If it comes to blows I have to say the smart money’s on Rog.
I don’t know, those famous rings could do a lot of damage to Roger’s “boat”
That link is behind a paywall, though little extra explanation is needed.
There you go

Thanks.
“I’ve never like the way that little man [Daltrey] runs that band.”
Runs the band? Roger’s so thick he couldn’t run round the block without getting lost
I also like the fact that the shortest Beatle has a pop at Rog for being little. This is all very entertaining.
The John E quote is especially amusing
It is very funny. Up there with the Mick Jagger laughter lines “nothing is that funny” response from George Melly.
And Peter Cook’s response to the pushy businessman – adapted for DeramDaze’s post below
Yeah but he is focussed and kept it together while Pete is all over the shop.
I would imagine that Ringo has a pretty good insight into the internal politics of The Who via Zac. It’s interesting that Pete was pretty mealy mouthed about the whole farrago.
It’s not actually Ringo insulting Roger though. It’s Zak saying Ringo insulted Roger. His dad might tell him off if he fibbed.
Forget imminent World War Three, this is what I’m calling the UN in to referee
Is that a HMHB lyric?
There’s history, Townshend called The Beatles “flippin lousy” in the mid 60s. It’s in The Kids Are Alright
Zak is getting the most out of his 15 minutes of fame. He’s great value for money at the moment.
Not keen on the phrase but I wouldn’t be critical if Ringo said to Daltrey, or indeed anyone who has ever been in The Who… “Excuse me, do you ‘know’ who I am?”
He’d have a point, it ain’t Daltrey’s boat that will appear on the cover of the definite book of the 20th century in 100 years time.
Be even funnier if RD responded by calling out to those within hearing distance.
“Can anyone help? There’s an elderly man here with a safety pin in
one ear who appears to have lost his memory”

As Bongo would say whilst making a peace sign or possibly a f#ck you sign with his fingers “ peace and love”
