We still argue over these people the way we do over Antony and Cleopatra joining Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear, and the rest of Shakespeare’s tragedies (my judgment: it doesn’t belong). Is Extra Texture (Read All About It) worse than Red Rose Speedway — which is more drug-addled? And what’s for supper anyway?
A caveat: I haven’t listened to any Ringo album after the one where he undercuts his performed humility by adding a title to his name, nor have I paid Paul the same compliment since 2013.
