Ringo Starr Says His Favourite Bob Dylan Song Is ‘When The Deal Goes Down’
Ringo Starr has picked an obscure 2006 Bob Dylan song as his favourite Dylan song. ‘When The Deal Goes Down’ is from Bob’s ‘Modern Times’ album.
“You just got to love Bob,” Starr told Far Out Magazine in the UK. “My old-time favourite lately is ‘When The Deal Goes Down,’ and it’s just a beautiful love song. It’s this beautiful love song, he’s very romantic in a lot of songs, everyone listens to his wacky dream stuff, which is great. He moves me on that record.
Harrison Ford Was Once A Roadie for The Doors
Harrison Ford is probably one of the most recognized names in Hollywood now, but what about before he hit it big?
A clip of an interview Ford did with Far Out Magazine from the 80 s is making its rounds, where he talks about his start with filmmaking, but on the other side of the camera.
In 1968, he was still working as a carpenter when a call soon after from his friend from UCLA, Paul Ferrara, asked him to come out and help out as a cameraman for a new film.
Ford says he went and took a short lesson in shooting film at the Sixth Annual Renaissance Pleasure Faire.
