This July 7, 2010 Ringo will turn 70 and he will celebrate his birthday
in New York City. At Noon Ringo will be joined by family, friends and
fans all together in one simple salute: "Peace & Love".
The genesis of the July 7 Peace & Love Celebrations began in 2008 when
Ringo was asked during an interview with Access Hollywood, "what
would you like for your coming birthday?" and he replied
"more Peace & Love." That launched a Peace & Love campaign,
and Ringo encouraged everyone everywhere to say Peace & Love at Noon
their local time. The idea took hold and on July 7 2008, a wave of Peace
& Love swept the planet, with Ringo and Barbara joining throngs of fans
and Peace & Lovers on the streets of Chicago in front of the Hard Rock
Hotel.
The Hard Rock International will once again host various celebrations
around the world, with additional spontaneous Peace & Love events
cropping up everywhere. (In 2008 Peace & Love events occurred at the
Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago, LA, New York, and Florida as well as
happening at Abbey Road in London, one at Capitol Records in Los Angeles
and one at Strawberry Fields in New York's Central Park).
Please join the wave of Peace & Love as it continues this July 7 2010.
Whether you say it along with a crowd, out loud as you go about your
day, Tweet it or simply think the words, we hope you will join Ringo in
celebrating ‚"Peace & Love" wherever you are at Noon your local time.
Other noon celebrations
* London will celebrate with a Peace & Love gathering at Abbey Road.
* In Los Angeles, fans will gather for a Peace & Love moment in front of

Vine.
* The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, celebrates Ringo's birthday
