandLove” at
noon their local time, thus creating a wave of
positivity that will travel across the globe.
The annual celebration began in 2008, when an
interviewer casually asked Starr what he
wanted for his birthday. The answer, of course,
was “Peace and Love.” Since then, the idea has
flourished into an international event, earning
sponsors including Hard Rock and The David
Lynch Foundation, an organization that
teaches meditation to at risk individuals.

“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate
my birthday, or a better gift I could ask for,
than Peace and Love,” he says in a statement.
“I was blown away last year with how far this
idea keeps spreading — we started in New
Zealand, had people sending Peace and Love
from Antarctica, Japan, Costa Rica, India,
Russia, Brazil, Europe, London, Liverpool and
Hawaii. It was so far out. So here we are 10
years later and it keeps growing.”
Kicking off the festive mood, Starr has
released a new music video for “Give More
Love,” the title track to his 2017 album.
“There are a lot of people hurting out there,
and if we give nothing else we have to give
love,” he told PEOPLE of the song’s message in
September. “I try and do that to the best of my
ability. We have to remember we are not saints
—sometimes there’s the other attitude, the
reactive. I try not to get too much of that. But
we’re doing the best we can.”
