Ringo Starr

[Hotplant]

Ringo announced in a BIG way he hill chuck any fan mail on some specific day and will not sign anything ever again. NO Autographs he says.

WTF?! Your thoughts?

Personally I say so what...I never wanted his anyway.

Maybe he is in deep need of attention. Dunno, sounds absolutely ridiculous to have to say that in such an arrogant way.

[Knebby]

Like Lennon said, he wasn't even the best drummer in the band.

He's a pr*ck.

[alwizard03]

No Autographs no LP sales ban Him see what He thinks about no more money oh wait He has more money than God already oh well.

I watched the video on his website and I'd be pretty pissed off now if I was a Ringo fan. In fact, I expect he has quite a few ex-fans now.

Ringo had fans?

[Aquamarine]

When I think of all the Beatles pin-ups I had on my wall when I was younger--

I've now mentally torn him out of all of them. From now on it's John, Paul, George and X.

[Lilith]

I think he'd be better off moving to the Island of Sodor. (Don't know if this reference will cross the Atlantic successfully, so apologies to anyone who doesn't know what I'm on about!)

What a tosser.

[ally]

I wonder if he's started drinking again. Sounds like that kind of statement too me.

If not, then he really is an asshole

My youngest daughter and her friends, who are Beatles fans, watched this earlier this week and they were upset. In addition to upsetting his fans with his statements about the autographs, he apparently angered the citizens of Liverpool by making disparaging remarks about the city.

Yes he did MSG. Ringo is definitely suffering from "up his own arse" syndrome

Message received Lilith. Its such a shame when these guys develop a case of head inflation. I'm sure that everyone is now able to see his true colors.

Oh My My its still time for a Back Off Bugalo but judging from this Photograph Yassar and Ringo are twins sperated at birth.

Yassar? Is that the opposite of No Sir? It Don`t Come Easy does it?

Perhaps not the best choice of words but he probably had his reasons, unless it was just a publicity stunt. Check out the youtube at 0:20 and 1:09. If you think Zeppelin fans are bad...

Beatlemania

1964, Paris, France:

One hotel room alone was used for Beatle fan mail...

[Black Dawg]

Are you implying Ringo is an attention whore?

They shoulda kept Pete Best

All he said about Liverpool was there wasn't anything he missed about it. I think that is understandable given he's led a posh existence in LA for decades now. Insofar as the

autographs he's among many who have essentially stopped signing anything on account

of ebay. They're fed with taking the time to sign just so someone else can profit from it.

He also realizes John is gone, George is gone and he and Paul are getting on, so he feels like he's running out of time. At least he's straightforward and honest.

Ringo would agree, who needs this shit:

Perhaps he shouldn't have titled his last album Liverpool 8, then.

He appeared to me to be straightforward, honest, unpleasant, and slightly drunk.

Oh really !!!! .... So you saw the Beatles with Pete Best did you ?... I don't think so. Not looking right was not the only reason he never kept the gig you know. As for Ringo.. Leave him alone, he can say what he likes.

Easy Moby, it was a joke. Everyone knows Pete was fired for not being good enough.

[chef free]

I thought that Ringo ALWAYS answered ALL fan mail (I saw it on the Simpsons, more accurate than Wikipedia!). Maybe he's just tired of it. He's an under-rated "rock steady" type drummer.
