60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
6/3/64 – Ringo Starr collapses from tonsillitis and pharyngitis, just before the Beatles are about to embark on a World Tour. He is hospitalized … and drummer Jimmy Nichol is brought in to substitute for The Beatles’ appearances in Australia.
(of course 58 years ago today, Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge ...
but that's a whole different era than we talkin' about here!!!)
