: What’s in your future Ringo? I know you had surgery (to repair damage to his shoulder caused by years of drumming). And I came back and Gary Burr said, ‘ah, I’ve got this bit of a melody for why am I wrong all the time.’ That’s how it came about. And then I walked the dog because I have the studio at home. So I came into the studio and (said), ‘well, why am I wrong all the time?’ And you know we started work. RS: ‘Wrong All The Time,’ everybody likes that ‘cause you know Barb and I were having this row, so I’d been hanging out…we have the band Ringo and the Roundheads, so we really know each other really very well and if somebody says something, we usually write a song about it. RS: There’s also one ‘Faded In And Faded Out,’ which you will be doing soon. RS: So which one do you want to know about, ‘Choose Love’ or Wrong All The Time?’ : There’s a song on it called ‘Wrong All The Time’ on it. : Tell me a little about that, ‘Choose Love.’ RS: And I have a new album called ‘Choose Love.’ RS: I feel great! Yeah, I know, I feel really…I felt really nervous on the way to the thing ‘cause your paintings are up now, but I just loved it when I came in ‘cause it looks great as you pan around,to see your stuff is great and its for a good cause and that’s the deal. : And how are you feeling today, are you proud, are you nervous? Now I have a friend who’s a painter who said, ‘well, what about oil.’ And he I’ve actually been painting for the last, well, since about 1990 really, but that was with acrylic. You know I mean I’m a musician, I’m a drummer, I write songs, I sing, I make CDs and now I’ve started doing this. How bright, looky you, yeah! Can you bring out the ones that don’t have faces ! This is the guy who said that, you’re not going to get away with that, thank you. You know you plan most of it, but suddenly its things like that, little crazy accidents, that I quite enjoy. And that’s part of the joy really, you know, that you get stuff that…you haven’t really planned it.

I actually moved them to his hat and then I thought, no not really I’ll take him away but I didn’t know how to take them away so that’s… RS: No, only one of them says Zak because I’m not really, you know, fully computer literate and I’ve…on one of the buttons I found letters, so I just…three letters, put them together and thought, I’ll try to move them to see if I could do that. : Did somebody show you how to do this, or did you just fiddle with it on your own? And then I got a drawing pad, you know, a slate and you can…an electronic one. I started actually just doing sort of design, you know, and then I did the first set with the mouse. RS: Well, it started on tour, when I was on tour with nothing better to do, sitting in all those different hotel rooms and (I) got the computer out and found this program, a painting program, and that’s how it started.
