Happy 84th Birthday Pete Best! November 24th, 2025

The Beatles invited Best to join the band on 12 August 1960, on the eve of the group's first Hamburg season of club dates. Ringo Starr eventually replaced Best on 16 August 1962 when the group's manager, Brian Epstein, fired Best #BeatlesHistory

Never before or since have two men been more “meant to be” than Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. Which is why Celine Dion’s version of “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” — indisputably to me a stone cold classic — such a triumph. Sometimes you outrun your own muse.

Happy 40th birthday to this beautiful beast. The crescendo of singles leading up was almost unbearably perfect, the album itself totally thrilling. Started my first band the morning after seeing them live (12/8/85, 9:30 Club in DC), which led directly to SLR a few years later. Changed my life!

"All the Best Cowboys..." is Pete's personal "Who By Numbers": an album for grown adults wrestling with growing older and further away from their youth.

ME: So these guys couldn’t play before?

BEATLES: Right. Sgt. Pepper taught them.

ME: How long did that take?

BEATLES: One day.

ME: Who’s in this band?

BEATLES: There’s Billy Shears, the singer.

ME: Who plays him?

BEATLES: Ringo

ME: Who else?

BEATLES: No idea.
