Sorry, but I think you are a bit off track as to Pete really being a bad drummer. I hardly think that they would have reached the popularity they did if he was. Being bad for the group as a whole, maybe, but not so much for the band. Being a bad drummer and being bad for the group are two completely separate things, and that really was the issue with Pete. Yes, he was extremely popular, and unfortunately, just didn't fit in as one of the guys, so to speak. That happens. That can affect the music overall as well. I give him a lot more credit for how he has handled it over the years, than for how the other three have. None of it lies on Ringo's shoulders.
So long, and thanks for all the fish! :-)
