Nashville (CNN) -- There is a quiet hum in the air. Moments later, it's clear why. Ringo Starr sweeps in, and it feels like a cool breeze has washed over the room despite the sweltering 100-degree Southern summer heat outside. Ringo Starr still rocking out at 72 His apparel is basic but he exudes "rock star" -- strolling in wearing a pinstriped blazer, a T-shirt, dark jeans and sneakers. Two silver pendants adorn his neck: The longer of the two is a signature peace sign; the other, fashioned from a 45 LP adapter that was immediately given to him when he remarked to its former owner how much he liked it.
