Lorne Greene's "Ringo" involves the narrator saving Ringo's life and then reencountering him when R. is a desperado and the narrator is a lawman. Ringo walks into a hail of bullets outside ( the N. is wounded, I think) ("... he amiled and said,'We're even, friend.'/ The crowd began to shout and cheer: nowhere was there shed a tear/ for Ringo." Later our hero visits the grave to pay respects and finds it an object of curiosity: "But on the cross they can't explain/The tarnished star above the name/ of Ringo." Chills. Allen Sherman recorded a satire of it about a barber who wants to cut a Beatle's hair, the last line of which is,"And who do you think performed that tonsilectomy..on Ringo." Misspent youth, indeed.
