Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 7, Ringo Starr turns seventy, 7-0, and he is still rocking. No rocking chair for this rocker. How does he plan to celebrate? The only way a rock 'n' roll star can celebrate the big 7-0, by a performance with his band. Ringo will celebrate with his band, the All Starr Band, on his birthday, at Radio City Music hall!

. “As far as I’m concerned, in my head, I’m 24,” Ringo Starr told The New York Times. “That’s just how it is. The number, yeah, it’s high. But I just felt I’ve got to celebrate it. I’m on my feet and I’m doing what I love to do, and I’m in a profession, as a musician, where we can go on for as long as we can go on. I’m not hiding from it, you know.. Butt when I was 22, actually, I remember this so well, and I was playing, and there was another band, and these people in that other band were 40, and I was saying, “My God, you’re still doing it?” [laughs] Which doesn’t look funny in black and white, but it was incredible, and now I’m waaaaay past 40. My new hero is B. B. King. I have a great line: B. B. is still playing, even though he is sitting down now. But hey, I’m sitting down already. You’ve just got to get on with it. I’d like to be out there pretending I’m only 55, but I’m not."

When you're rocker Ringo Starr or bluesman B.B. King, you can play on pass when you're a hundred. A thousand!

Ringo Starr, a happy 7-0, and many more.
