Just another brainless celebrity lemming. Ignore him.
I am sure no pervert will take advantage of a law that allows him access to the woman’s bathroom. </S>
He played drums because he no other social redeeming qualities or skills to offer.
Mr. Starkey is worth a cool 300 million. He’ll get over it.
I thought the lyrics were meant to be an insult directed toward Yoko Ono.
I always thought the first line to “Get back” was, “Jojo was a man who thought he was a woman”.
It was 1970 & the Beatles were off the deep end & Yoko Ono was doing a Svengali on Lennon. I had long since quit listening.
Why does society have to change everything to accommodate the perverted predilections of this small minority of people, who should just be told that the rules of society are set and they should use their own bathrooms and not those of the opposite sex.
Confused about your sex? Use the toilet at home before venturing out into the real world, please.
Well you should see Polythene Pam
She’s so good looking but she looks like a man
Yeah you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag...
Get a dose of her in jackboot and kilt
She’s killer diller when she’s dressed to the hilt
She’s the kind of the girl that makes the News Of The World
—Lennon/McCartney
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
—Davies
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, “Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side.”
—Reed
I’m just a sweet transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania

If celebrities like Springsteen and Starr stick to not performing in states that implement policies they don’t like, they’re only hurting their own income. Same goes for companies that choose not to do business in states that don’t kow-tow to their corporate whims. And that’s something I can live with.
No idea what Ringo’s sexual thing is
I do know that I have met him several times (which for a kid from his era was huge), and he helped my son in the music industry, so I must disclose my conflict of interest (I do consider him a friendly person, but he probably wouldn’t remember who I am, except to say I am “so and so’s dad”, which is irrelevant to him)
In any event, I never really thought about “get back” as a song about sexuality.
I thought it more about when the shit hit’s the fan, get back to where you once belonged (your family and friends back home). That song carried many of us. Get back was timely, and had meaning beyond whatever someone wants to make of it now. When all hell was breaking loose, you just had to “get back”.
That’s how I read into it when I was far far away in a land of rice paddies. I didn’t care about shemales at that time, just wasn’t on my mind.
Lola? Different story. But I still loved the song. Different era, different times, different mind-set.
Ringo’s not going to play in North Carolina??? Oh no! Did Country Joe and the Fish cancel too? Strawberry Alarm Clock? Jefferson Airplane? How are we ever going to have another Sixties concert????

The justice for these Hollywood types might be to pirate their music and movies and send them to China and Russia.
Those aren’t the all the lyrics to GET BACK.. Just the second verse. Not that it changes anything just saying.
Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn’t last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she’s got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta. Go home
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
