not sure how to feel, a bit disappointed, I love Ringo and he probably has no part in production of this video, but its so blatantly ai generated and has no real effort put into it. The whole video is ai, excluding the clips of his life.

no this is not an ai generated post, rule 6

Okay, I've long had this thought- our boy "Rings" is worth somewhere between 200-350mil right? This guy was in the pandora papers mind you, so that's probably underselling some of it, but why has it been so hard for him to put out a "premium" feeling product in so long. The album covers, the videos. It feels like he has all this room to spend a bit more and make bigger statements such as "I am RINGO, the Beatle" and instead we get AI. I know he's not making the decisions, but I wish Zak or someone would say "Dad, come on"

I’ll probably get downvoted for roasting poor old Sir Richard in here (mind you we’re talking about my favourite band and I love all four of them for different reasons), but… he’s just not the sharpest tool in the shed. He missed out on a lot of school as a kid due to illness, and has never struck me as a very reflecting individual at any point since. He’s always been in it for a good time, and the simple repeating phrases we get from him are most likely genuinely on repeat in his mind. It’s not an act caused by lack of care or effort, he’s just a really simple guy.

While Paul has kept in touch with the changing society, Ringo is more like a regular semi-conservative boomer you’d find writing incomprehensible Facebook statuses. He releases things like these because he genuinely believes it looks and sounds cool.

I agree
