Since 2008 Ringo has invited everyone everywhere to think, say or post #peaceandlove at Noon their local time on July 7th to fulfill his birthday wish of a wave of Peace and Love encircling the planet. Usually, Ringo meets with fans in whatever city he is in, a tradition that began July 7, 2008, when he convened with fans and friends on the streets in front of the Hard Rock Café in Chicago, passing out cupcakes and joining the crowd for “Peace and Love” exactly at Noon. In the ensuing years it has grown enormously and this year there were over 35 Peace & Love events in countries all around the world.
TVMusic Network was on hand at the event and spoke with Ringo Starr.
