In the current issue of Rolling Stone (pictured, with John Mayer on the cover), Ringo Starr tells writer Neil Strauss the Beatles and Apple are still tussling over getting the Beatles to iTunes.

"Well, the iTunes thing is, you know, a three-way situation. And the Beatles are interested in it, as well as Apple, but there is no conclusion yet," he says.

Starr reveals the vocals in the song "Peace Dream," a tribute to John Lennon, were intentionally patterned after those in John Lennon's "Imagine." "It would have been awkward if you'd (Strauss) have done it," he explains, "but it was easier for me because I knew the man."

He also tells Strauss he's just a musician at heart. "I joined bands because I wanted to play with good players. That's all I ever wanted to do," he says. "Of course, the band I ended up in (was) really great, but it went a bit crazy."
