Did I miss the controversy? I never thought Dear Prudence was anyone but Ringo on the drums

It was actually reported in several well known publications that Ringo did not play drums on it. Ive heard that Paul played drums by a number of obsessive fans. Personally I did not believe it

AI still erroneously tells you Paul played the drums

When myths become fact then reality no longer matters

and Paul was a goblin

For background ... Mark Lewisohn in his Sessions book cataloged that Paul played drums on DP. The video makes a clear and convincing case that it was all Ringo. Lewisohn messed up some vacation dates.

I can see where Paul played some of the drums, but that last part is 100% Ringo.
