I think it's rather presumptuous to post stuff to someone in the public eye and expect them to sign it, and post it back. Why on earth should he do that, because he played drums in the 1960's with a rather famous band??

...Although, as I said, I think it came across rather harshly.

I'm with Alexis and Cubanheel on this. Yes, Ringo needs a better publicist. His message, in tone and presentation, is entirely in keeping with my experience of Ringo being Ringo-- blunt, not sweet-talking (that's Paul's line)-- and it can come across negatively, which is why people keep chopping the head off his shrub and taking other revenge for their umbrage.

For my part, I'm inclined to say, Ringo is old, he's been very gracious about this all his life, and I thought it was sweet of him to warn his fans that he wouldn't sign any more stuff, so stop sending him stuff so it won't get tossed. Just because a person is known and admired does not mean they are at the fans' beck and call. It's a two-way street. If Ringo wants a break, I say, let him! He's earned it.

Peace and love.

Maybe he just wants to be Richard for a while ?

did you ever send anything to him to get signed? if not, dont complain. if yes, dont complain either.

The Dude · « **Reply #44 on:** October 17, 2008, 08:53:37 PM »

I Am The Paulrus has indeed been very eloquent, but I still stand by my opinion. It could have been handled better.

... although I may have been a bit harsh on the whole 'losing all respect for him' thing.

Is it my imagination or is the message in question missing from Ringo's website this evening? I'm not seeing it, but I may be having web issues.

I sent my letter to his London office months ago

Beatlemaniac64 · « **Reply #47 on:** October 18, 2008, 02:53:16 PM »

Alright, so which of these addresses is more likely to send something back, like an autograph? 'Cause I'm sending him a letter before noon today (kinda last minute, don't ya think?), and I asked if he could send back an autographed picture or something. So, for anyone who has sent him a letter and gotten something back, which one should I send to? Thanks!

Please tell me your joking? Have you read this thread?

Beatlemaniac64 · « **Reply #49 on:** October 18, 2008, 03:50:09 PM »

^Yes, I know what this thread is all about. I haven't read every inch of it, but I know what it's basically about. I know that Ringo said there was a deadline, but he also said that it was the 20th and that if you have something, send it now. So that's what I'm doing. I just thought I'd come on here and ask anyone if they know which address is more likely to send something back, like maybe if they sent something months or years ago. Yeah, it's unlikely I'll get something, but it's worth a try. Is that what you're trying to say, or what? So what's wrong with what I said?

An Apple Beatle · « **Reply #50 on:** October 18, 2008, 03:58:38 PM »

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be hectic. Seems Ringo, the poor soul is desperate for a break from it all but if you can reach him before the deadline (I forgot about the deadline being the 20th) then it's me who mis-read the situation. Peace & Love.

Beatlemaniac64 · « **Reply #51 on:** October 18, 2008, 06:15:13 PM »

^Hey, that's alright! No harm done, man! I was also probably reacting to what you said too much. So I'm sorry about that. Peace

Freakchic....That girl in the video needs professional help.

Canadianstudmuffin...you got too much time on your hands

freakchic9 · « **Reply #54 on:** October 21, 2008, 12:50:29 AM »

^I swear that is not me in the video.
I just found it and I felt that I should share it with you.
And if you don't trust me, ask FNU. I showed her the video.

The Dude · « **Reply #55 on:** October 21, 2008, 05:46:05 PM »

I can vouch for Freakchic on this one. She's left a comment for the video but it ain't her.

freakchic9 · « **Reply #56 on:** October 21, 2008, 09:48:14 PM »

Thank you, Dude!

HeatherBoo · « **Reply #57 on:** October 22, 2008, 01:54:22 AM »

I didn't think it was you, I knew you were just posting it so that we can see what a weirdo that girl was

The Dude · « **Reply #58 on:** October 23, 2008, 06:05:51 AM »

LOL!

My take on everything is....did he really need to have all that publicity on being a grumpy old man....why not keep the legend intact for all time of fun loving Ringo...before he had to say all those things about Liverpool and now this.....tut tut...

I hope the reason is only that he is sick of all the mail and not that he is ill or something though....

Bring back nice ringo! :-)
