Ringo Starr - No More Fan Mail

Get over it.

I saw that, too, on tv last night. I thought it was fine. I think he was telling people not to waste their time as he's not into it anymore. It's better than not knowing he's just throwing it out. And why should he have to throw it out, anyway? I think I'd be sick of it, too.

I dunno, I thought it was a funny announcement. I've always loved that guy but I've never written him (or anyone else) a fan letter

From your link:

"But he has angered longtime fans in Liverpool by telling interviewers that he does not miss his native city. Vandals there beheaded a topiary sculpture of Starr earlier this year " he was the only one of the four Beatles whose likeness was desecrated."

People are so stupid. To behead a statue because he said he didn't miss his city??? How asinine. People! Why do they care?

I guess in the end it is better to let them know so they do not waste their time. After that many years of writing fans back I think I would be over it as well. I just thought it was funny he made the announcement. To be honest - I could never understand why anyone would write fan mail anyway - because I was pretty darn sure most celebrities never read all the letters. How could they?

I think Ringo is great - I certainly don't blame him. I just wonder what his radical followers think of this?

Ringo's message

I don't think Ringo ever took himself seriously.

The late comedian Bill Hicks remarked, "The Beatles were so stoned on drugs that they even let Ringo sing a few songs."

was this Ringo Starr fella famous?

WHO IS RINGO STARR ??????

I asked a few kids in Liverpool,

"Never heard of him" They all said.

Alehouse

paul McC will straighten him out...

He looks damn good for 68....so he's retiring.... we all do eventually .... and he's not even retiring... he is directing his understanably waning energies to the things most important to him... he's prioritizing....

I'm surprised he still gets fan mail. Truth be told, I didn't realize he was still alive.

I always wonder at those who seem to have so little appreciation for those who made them rich and famous, however. In time the mail would have trickled down to nothing anyway, but I bet Ringo has a staffer or two who could have scanned the incoming mail and responded, as appropriate, with the standard form letter. I can't believe he is overwhelmed with fan mail at this stage of his career. In his twilight years, I would think it would even be pleasant to receive a letter from an old fan who still remembers him fondly.

But oh well.

He never stopped touring, he's taking the All Starr Band on their 10th Nth American tour. These run to about 30+ concerts a tour.... a rock'n'roller through and through.

..and let's not forget his brief tenure as Pope Ringo I.

Hang on!!! Who's mucking wiv Ringo's skins!!!

He's done enough for the world. Answering so much mail must be pretty burdensome. I have no problem with his statement.

I don't answer fan mail. Why should he?

Maybe this is reversed psychology he's using now in order to be noticed
again.

I too, no longer accept fan mail.

I thought you're already on your way to San Diego with your camper, dys?
