Sorry, I'm too famous to bother with fan mail and autographs....

[Plotloss]

Seems fair enough to me.

He is one of the most famous men alive, why would anyone expect him to have spare time?

[cottonfoo]

Because his fans made him who he is?

And they deserve thanking personally for that?

Buying an album is a contract, you pay money and recieve the right to play the record in return, outside of that, all bets are off.

[Fezant Pluckah]

I dunno, but he was, is, and shall always remain a crap drummer

[Parrot of Doom]

He's been doing it for 50 years, and is obviously fed up.

I can't say I blame him. His fame wasn't a one-way deal, their music is wonderful.

Because perhaps he should remember the people that made him famous?

Personally, I think the Beatles are ste, but I appear to be in the minority

[Mc Lovin]

with a name like Ringo Starr do you really need to ask if he's an arse or not

fair play to be direct about it. he seems to answer a lot personally and must have been doing this for 40yrs now.

much better to say 'enough' than to throw it in the bin or employ someone to answer it for him which would also be a con.

ringo can do no wrong in my eyes after thomas.

[stuttgartmetal]

He's got soo much else to do Im sure.

Oh, and we don't all live in a yellow fookin sub-ma-fooking-marine, okay

[lazyitus]

I think he's odd. Affected by fame at an early age. Or, 'up his own arse' in other words.

His hate for Liverpool is well documented too.

Weirdo.

AND he sounds like Thomas the Tank Engine in interviews.

Yes. Without them he'd be another homeless musician. They're only asking for a signature, not a letter saying thanks. He could at least get people to do the signing for him like a lot of people do. Making such a big point of it is a slap to the face to a lot of fans (I would imagine, I'm not one of them)

He's an arse.

[crofty1984]

Dunno, Half and half for being brutally honest I think.

[shirt]

he never said he hated liverpool, just that there's nothing he misses about the place. i can see his point compared to what his lifestyle is now compared to then.

choo choo!

He's an arse.

And why do they want a signature?

To hold and keep, a memento of their idol?

Or eBay, in case he dies?

Hmmmn?

[Mc Lovin]

He says he has things to do, yet he's pictured doing some light gardening....

No idea, never really been into the signature thing.

[Baby Huey]

Of course he's an arse, he was in The Beatles.

Have you ever heard 'Rain'? I don't think so.

Which bit of the Beatles stuff is ste? The early hits? The live performances? The albums? The films? Which of the 213 songs didn't grab your attention? Macca's songs? Lennon's songs? Harrison's songs? The hairstyles? The clothes?

Do you like Oasis?
