Seriously, Ringo... calm the f down...

I mean, what's the big deal? It's fan mail -- not the paparazzi hounding your ass. Just ignore it if you don't wanna read it. Don't go jumping on the batshit insane soapbox. Take your gripe to Speaker's Corner, ya twit. If this is a warning with 'peace and love,' I'd hate to see what happens when you get really pissed. Yeeesh.

Former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has told fans to stop sending letters and requests for autographs, saying mail will be thrown away after October 20 because he has too much to do. Starr, 68, made the announcement in a video message titled "Sorry, No More Signing Stuff" posted on his official web site www.ringostarr.com.. Wearing sunglasses and flashing a peace sign, he says; "I want to tell you after the 20th of October please do not send fan mail to any address you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that is the date on the envelope, it's gonna be tossed. "I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. So no more fan mail. Thank you, thank you. And no objects to be signed. Nothing." He said; "This is a serious message to everybody watching my update right now. Peace and love. Peace and love." [reuters]

What a dick. And I say that as a lifelong major Beatles fan.
Someone should remind him that there are plenty of folks who always referred to him as the "no-talent" Beatle. He should be grateful and humble that people still give a shit about him.

come on guys, you're allowed to get away with saying anything so long as you follow it up with "peace and love".
