Outside Chicago's Hard Rock Hotel on Monday, ex-Beatles drummer Ringo Starr glanced at his watch and threw his hands in the air.<br /><br />"Twelve o'clockâpeace and love!" he yelled, flashing double peace signs with his fingers.<br /><br />A crowd of about 300 lining both sides of South Water Street for a solid block erupted in cheers, then serenaded him with a rendition of "Happy Birthday." The embrace of his message for the day, simply "peace and love," was his 68th birthday wish, he said.<br /><br />"It's a fantasy, and it's a dream I have," Starr said, "that one minute, one day, one month, one year, everyone will go peace and love."
