    Oh. So that is not Linda's voice saying, "That geezer is cruisin' for a bruisin'"? Who was it, Gilmour's wife? I think her name was Ginger. She was - is! - American.

    A quick search reveals that the 'cruisin' for a bruising' line was by Patricia Watts, the second wife of Floyd roadie (and father of Naomi Watts), Peter Watts:

    It would have been news to me if it was Ginger or any of the Floyd's other spouses (can't remember whether Roger was still with Judy Trim at this time or not) were on the album, but I'd honestly never thought until now who that voice belonged to. I definitely remember reading that Linda's contributions weren't used so I knew it wasn't her, but had no idea apart from that.

    Roger Waters said the McCartney's were very guarded, and didn't use anything they said.

    I learned something new today (and that bit about Naomi's dad - I love her!). Thank you, gentlemen.

    Couldn't find a thread for Ringo but just saw he's going to be knighted by the Queen in the New Years Honors!!! Now he and Paul will both be Sirs.

    Congrats to Ringo or Sir Richard Starkey.

    Brothers for life. RIP Glenn

    I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some." -Don Henley

    Wow, that's amazing. I wonder if he'll go by Sir Ringo or Sir Richard. Or maybe he won't use it at all, some people don't. I don't think Kenneth Branagh is being billed in his movies as Sir Kenneth Branagh.

    No, nobody actually uses the title in their professional lives. I imagine he will be Sir Richard but everyone will just continue to call him Ringo, just as his former bandmate is Paul.

    When I last saw the Rolling Stones the programme listed an assistant to 'Mr Jagger' even though he's been Sir Mick for quite some time now.
