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.

31. I have loved Ringo since I was a little kid - he was always my favorite Beatle. Well, now that I have seen this, I think he is a pompous arse. The ego this man must have. I wouldn't send him anything if someone payed me. I hope he never receives another piece of fan mail again in his life and then see how he feels. Geesh. Peace and love, yeah right. Me thinks he needs a laxative perhaps?

32. Considering the international financial crisis - global warming famine the two wars etc
I feel that fan mail is quite irrelevant.

33. I always hated the Beatles anyway...very, very overrated.

34. The remanding Beatles, Elton John, and all other old rockers... they're getting bitter in their old age.

35. I never wrote to Ringo, not once! I used to send fan mail to John Lennon eons ago, Ringo was very lucky to have been with The Beatles because he's not the world's greatest drummer to begin with.

The old guy needs to lighten up.

36. Oh well, memorabilia is probably overrated anyway.

37. OK old man, my Dad just told me you were one of the Beatles.  I grew up on your records, and I must  say, I always thought you were the least talented  and most unattracteive of the bunch.  No worries  - I'll never ask for your autograph nor buy your products.  You have become......obsolete.

38. Wow, that is really sad. I understand that there are some people that may go too far with fan mail, but there are a lot of decent people who are true fans that take time out of their busy day to write him and send him their gratitude. What a shame he can't do the same! He is an amazing artist, but it is so disappointing to hear this.

39. He has always been a obnoxious bastard! As well as the least talented of the four.

40. Ringo you have lost the plot,You were on Richard and Judy show awile ago my thought then BIG EGO, Then on Jonathon Ross
TV Show you were not nice at all about Liverpool.Also Im all for peace and love but Mr it get's a bit tedious seeing you saying it all the time with the peace sign aloft.Seems to me you have too many people around you kissing ar*".
Get real Mr remember were you came from,by the way im a huge Beatles fan and I have all your solo work but you have done yourself no favours at all.If you are so fed up with it all stop making records and gigging and go back to your own overgrown ego world Peace and Love to you indeed.

41. What a JERK. You are a star, sign stuff. It's part of your job. You wont sign stuff for fans but you will cash your fans checks? right?

42. Why did he have to hit us over the head with it? Just cause people send him stuff does not obligate him to sign it. He could just pretend not to see it and we'd have never known the difference. Great way to be a douchebag.

43. I loved Ringo in the beginning and I love Ringo now. The silly fickle so called fans who cannot understand when someone has a bad day or week or month are no better than Ringo. WoW..give the man a break. I realize some of you people (not from the 60's generation) have no clue but simply want to jump on the shall I say "band wagon" and say something ugly just cause someone else does. There's so many more important things you dense people should be making fools of yourselves over than worrying about when a rock legend has a much deserved melt down. As far as Paul being the cutest, BAH, have you looked at pic of him over the last 10 years? One more thing, "Make Love Not War." LOL.

44. How crass.

Perhaps he would rather be working on Bootle Docks, than living the life of a millionaire SOLELY because of the money he has made off the fans he now chooses to ignore.

I dont care if he has been "putting up" with autograph requests for 40-50 years - he chose the occupation and was lucky enough to be with a successful band - he should be damn grateful that his loyal fans have stuck by him.

He has always been the Beatle with the least talent - he has know proven that he is also the Beatle with the least class
