Peace and love has long been Ringo Starr's personal motto and trademark sign-off as the Beatles' drummer turned solo artist. He closes many of his video messages, interviews and birthday greetings with the phrase, usually while flashing a peace sign, and fans have adopted it as shorthand for his upbeat outlook. The clip circulates on soundboards and in fan edits because it is short, instantly recognisable and carries no aggression, making it an easy way to end content on a positive note decades after Beatlemania.
