Ringo Starr writing 'autobiographical' record

Ringo Starr has shunned the typical format for an autobiography in favour of penning an album about his life. 

He explained in a recent interview that he's working on more personal material about his own experiences:

"I am actually making a record about Liverpool. It's about me and Liverpool. It's like I've decided to do mini-autobiographies, instead of writing a book, I'm doing it on record."

The former Beatles drummer feels more comfortable documenting his exciting life in the notes and lyrics of a song than putting pen to paper for a book, and told Uncut magazine that he'd rather make music than literature:

"Right now, I'd rather put it quickly in a song, snippets of part of my life. Everybody talks about The Cavern Club, but in this new track, I actually mention the Iron Door, which was a much better club, it was more of a real rock club."
