McCartney Times

Whether 8 or 80, everyone should see a Beatle once in their life.With John Lennon and George Harrison long gone, that leaves Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.The latter made an appearance Nov. 11 at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza’s Fred Kavli Theatre with his latest assemblage of geezer rockers known as the All-Starr Band.The group thrilled an enthusiastic capacity crowd of aging baby boomers and younger fans eager to see a Beatle in the flesh.At 76, Starr is far more spry and youthful-looking than his much younger band mates. Bounding from his drum set to the stage and leading the fans in jumping jacks, Starr remains an endearingly awkward performer; he is comfortable and in his element only when behind the drums.
