Ringo Starr: Bob Dylan Turned The Beatles On To Pot | CONAN on TBS
/ teamcoco - Zábava
I remember reading in a book about the Beatles that John Lennon considered Ringo the "taste tester" whenever the band tried a new substance. They let Ringo try it first to gauge what kind of reaction to expect. Ringo was always game.
badass if true haha, wish I was there
I've always seen Ringo as the more conservative of the group.
Freeway i always thought that to be Paul, well at least when it came to drugs. Ringo was surprisingly open to a lot of those things though because he’s so layed back and goes with the flow
That explains why he doesn't age
That's why drummers always die first in a band.
"I'm lovable."
-ringo starr everyone
I just came back to my hometown of Boston from New York, and mom tells me that the Law has lessened its harsh attitude towards the use of weed. Amazing what time can do
AJ Lanterman what on earth does that have to do with Ringo?
Some Eggs Well I mean the subject they are talking about is weed in the video.
...said Thomas
@Daldiot - Truth. xD
Ringo is so humble and honest. Gotta love him.
Cassie Rosa "I'm a lovable guy"
3honest5me
Giacomo Delfin Me too )-‘:
yeah but behind closed doors he prays to the Devil... YEAH SO HONEST AND HUMBLE, such a lovable Satanist scumbag isnt he?...
And I do. Ringo is great. He and John were always my favorite Beatles. Still are. 😎
Shyguy33Games can you not say the same?
Kids love him because he was the first narrator of Thomas the Tank Engine.
The Conductor.
And he sang yellow submarine
He also narrated The Point, Harry Nilsson's brilliant full-length animated feature. If you haven't seen it, you should.
us kids are still too young to remember that tho :/
It goes farther back than that. Yellow submarine
Ringo: we got high and laughed our asses off.
Such an amazing quote
Ringo's impression of George was on point. Hahaha.
He was 72 at the time. 72?! He looks 45 at most. What the hell?
Rick Sanchez he looks 35 to me
18 at best!
16
12
The glint in the milkman's eye
Bob Dylan must have had some good pot, Ringo hardly ages!
Fact
Paul must have been picking up off someone else then
there is much better pot nowadays , the average Calif . pot nowadays is probably better then the best of what we smoked in the 60s
Yeah, he looks younger than he is
RiFF ringo is older than Paul and ringo looks so god damn younger than paul
The oldest Beatle is fairing the best it seems.
HughieDixon I think he'll be the last one too
George was the oldest then John, then Paul, then Ringo
George was the youngest lmao
Paul's older
Uno McSilver Dead wrong. The Beatles from oldest to youngest were Ringo, John, Paul, and George.
Ringo is so grounded, never has been a "star struck" egomaniac. He still looks great, always was my favorite Beatle!
+A Pullara He slowly evolved to my favorite.
He does look great!
Tango Bango I liked John for the music the most, but Paul for his personality
They had the same to boast about, some were (are) just more in awe of themselves and up their own arses more than Ringo (or George) ever was.
has to do with his childhood. Been tough.
Fact: Ringo is lovable
*He said so himself, and we trust Ringo*
Apparently Ringo Starr doesn't age.
***** He actually used to be a pretty severe alcoholic. He's clean now and vegan though which I'm sure makes a huge difference.
laser325 yeah....we already know that:)
***** dyes his hair though!
***** Because the Beatles don't either! ;D Heh. silly.
I know a 21 year old who look older than him
"The drummers always go first." XP
They gotta get to moving their gear
True that 🤣
Nate Nemetz ...Said Sir Topham Hatt.
@@chowder8802 is this the reason? 🙉
How is Ringo the oldest Beatle yet he looks like fifty years old.
I know it's crazy!
Random Stuff my dad is 56 and he looks older than ringo!
HℹFiVE™ Animation my dads 60 and looks older and I'm just 13
Because drugs are good
Something about Ringo, makes him seem so cool. He's just awesome
Could be the beatles thing
@@ripdopadipidydo36 LOL 🤣🤣🤣
"Bob Dylan yer dealer"
That had me laughing so hard XD

bwc3821 Pot Dylan.
oh goddddd
He's my tambourine man
Ooooooooø
pet lover mine too but he doesn't deal me drugs he deals me life .
Really hard to believe he's in his 70s. Talk about being in fantastic shape.
looks like he's in his late 50s
No kidding. Ringo is really with it. He's the oldest Beatle!
Looks like he's about 40.
wtfduud So true
....and the most articulate. Funny how things pan out.
I dont really listen to the Beatles much, but its kind of an honor to be alive while two of em still live.
I feel the same about like, David Gilmour and Angus Young and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Bob Dylan. I mean the list goes on and on. Living in the same time as these musicians that have changed music forever, it's a crazy feeling
Roger?
Start with Revolver! And yeah David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Nick Mason are still alive (feel they should all be named in that list)
Nah that LP is their most overrated by far (their worst is Let It Be) as they were already waiting to leave the band and their energy was of nostalgia, well produced but lacking the energy they had once had. I say start with Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper and the White Album. Other great ones are With the Beatles, Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour and A Hard Days Night. Still even their weak one's are better than most bands best!
I’m waiting for a person to comment about “faul” and the conspiracy theories about Paul 😂😂😂
Ringo always did have the nicest personality of the four.
Its also really shame that so many people keeps him so underrated. Hes as awesome as a man can be.
George Harisson is The Beatles for him.
Ringo is icing on cake!
I love The Beatles but Ringo was also an alcoholic that beat his wife often. He has spoken publicly about it.
+Robert J. Williamson no way bullshit
He's admitted in interviews. He described himself as an alcoholic, absent father and wife beater. He entered rehab after badly beating his second wife Barbara Bach while in a drunken blackout. So this is over many years. He's a much more complex character than the loveable Ringo we all know. Google it, it's not hard to confirm as he's admitted it himself a few times.
drummer gives thumbs up right at 4:20 mark
illuminati confirmed
+DW Rose oh behave!!
K Michael yeah you claim Illuminati and a video but at the end you'll see that Ringo Starr actually turns down the credit that comes and tries to give him for the marijuana becoming legalized in California so as you can see if you examine it you realize that Ringo doesn't want to be a poster boy for the drug
actually it is at 4:20 mark
Squanch Actually as of yesterday, 4/20, it is Weed Mark.

"Ye'd 'ave to give me all the muney."
That sounds like George alright.

Getting in-touch with his inner Taxman

"I went first." 😂 I like how serious he was when he said it.
Eduardo Sanchez “I went first.” Said James.
i wish i was in that room with bob dylan and the beatles .. someone invent a time machine please!!
I wonder who rolled
@@daviedovey RIZLA might know
Lucien Rubempre paul is the roller
and the Walrus czcams.com/video/Ogqp3m9t0MQ/video.html@@senadbajrami2151
Maybe Dylan
It's nice that he's still got his accent after all these years and there is no way he looks 74. The years have been great to him
He's 74!!!
Mooseman Damm. Good for him
It's hard to believe McCartney is the same age as him. I know people in their 50s that look older than him
bartalor Yes he is. Paul is 2 years younger.
Well why wouldn't he still have his accent ? He was raised up in Liverpool. What accent should he have ? The fake California " we don't have an accent " accent ? Everybody has an accent in every language across the globe . Why would Ringo change his ? To be Hollywood " Bob Barker " game show host ? Please enlighten everybody of what is the " perfect " way to pronounce a word ?
His humour is the same, I love it
i like how courteous and well mannered conan is being. i find a lot of the interviewers of the beatles interrupt them all the damn time, and yet here, i got to hear from ringo in his own timing, passion and detail. im really thankful for that
It's because Conan is about the only one left, who can conduct a decent interview. The others just yak away and yes, interrupt the guest.
Bob Dylan: hey kid wanna get high?
Fuck yeah!
Smug little shit
"The drummers always go first" is what made me drop a like
Ringo is the coolest man alive--(did you notice he was wearing two peace signs?)...I heard him say in an interview once that he "spends his time moving toward things that are about Love and moving away from things that are not"...that's cool
I love Ringo! It made me remember the 2nd time I smoked weed. I felt nothing the first time. The second time was at a friends. My best friend and her bf and my bf all were going to cook out. One guy broke out one helluva bong and we didn't have the cookout, we called in a pizza. We were so high and laughing so hard all four of us couldn't get up to answer the door when the pizza came. Luckily, the door was unlocked, but it took FOREVER to get the guy to come in because when one of us started to yell, come in, we'd bust out in the most uncontrollable laughter. Anyway, it was 1984! A great year indeed!!
Yes it was!!!
Marijuana: WEED with ROOTS in HELL
I think the reason why some kids love Ringo is because of his narrator part in Thomas The Tank Engine
Funnily enough, he did the Thomas thing because he was already so good with kids. The Beatles knew that Yellow Submarine was going to appeal to kids as well so they had Ringo sing it. He's always been so paternal. In fact there's this amazing clip of a little girl that chats with Ringo on a train during their first trip to America. And Ringo doesn't make a fuss about it or anything, just immediately begins to entertain the little girl.
Kommandant_PretzelsV2 Once, an engine attached to a train
Was afraid of a few drops of rain.
It rushed into a tunnel and squeaked through its funnel
And wouldn’t come out again.
The engine’s name is Henry. His driver and fireman argued with him, but he wouldn’t budge. “The rain will spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes!” He said.
The conductor blew his whistle till he had no more breath and waved his flag till his arm was sore. But Henry stayed in the tunnel and blew smoke at him. “I’m not going to spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes in front of you!”
Then along came Sir Topham Hatt, the man in charge of all the engines on the Island of Sodor. “We will pull you out.” He said. Everyone pulled except him. “My doctor has forbidden me to pull.” Then they tried pushing from the other end of the tunnel. But it didn’t work. “My doctor has also forbidden me to push.”
At last, Thomas came along. The conductor waved his flag to stop him. Everyone argued with Henry. “Look, it stopped raining.” They said. “Yes, but it will begin again soon.” Said Henry. “Then what will become of my green paint and red stripes then?”
Thomas pushed and puffed and puffed and pushed as hard as ever he could. But still, Henry stayed in the tunnel.
Eventually, even Sir Topham Hatt gave up. “We shall take away your rails,” He said. “And leave you here until you’re ready to come out of the tunnel.” They took up the old rails and built a wall in front of Henry so that the other engines wouldn’t bump into him.
All Henry could do was to watch the trains going through the other tunnel. He was very sad because he thought no one would ever see his lovely green paint and red stripes again.
As time went on, Edward and Gordon would often pass by. Edward would say, “Peep, peep, peep! Hello!” And Gordon would say, “Poop, poop, poop! Serves you right!”
Poor Henry had no steam to answer. His fire had gone out. Soot and dirt from the tunnel had spoiled his lovely green paint and red stripes anyway. How long do you think Henry will stay in the tunnel before he overcomes his fear of the rain and decides to journey out again?
Ringo is so amazing omg
"Im lovable" made me laugh soooooo much
Does he dye his beard?
hi dave
probably
Yes
He dyes his hair and beard. He started going grey in his 20"s
@@gsungud fr?!
I literally cannot stop thinking of Thomas the Tank Engine...
same
+stegsify why's that?
+That One Memer Guy he was a narrator or something on it
+True thats where i first heard his voice, when i was 3 or 4 watching thomas. when i got in to the beatles, i knew he sounded familiar
"We got high, and we laughed our asses off."
said the fat controller.
"Bob Dylan's yer deahler" - I fell out laughing at how funny and cool that sounded.
I like how Conan is promoting this as Ringo dropping a gem of a story just for Conan's show. This story has long been in the public eye. It's one of the most important events in modern history. When Bob met the Beatles in their hotel in NY, it changed the course of popular music for the rest of the century. It's well documented. This is merely a retelling of this story on Conan's show by Ringo.
I mean Conan did preface it with "I've heard this story, people have heard this story, but is it true?"
i thought it would be a setup for another variation of the story i'd heard. that Dylan did pass to Ringo first, but never having smoked anything other than cigs before Ringo assuming he should treat it the same, he smoked the entire joint down himself. and that he was then catatonic in the sky with diamonds while the others laughed their heads off.
Ive played drums for the past 35 years. ive been around ALOT of drummers, been in alot of drum discussions with other drummers, and seen tons of interviews with other drummers. Ringo Starr is the name comes up time and time again as the drummers choice as their favorite drummer of all time.
Ringo STILL looks cool!
T manni he still acts cool.
Sweet man.
⚘
Ringo is a pretty chill dude.
Ringo is 73 years old !!! He looks like hes in his late 40's. He was the least serious and the most funny of the Beatles. I always love to hear him talk ..great guy.
Ringo. The coolest man alive. Maybe the coolest ever.
AVweb he’s a bellend
@@bobsmith3291 you’re a bellend. Ringo is the best
Wouldn't go that far. Scatman John?
And Paul McCartney
He’s the greatest
Conan clearly a Beatles fan. Really appreciate it.
His positivity,good nature ,sense of fun keeps the Starr young
I like Conan the best he seems most natural and he lets his guests just talk without interrupting
This man looks absolutely amazing for his age
Catchy classy songs such as Yellow Submarine and Octopus's Garden tell you a lot about Ringo , he's really a kid ,a lovable one indeed.
Well he didn’t write Yellow Submarine, he just sung it. And Octopus’s Garden was probably a psychedelic trip and was written when the Beatles all went to India to practice meditation
I like Don't Pass Me By, too.
I was lucky enough to have known of Ringo in the beatles when i was kid, but i think a lot of kids today know of ringo today because of his early work with thomas the tank engine. I don't watch the show really at all anymore, but its funny to think of when ringo gets brought up among my friends Ringo Starr and how i liked his music its usually "wasn't he mr. conductor on shining time station" and i just lol.
have you got proof
Smurf Modz Proof of what?
Stfu Loser
Bob Dylan's your dealer
Pot Dylan.
@@andrea8m Pot Dealer
This is an old video but you can't help but like Ringo, he is so down to earth!
I actually saw Ringo live and he was so nervous he started the show late, I felt so bad for him ❤️ but he was amazing.
This is amazing :D Ringo is still super funny and laidback, I wish I can be the same when I'm 64
hes 74
Where Am I pun was intended
When I get old and losing my hair, many years from now... I got it bro
u will be fed when you're 64
+Ivan I by you
He's so charming. Really a great public personality.
Bob Dylan = Pot Dealer
Mind blown...
For whatever reason, Ringo always tells this story wrong.
What actually happened was famed American journalist
Al Aronowitz arranged that evening for The Beatles to meet
Bob Dylan...and to be introduced to pot. Ringo reluctantly
was the first to try it ONLY because within the "pecking order"
of that band it was decreed by John Lennon that Ringo would
always be the first one to try something new...as the others watched.
If Ringo seemed to enjoy it, only then would the other Beatles
follow suit.
*****
lol.. i think ringo knows his own story
Devan Rector
To be honest, I don't quite believe Ringo knows his own stories.
***** Nice story, but Ringo was actually there when it happened so I believe him
doctor robert on revolver is about bob dylan
The best part of this interview is the Liverpool accent
when the beatles first came to america, they sold 4 buttons/pins each with a different beatles face on them. the ringo buttons outsold the 3 others by 5x times. there’s a reason why. ringo is beloved.
"i'm lovable"
damn right he is, still couldn't believe he was Mr. Conductor from Shining Times Station and Thomas the Tank Engine show
lemme remind you guys that this guy is 76 years old. He looks younger than me and im 20
Still my favourite member of the Rolling Stones
+Mark Perrie Still my favorite member of The Doors.
Still my favorite member of Nirvana next to Robert Plant
Still my favorite member of the Monkees next to Sammy Davis, Jr.! 😂😂😂
Still my favorite member of pantera besides jack white
Yeah he was awesome in megadeth!
Ringo is 75 and goddamn he looks great still.
He's a Beatle. Therefore, he is untouchable.
I watched that Get Back show, I caught a really great comment from Linda (oh Linda!), she said: "i'm the most at peace around Ringo". How sweet. He really comes across as the nicest coolest dude, just chill an lovin' life as much as possible.
1:35 is a beautiful moment
I love how Conan laughs.
*EVERYBODY MUST GET STONED*
- Bob Dylan
Well i guess there were no exceptions
I like how he engages the band, especially the drummer in this interview 😁 Ringo indeed is the coolest one 👍🏻
He's always been good with kids
He’s so cool man💕
0:59 i totally relate ...i have been playing live for 30 years and i still get butterflies sometimes ...love ringo!
Who doesn't know Ringo starr.
He made great music
Voiced a narrator on Thomas the Tankengine
And is sooooo Amazing!!!
4:19 meme potential here
This guy is one of the great human beings in this world. I can't imagine anybody not enjoying his presence.
ringo is still hilarious. it's obvious why they chose him, waited for him, and never let him leave. even when he left they waited for him and threw him a celebration upon his return. ringo has the heart
adam smith They didn't really wait for him. They got a replacement drummer because they couldn't stop touring. Ringo was essential, though.
Matches_Malone He’s not talking about when they were still touring. Ringo got pissed off at one point during the White Album period and left the band. They welcomed him back with a roomful of flowers.
Its funny, you can tell when Conan respects somebody on his show because he literally WONT interrupt them ever. you dont often see that kind of respect with Conan XD
I don't care too much for Dylan, Dylan can't buy me drugs
Can't buy me druuuugs, everyone told me so. can't buy me druuuugs, no no no, nooooooo.
I lol'd :D
Drugs? Pfft. I'm into hugs, myself. Hard hugs.
Don't do hugs kids
Bob "the dealer" Dylan singing: " And in the end, the drugs you take is equal to the drugs you made".
Ringo does the best impressions of the overs
Dylan assumed - before he met them - that The Beatles were already turned onto pot because he misheard the lyric in 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' that says "It's such a feeling that my love, I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide" and instead thought they were singing: "It's such a feeling that my love, I get high, I get high, I get high".
There really wasn't any pot in Liverpool at the time. The Beatles took copious amounts of speed and drink in Hamburg.
That's true. John had to correct Bob, about the lyrics.
and then, they got high. 😎
"I Want To Hold Your Hemp."
HE'S 73????????????
yeah, just look at Paul...
now he's 77
Now he's 80 :"D
The Beatles, aand Bob Dylan , IN THE SAME ROOM. what a blessed floor.
Ringo doesn't look a day over 40. The man has the philosopher's stone
He sounds exactly the same!!
Great Ringo interview!. He was always known as the "Happy Beatle". It still shows. Thanks for posting.
You could see it in A Hard Day's Night. He loves kids. Love Sir Richard.
"So why do people love you?"
"I'm lovable."
*THIS IS A FACT!*
Peace and love. Peace and love!
I’m 15 and I know so many people my age and around it that still listen to rock music and they all favor the Beatles over everyone else
It’s amazing And official
Rock and Roll will never die
And if Ringo is gonna b 80 this July he’ll probably never die
4:20 A wild Heisenberg appears...
Whenever he finishes a sentence I half expect him to say “said Thomas”
Nearly 80!? He looks younger than a foetus
feoueoueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoeueoutus
3 years and you still haven't corrected the spelling
Who else has the phrase “PEACE AND LOVE” running through their head while watching this?
Damn Ringo just never ages...always luved him, just a straight on, funny dude!
Ringo Starr. The man's a living legend.
Ohmygod how much I love ringo
"You'd have to give me all the money" 😂🤣
Georgie and Richie ❤️
good old ringo looks like millhouse!☺
Ringo's such a good lad. My favorite Beatle!
great george impression
4:20 (ironic) this drummer's just like 'I just got a thumbs up on live TV from Ringo Starr'...hahaha
OMG Ringo looks so young!! I know this is 2012, but that was only 5 years ago. Craziness! I saw him in concert a few times and was once in first row. He dances around like he was a kid. Amazing!!
