He doesn't owe anyone anything, especially an autograph.

Who are autograph seekers? They are either pitiful loosers who don't have a life and think that getting someone famous to sign their name will somehow make the looser feel important in some psycho-tarded way, or they are leeches who just want to get a famous person's signature so they can pimp it and get a few bucks.
Either way they are total loosers. (Yes, I know it's not spelled that way. It's a running joke. )

I've met famous people over the years as have you, I treated them with respect and appropriate behavior I would extend any stranger who wasn't a tool. They didn't owe me anything and I had no right to interject myself into their life.
A casual but reserved nod, maybe a subdued hello, and if invited a compliment and a thank you, something like "I've enjoyed your work. Thanks" and leave it at that. I do not believe in acting like a leech or parasite.

In most cases the result was pleasant, and in one case we became friends and had a very long conversation over many beers.

Disagree, his fans are what made him, I find it funny that while he is telling people not to send him mail, he keeps saying peace:rolleyes:



That being said, I too have met and spend time with a lot of famous people,, and know where you are coming from, but there is a price for being famous... I remember years ago, at the Hooters across from the track in Daytona, during the Rolex, a waitress pulled out a pen to give me her phone number on a menue so we could get together later, Derek & Justin Bell were sitting at the next table, thinking I was wanting his autograph, grabbed the menu & pen and preceded to sign it, I thanked him but pointed out that she was the one who I wanted to sign it..

I'm with Sammy, for once. He's a musician, he sells records. Anything beyond that is up to him.

Face it, most memorabilia is collected these days as a vehicle to make a buck. Otherwise, when someone tired of owing something that had been autographed, they'd just give it away. Which never happens...

Ringo Starr is around 70 years old. And he's busy.
He has probably realized that he will never get through the massive backlog of unopened mail he already has.

At least Ringo gave notice and a reason why.

Ringo is still cool.

Why bother? Seems like he would have generated 10x the mail with that silly announcement. What year was that anyway?

+ a million, Sammy. I feel the same way about baseball cards and comic books. What a bunch of tools.
