It's fantastic that George Harrison is finally getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame April 14. Actually, this was originally announced in 2007, according to several stories on the internet. We're thrilled that it's finally happening. It's a honor he very much deserves.
John Lennon (see picture at right) and the Beatles already have stars. Lennon's is located at the Capitol Records tower in Los Angeles at Hollywood and Vine. And the Beatles have one as a group.
But where are the stars for Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr?
Guess what? Neither of them have one.
Why?
How about petition drives to make it known we want them to finally get their own stars.
Actually, we don't need a petition for Paul. His is in the works. A source at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce tells us Paul McCartney's star "was selected/approved many years ago and we are just waiting for his people to give us a date on when he would like to do it."
But, she added, "Someone just needs to step in and nominate Ringo, which I am sure will happen soon."
So how about now? We've set up an online petition to nominate Ringo for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Please sign it.
Let's make this honor, which Ringo deserves, happen.
(A side note: You would think they would be, but neither John Lennon's star, nor the Beatles is the closest one to the door of the entrance of the historic Capitol building. Guess whose is? Garth Brooks. The guy who tried -- and failed -- to beat the Beatles' CD sales records. How ironic.)
