Billy Shears was more associated with Paul McCartney than Ringo Starr. I think Ringo's thread should be called Ognir Rrats, Ringo's true alias! What do you think?

God I remember that TV special - it was truly dreadful! LOL! Do you really think that Billy Shears is more associated with Paul McCartney than Ringo Starr though? I mean, Ringo even says "yes my name is Billy Shears, you know it has been for so many years" on I Am The Greatest (although John Lennon wrote it, of course!) And all he wants to do is boogaloo!

Hmmm good points Alan. But, I would say that since Billy Shears was touted as the replacement for Paul McCartney he is always brought up in relation to Paul. Even when you google Billy Shears it's just loads of stuff about Paul.
But really though, this was just a ploy to talk about the Ognir Rrats special!! haha! How great is that video? I mean it's brilliant from start to finish.
Interviewer- "How'd you know it was Ringo?" George- "Ringo always calls collect"
Amazing!

I read the William Shears Campbell story, but at the end of the Sgt. Peppers song Paul introduces you to the one and only Billy Shears and Ringo comes on and sings 'With A Little Help From My Friends...
*btw loved that old Ringo TV Special you put up.

To those who know the Billy Shears connection to Paul then it is a confusing title for Ringo's section. I vote for a change to Ongir Rrats!

Wasn't Ringo known as Richie Snare at one time?

Maybe he could be Youngman Grand, his character in the Peter Sellers movie, The Magic Christian.

As Billy Shears was only associated with McCartney by crackpots who came up with the Paul Is Dead silliness I have always thought Ringo should be know as Billy Shears After all these years .

Ok well I'm gonna just mention that this is the first time I've ever googled Billy Shears. All these years I never thought 'Paul McCartney'.
