Today, former Beatle Ringo Starr turned 83.

You might never know it by looking at him. Or, for that matter, by watching him literally run onto a stage, looking slim and energetic, like a man half his age, and possibly like a man one-third of his age. Perhaps that is why, in a recent article, he claims to feel like he still feels 27. Indeed, he says that "nothing makes me feel old."

Wow. That from a man who just today turned 83.

Years ago, when asked what he wanted for his birthday, he responded by saying that he simply wanted everyone to pause at noon on his birthday, and simply say, "Peace and Love!"

That sounds good to me. Since then, I have tried to keep that tradition alive on my end. And in recognition of Ringo's birthday, let me do it again.

"Peace and love, Ringo! Peace and love."

Incredible.
