Ringo Starr of The Beatles fame is speaking out to talk about how important it is to spread peace and love.
Ringo has always had “peace and love” as his mantra. In a new interview, the 81 year-old spoke out to say that spreading this message is more important now than it ever has been before.
“Well it’s always been important – and I do spread the message,” Ringo told Fox News. “I mean, you look at the photos in the ‘60s, we’re all doing this. We loved ’66 when flower power was coming in. It was such a change in those years – people with flowers and loving each other.”
There were a few bad moments, like Kent State and things like that, but we just went right for it,” Ringo added, referring to the 1970 tragedy in which the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed college students at a war protest at Kent State University, killing four students and injuring nine others.
“It was part of how we felt,” Ringo said of sharing the message then and now. “And I keep doing it now. I do it, I can only have myself do it. I can’t force anybody to be peaceful and loving.”
For his birthday of July 7, Ringo is known for asking his fans to take a moment and ask for peace and love. He’s been doing this event since 2008, and it all started when someone simply asked him what he wanted for his birthday.
“And out of the blue, I thought, ‘You know what would be great if everyone at noon on the 7th of July went ‘peace and love,’” he recalled back in 2016. “Wherever you are – on the bus, down the mine, wherever – you could just go ‘peace and love.’ That would be… a great gift to me.”
