BTW, here's what I heard. Mr. Starkey and his band were booked to play
one
song on a daytime talk show. He asked for 8 minutes, the producer said 6
was
all they could spare, and Starkey agreed. So they showed up at the studio
on
the scheduled day and demanded 8 minutes. The producer said no, you can
only
have 6 minutes, and anyway you already agreed to it. Starkey had a cow
and
stormed out, leaving the show with 6 minutes to fill.

Does that sound rational to you?

When was this alleged incident?

Found it... The show was the one with Regis and Kelly, and the incident of
insanity occurred in January '08.

Also, another detail I just remembered: Starkey performed a song about his
beloved Liverpool on the Late Late Show, but it was apparent he thought he
was performing for a hometown (Liverpudlian) crowd. To me, he looked stoned,
but even stoners are usually aware of which continent they're on.

Here he is on the Early Show via satellite from Liverpool:

Different Late Late Show performance, "A Little Help From My Friends":

The Regis thing was more a rock star ego trip. Ringo was reportedly deep
in alcoholism. Combined with the rock star/millionaire thing, he might
be a handful.
