Ringo Starr Is Officially Over Fan Mail and Autograph Requests
By Eliot Van Buskirk October 14, 2008 | 9:44:32 AMCategories: Legends
Underrated Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has finally had it with reams of fan mail and heaps of objects that are apparently still being sent to him to be signed, 45 years after the first signs of Beatlemania appeared in the population.
From the tone of the video uploaded to his site, it's a wonder he's been such a sport about it up until now, especially since some of that stuff is no doubt being sold on eBay by professional autograph seekers.
"This is a serious message to everybody watching my update right now," intones Starr in the short video. "Peace and love, peace and love. I want to tell you, please, after the 20th of October, do not send fan mail to any address that you have.
"Nothing will be signed... I'm warning you with peace and love, but I have too much to do, so no more fan mail, thank you, thank you, and no objects to be signed, nothing. Anyway, peace and love, peace and love."
You can officially forget about sending memorabilia for Ringo to sign, but that's not because he's severing ties with the outside world -- most likely, his signing hand is just finally cramping up. Starr is currently accepting entries for a photo contest, with the subject being his latest tour.
The winner will receive an autographed Ringo Starr drum head.

I love the Beatles. Grew up on 'em.
But present-day Ringo is just embarrassing to look at or listen to. His music sucks, he's a self-important douche, and every time he says "Peace and Love," I want to strangle him.

[bb1mobile]

I'm surprised he does it now.

It would never occur to me to mail anything
to someone and expect them to sign it
and return it.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Me either.

..Ringo had made a point of writing back or responding in some way to everyone who sent him fan mail. After 40 plus years, I'm sure he finally got tired of it, espeically the douches who sent him stuff only so they could sell it on E-Bay.

At least he made it public instead of just keeping quiet and throwing everything away.

Ringo??

The only thing I would send that twit is used condoms.

Figure that one out ya fuckin noodle.

[Big Dick Mcgee]

Perhaps he would like a box of dog shit.

[Glenn Dandy]

thats got to be annoying getting all that shit in your mail all those years... then to see it on ebay... I don't blame the guy one bit.

[Death Metal Moe]

Hey, deal with it douche bag.

[jsc315]

how about i send him a bag of shit. That about as much he has done for me and what his music is worth.

[Lambo]

send him a hat.







with puddin' in it.

[Absolutely]

I like when he says that he's just too busy or has too many things to do.
I can't imagine how many people actually think to themselves that they need Ringo's autograph. How many can he possibly be signing a day, 20?

And I Sooooooo wanted to get my copy of "Caveman" signed...

There was an early episode of The Simpsons that refers to this. Ringo finally wrote back to Marge 25 years later and actually hung the painting she made of him over the mantle in his house.

He beat his wife. That's all I need to know.
