Ringo Starr/Dave Stewart's 'Off The Record' is Right On

One of the lines from the Beatles' 'A Day In The Life' goes, "I just had to look,having read the book'; it seems that those of us who grew up in the wake of Beatle mass-hysteria spent much of our time playing catch-up- like for tomorrow's test- in late-night cram sessions.

So last night I stayed up to watch the HBO special 'Off The Record'. I'm glad I did.

It's fun to see these veteran rockers chat about good times. Ringo is endearing, has probably grown the most musically since the Beatles, plus he is (and seemingly always has been) down-to-earth.

Dave Stewart is, well, Dave Stewart. In the context of his work in Eurythmics he is a legend. To see him in this role as a rock 'n' roll interviewer/documentarian is very cool, indeed. Watch it yourself; tell me what you think. All I know is, I won't be tired of cramming for this kind of test for a long time.
