Beatles rocker Ringo Starr turns 80. Instead of the street party he’s thrown every year in Los Angeles, Ringo Starr will be taking his birthday celebration online Tuesday. The event will be streamed on YouTube and Starr promises a lot of star power, including Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Keb Mo and Willie Nelson. He's also asking, as he does each year, for fans worldwide to stop what they're doing at noon on July 7 and flash the peace sign. Ref. USAToday.
I wished I had read this before so I could have flashed the peace sign. It's good to see a celebrity doing his part during a pandemic by celebrating his birthday online. Kudos!
