Gail, everyone knows that Ringo found fame after the Beatles as the voice actor of the beloved titular character on the Australian TV show, Doctor Snuggles!

He also became a famous director, and George Harrison became part of a couple groups and had hit .

The chaotic power of Gail Simone is truly something to behold. Scarlet Witch wishes her mastery of chaos approached that of Gail’s.

Ringo’s living his best life on tour!! And he was the Thomas the Tank Engine narrator/actor in England.

Success is subjective.

Any solo success by McCartney is negated by the drag factor of THE FROG CHORUS.

Ah, but was it really Paul?

Look at George as well.

Little known fact, Paul is the only Beatle without a solo #1. All his lost-Beatle #1s were either with Wings or duets with Stevie Wonder and MichaelbJackson

You remind me of my students who used to say, “did you know Paul McCartney was in a band? Yeah, it was called Wings”
No cultural education, too bad. Sadder still they were journalism students.
