Reply to comment by Ray_Pingeau in TIL Jonny Greenwood pretended to play keyboards for months when he joined Radiohead. He was told "I can’t quite hear what you’re doing, but I think you’re adding a really interesting texture" by btb331

The Beatles were asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world and the response was "Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles".

More than thirty years ago, I was watching an interview with Ringo on TV and he boasted, “I’m the greatest drummer in the world.”

Alone in the room, I immediately shot back “You’re not even the greatest drummer in the Beatles.”

I have since heard that (admittedly fairly obvious) retort attributed to a dozen celebrities.

There is no other way to acquire info on a band that was active 60 years or so ago dude except from other people talking about it. Are you mentally disabled? You think I can just hop in a time machine and buzz back to the 60s to see for myself?
