Ringo's latest endeavor: "Change The World".

[JohnnyRingo]

The last of the living hippies who hasn't changed in 50 years brought out a new EP called "Change The World". Ringo could have combined his previous EP "Zoom" with this one, but I'll forgive him since our supply of Beatles is running low these days.

This is the title track:

Ringo: drums, percussion, vocals
Joseph Williams: Synth bass, keyboards backing vocals
Steve Lukather: Guitar, backing vocals
Zelma Davis, Amy Keys, Billy Valentine, Daryl Phinnesee: Backing vocals

3. I always love songs with this sort of idealism,

and this is a good one from Ringo.

I posted one from Golden Earring here the other day, though it wasn't from their Sixties/Seventies hippie/psychedelia/progrock phase, but from their 1989 album Keeper Of The Flame, which was never released here.

Don't say impossible, when it's possible
We're responsible, let's turn the world around
Only one light to follow, only one dream to share
Let's strike a bargain, it's gonna get us there


That's after a verse where George Kooymans is singing about his "darling daughter," who was only a couple of years old when they recorded the song. Barry Hay was credited along with George in the songwriting credits, but I know from interviews that George sometimes gave Barry some words/lyrics along with the music if Barry was going to write the lyrics (some songs George wrote entirely on his own), so he was obviously thinking of his kids' future there (his son was only a few years older than his daughter).

We need idealistic artists even more today than in the Sixties.

4. Nice message, cool video (the kids made it themselves), but song is...meh

And I say this as a lifelong Beatle fanatic.
