Bitter Ringo Won't Sign a Thingo

For a guy obsessed with the phrase peace and love, Ringo Starr seems to have a lot of pent up aggression!

The guy from the Beatles who isn't John, Paul or George just posted an angry online rant warning his fans to stop polluting his damn mailbox with crap for him to sign.

Ringo ain't got the damn time to please the people who helped fund his damn empire -- he's too busy getting ear piercings and getting his beard carefully manicured and stealing sun-glasses from Dame Edna, dammit.

16. There is only one word that is fitting to a man who forgets that it was the fans who made the band that he was even lucky to be a member of the biggest band in history. There is only word for a guy who punishes fans instead of the paps when he feels under pressure. There is one word for a man who would only give you an autograph if you paid him for it but won't consider those who simply ask.

DOUCHE!

No wonder people admire and love Paul but don't really care much for Ringo. He did a good job riding on the others' coat tails. He doesn't have gratitude to show for it but instead a huge ego. Love and peace, my butt! Still, best to him, even when he no longer has fans because he forgot where he came from. If he wants out of the public eye, then he needs to stop making CDs and being paid big bucks to make appearances. He could retire and live quietly, but he won't. He'd sooner make his V signs at the camera for a price. He and Heather Mills would be like peas in a pod.

19. Like I have always said.....the Beatles had good music that changed alot of the music industry back in the 60's but the Beatles were sooooo over rated. Now, if you listen to some Paul McCartney and Wings, that is some good classic rock-n-roll!!! Whether or not a celebrity feels overwhelmed with their fans is one thing, but to go as far as to make it public????? You deserve all the bad publicity you get!!

20.
Ringo is a sweeetheart guy. No human being can sign his name a 1000 times a day. , much less for 58 years.

All Ringo owes his fans is music

21. I've been a Beatle fan since 1964 - my goodness what a jerk you have become. Don't worry Ringo - no more requests no more fan mail. No more fans. You want it ? You got it. You were never that important to the Beatles anyway. Not such a good dye job on the hair kiddo. Peace. Out.

22. Screw you Ringo! I named my dog after your lame ass ! Now I will have to change it to Ungrateful Bastard! Jerk!

23. He said he has "too much to do" in the video. That 's understandable. So what's with the remote control in his hand? Is that his "too much to do?"

24. Screw him. He was lucky to even be in that band, and now that he is old, he has now turned on his fans. His albums that he put out many years ago had mediocre sales and were poorly written. Just because he was one of the Beatles doesn't make him a great singer or song writer. Good luck, Ringo, in your misery.

25. What an ungrateful jerk off. Never liked you before, and will never like you now. Go find a career!

26. If he was to remember who made him the star he is, that actually happened 40 years ago.
For the love of God, I'd be tired of people hounding me every chance they got for over 40 years.

27. Geez...This weekend I heard the new John Lennon bio paints him as an abusive father/husband, Ringo is an ex (?) alcoholic who doesn't want to sign anything anymore, George was a serial adulterer during his marriage to Pattie Boyd, and during their divorce proceedings, there was a rumor that Heather Mills McCartney had a tape detailing Paul's abuse of Linda.

Thanks for bursting the bubble....

28. I'll bet Pete Best would LOVE to receive mail asking for autographs.
I suppose it's better that Ringo tell people up front though.

29. After the 20th of October, we should all take a lesson from Ringo, and go out to our garages, and throw away all the junk that is keeping us down. Each fan mail is like a little weight that weights down ringo's life. All the things that we surround our life with are like little weights that get in our way.

Free oneself with peace, and love by going to the dump, and throwing away all the junk in our homes, and garages that are keeping everybody down, and slowing are daily activities.

No more fan mail, and no more junk. October 20th is the time to lose fat off our bodies, clean out the garage, and take a trip to the dump, and throw away our past. Our past is holding us down, and we need to have our communion with ourselves by taking all our junk to the dump, and throwing away our past, so one can be free. – As Ringo states: “Peace, and love.”
