On Tuesday (Nov. 9), the legendary Sir Ringo Starr sat down with Linda Perry for a candid conversation on the latest episode of Perry’s new Twitch show, The Art Of… Touching on everything from his time in The Beatles to his approach towards music-making, his thoughts on the state of the world, his view of the modern music industry’s landscape, and more, the interview offered a neat peek into one of the minds that helped shape the fabric of culture in the 20th century.
“I thought it’d be a great idea to promote ‘Change the world’—it needs fucking changing right now because it’s going to end,” the now-81-year-old told Perry, referring to the new music video for his song, “Let’s Change The World.”
“It is going to go on fire or drown, but nobody is really doing anything,” Starr continued. “I’m not political, but Japan and Russia didn’t even turn up [at the ongoing COP26, a United Nations conference focused on environmental topics]. India is finding that they can’t stop using coal because there’s a billion of them and they all use it. That’s doing a lot of damage. So, where do we go from there? What are the politicians going to do?”
