Private Sessions
.
Just the other day I learned about a show I had not heard about, Private Sessions on A&E. I immediately Tivoed it because I love interview shows. In this one the artist performs as well. I've just watched the Ringo Starr episode so far - Queen Latifah is next in the queue. No one will ever accuse Ringo of being a great musician, but he's such an icon, it was thrilling to watch. He performed 4 songs, I think it was - with Dave Stewart - and a bunch of kids young enough to be his grandchildren. They had tiny video tape pieces where people ask him questions - I assume these are always famous people because in Ringo's case Yoko Ono and Max Weinberg asked questions.
Lynn Hoffman is the interviewer and she seems just right, knowledgeable*, sincerely interested - not too anything. Check it out.
*except for the fact that she says Ringo has been called "the world's greatest drummer"

I was thinking about going to see Ringo perform at Bethel simply because he's a BEATLE, but I probably won't do it... You've got me curious about what Yoko's question was!
Ringo was never my favorite Beatle, but I have two of his songs on my ipod; The No No Song and Photograph. :)
Depending on who Ringo brings as his All Starr Band, it might be a good show - especially since you are so hip to newer bands, Stephanie.
Yoko's question was stupid - "How do you stay so trim?" and other even less memorable question.
Sharon - he sang Photograph on the show!
