    I saw that comment from Ringo earlier this week, and I couldn't believe it. I mean, really, Ringo, you were a freaking BEATLE...only one of three living people who can make that claim. Why can't you just set aside a little bit of time every day to sign some autographs? Maybe just demand the caveat that people send self-addressed stamped envelopes for the return mailing or something.

    Oh, well. At least I still have my "Beatles Anthology 1" signed by Pete Best.
  • It goes to show you that senility must be kicking in. Look, if you're that put off by the mail, throw it away. But don't go on YouTube and say, paraphrasing, "Stop sending me mail, I will never read it, it's a waste of yours and my time and, oh, peace and love..."

    What, because he was a Beatle once he is above being nice to the fans? Old peace-signing jerk is what he is.
