Actually I have a five year old son who is absolutely
in love with Thomas the Tank Engine and has a poster
above his bed.  How were we to know that Ringo
tranforms into a rodent and hides between his musical
career and later TV career? ;0)

I make lots of references to the Beatles because I was
a young child in the sixties and heard them on the
radio when their hits were new!  I guess those songs
are hardwired into my cerebral cortex.  I even wrote a
couple of Harry Potter filks to the tune of some
Beatles songs in the past.  I saw no connection
between Peter and Ringo except for maybe the nose.

(who is now hooked on U2's latest CD "How to Dismantle
an Atomic Bomb".  If you listen to 'Vertigo' you get
an image similar to Harry Potter during a battle or
scar episode because it speaks to the power of love to
help one deal with the sometimes overwhemingly
powerful emotions of young people.)
