I love Linda a lot for many reasons but Ringo really scored with Barbara Bach. They had a very stormy drunken early times but got through them and came out the other side, even stronger than they ever were. Get well Ringo from Covid. Barbara needs you.

I always thought she was much younger than him but I see there’s only a seven year difference. Hope Ringo recovers well. She was eighteen years old when she attended the Shea stadium concert.

Talking about musicians being affected by Covid, was sad to read that Chris Cross had it really bad, was temporarily paralysed.

Cross said doctors diagnosed him with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder in which the immune system attacks the nerves, that they believed was caused by his having Covid-19.
“It was the worst 10 days of my life,” Cross said. “And I couldn’t walk, could barely move. And so it was certainly the darkest of times for me, you know? It really was touch-and-go, and tough.”

I know it’s often said about people, but to me he’s really such an underrated talent.

Yeh, if your immune system is bad or compromised, you become a target for Covid, flu or many other immune based maladies.
