Ringo Starr: Bob Dylan Turned The Beatles On To Pot | CONAN on TBS 

badass if true haha, wish I was there

I've always seen Ringo as the more conservative of the group.

Freeway i always thought that to be Paul, well at least when it came to drugs. Ringo was surprisingly open to a lot of those things though because he’s so layed back and goes with the flow

That explains why he doesn't age

That's why drummers always die first in a band.

Cassie Rosa "I'm a lovable guy" 3honest5me

Giacomo Delfin Me too )-‘:

yeah but behind closed doors he prays to the Devil... YEAH SO HONEST AND HUMBLE, such a lovable Satanist scumbag isnt he?...

And I do. Ringo is great. He and John were always my favorite Beatles. Still are. 😎

Shyguy33Games can you not say the same?

I just came back to my hometown of Boston from New York, and mom tells me that the Law has lessened its harsh attitude towards the use of weed. Amazing what time can do

AJ Lanterman what on earth does that have to do with Ringo?

Some Eggs Well I mean the subject they are talking about is weed in the video.

...said Thomas

@Daldiot - Truth. xD

The Conductor.

And he sang yellow submarine

He also narrated The Point, Harry Nilsson's brilliant full-length animated feature. If you haven't seen it, you should.

us kids are still too young to remember that tho :/

It goes farther back than that. Yellow submarine

Rick Sanchez he looks 35 to me

18 at best!

16

12

The glint in the milkman's eye

+A Pullara He slowly evolved to my favorite.

He does look great!

Tango Bango I liked John for the music the most, but Paul for his personality

They had the same to boast about, some were (are) just more in awe of themselves and up their own arses more than Ringo (or George) ever was.

has to do with his childhood. Been tough.

Fact

Paul must have been picking up off someone else then

there is much better pot nowadays , the average Calif . pot nowadays is probably better then the best of what we smoked in the 60s

Yeah, he looks younger than he is

RiFF ringo is older than Paul and ringo looks so god damn younger than paul

I feel the same about like, David Gilmour and Angus Young and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Bob Dylan. I mean the list goes on and on. Living in the same time as these musicians that have changed music forever, it's a crazy feeling

Roger?

Start with Revolver! And yeah David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Nick Mason are still alive (feel they should all be named in that list)

Nah that LP is their most overrated by far (their worst is Let It Be) as they were already waiting to leave the band and their energy was of nostalgia, well produced but lacking the energy they had once had. I say start with Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper and the White Album. Other great ones are With the Beatles, Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour and A Hard Days Night. Still even their weak one's are better than most bands best!

I’m waiting for a person to comment about “faul” and the conspiracy theories about Paul 😂😂😂

I know it's crazy!

Random Stuff my dad is 56 and he looks older than ringo!

HℹFiVE™ Animation my dads 60 and looks older and I'm just 13

Because drugs are good

Could be the beatles thing

@@ripdopadipidydo36 LOL 🤣🤣🤣

looks like he's in his late 50s

No kidding. Ringo is really with it. He's the oldest Beatle!

Looks like he's about 40.

wtfduud So true

....and the most articulate. Funny how things pan out.

Its also really shame that so many people keeps him so underrated. Hes as awesome as a man can be.

George Harisson is The Beatles for him. Ringo is icing on cake!

I love The Beatles but Ringo was also an alcoholic that beat his wife often. He has spoken publicly about it.

+Robert J. Williamson no way bullshit

He's admitted in interviews. He described himself as an alcoholic, absent father and wife beater. He entered rehab after badly beating his second wife Barbara Bach while in a drunken blackout. So this is over many years. He's a much more complex character than the loveable Ringo we all know. Google it, it's not hard to confirm as he's admitted it himself a few times.

***** He actually used to be a pretty severe alcoholic. He's clean now and vegan though which I'm sure makes a huge difference.

laser325 yeah....we already know that:)

***** dyes his hair though!

***** Because the Beatles don't either! ;D Heh. silly.

I know a 21 year old who look older than him

bwc3821 Pot Dylan.

oh goddddd

He's my tambourine man

Ooooooooø

pet lover mine too but he doesn't deal me drugs he deals me life .

It's because Conan is about the only one left, who can conduct a decent interview. The others just yak away and yes, interrupt the guest.

MrLuxInATux r

Yer blues John, yer blues.

@@nova69chev Rock and Roll Circus. Great film.

Meet the Feebles and Yoyo Nono

@MrLuxInATux - I'm with you. xD

He's 74!!!

Mooseman Damm. Good for him

It's hard to believe McCartney is the same age as him. I know people in their 50s that look older than him

bartalor Yes he is. Paul is 2 years younger.

Well why wouldn't he still have his accent ? He was raised up in Liverpool. What accent should he have ? The fake California " we don't have an accent " accent ? Everybody has an accent in every language across the globe . Why would Ringo change his ? To be Hollywood " Bob Barker " game show host ? Please enlighten everybody of what is the " perfect " way to pronounce a word ?

Eduardo Sanchez “I went first.” Said James.

Funnily enough, he did the Thomas thing because he was already so good with kids. The Beatles knew that Yellow Submarine was going to appeal to kids as well so they had Ringo sing it. He's always been so paternal. In fact there's this amazing clip of a little girl that chats with Ringo on a train during their first trip to America. And Ringo doesn't make a fuss about it or anything, just immediately begins to entertain the little girl.

Kommandant_PretzelsV2 Once, an engine attached to a train Was afraid of a few drops of rain. It rushed into a tunnel and squeaked through its funnel And wouldn’t come out again. The engine’s name is Henry. His driver and fireman argued with him, but he wouldn’t budge. “The rain will spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes!” He said. The conductor blew his whistle till he had no more breath and waved his flag till his arm was sore. But Henry stayed in the tunnel and blew smoke at him. “I’m not going to spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes in front of you!” Then along came Sir Topham Hatt, the man in charge of all the engines on the Island of Sodor. “We will pull you out.” He said. Everyone pulled except him. “My doctor has forbidden me to pull.” Then they tried pushing from the other end of the tunnel. But it didn’t work. “My doctor has also forbidden me to push.” At last, Thomas came along. The conductor waved his flag to stop him. Everyone argued with Henry. “Look, it stopped raining.” They said. “Yes, but it will begin again soon.” Said Henry. “Then what will become of my green paint and red stripes then?” Thomas pushed and puffed and puffed and pushed as hard as ever he could. But still, Henry stayed in the tunnel. Eventually, even Sir Topham Hatt gave up. “We shall take away your rails,” He said. “And leave you here until you’re ready to come out of the tunnel.” They took up the old rails and built a wall in front of Henry so that the other engines wouldn’t bump into him. All Henry could do was to watch the trains going through the other tunnel. He was very sad because he thought no one would ever see his lovely green paint and red stripes again. As time went on, Edward and Gordon would often pass by. Edward would say, “Peep, peep, peep! Hello!” And Gordon would say, “Poop, poop, poop! Serves you right!” Poor Henry had no steam to answer. His fire had gone out. Soot and dirt from the tunnel had spoiled his lovely green paint and red stripes anyway. How long do you think Henry will stay in the tunnel before he overcomes his fear of the rain and decides to journey out again?

Pot Dylan.

@@andrea8m Pot Dealer

same

+stegsify why's that?

+That One Memer Guy he was a narrator or something on it

+True thats where i first heard his voice, when i was 3 or 4 watching thomas. when i got in to the beatles, i knew he sounded familiar

"We got high, and we laughed our asses off." said the fat controller.

have you got proof

Smurf Modz Proof of what?

Stfu Loser

Well he didn’t write Yellow Submarine, he just sung it. And Octopus’s Garden was probably a psychedelic trip and was written when the Beatles all went to India to practice meditation

I like Don't Pass Me By, too.

For whatever reason, Ringo always tells this story wrong. What actually happened was famed American journalist Al Aronowitz arranged that evening for The Beatles to meet Bob Dylan...and to be introduced to pot. Ringo reluctantly was the first to try it ONLY because within the "pecking order" of that band it was decreed by John Lennon that Ringo would always be the first one to try something new...as the others watched. If Ringo seemed to enjoy it, only then would the other Beatles follow suit.

***** lol.. i think ringo knows his own story

Devan Rector To be honest, I don't quite believe Ringo knows his own stories.

***** Nice story, but Ringo was actually there when it happened so I believe him

doctor robert on revolver is about bob dylan

+Mark Perrie Still my favorite member of The Doors.

Still my favorite member of Nirvana next to Robert Plant

Still my favorite member of the Monkees next to Sammy Davis, Jr.! 😂😂😂

Still my favorite member of pantera besides jack white

Yeah he was awesome in megadeth!

hes 74

Where Am I pun was intended

When I get old and losing my hair, many years from now... I got it bro

u will be fed when you're 64

+Ivan I by you

adam smith They didn't really wait for him. They got a replacement drummer because they couldn't stop touring. Ringo was essential, though.

Matches_Malone He’s not talking about when they were still touring. Ringo got pissed off at one point during the White Album period and left the band. They welcomed him back with a roomful of flowers.

yeah, just look at Paul...

now he's 77

Now he's 80 :"D

Meet the Beatles and Get the Knack.

Dexter Morgan I never knew that Dr. Robert was from the U.S., let alone NYC (where I’m from). Interesting. Thanks.
