“Former Beatle Ringo Starr has posted a bizarre video of “peace and love” on his website saying he has had enough of fan mail and people seeking autographs. The Fab Four drummer’s 44-second rant pleaded for fans to leave him alone and said he doesn’t have time to sort through his mail box anymore. “This is a serious message. I want to tell you please, after the 20th of October do not send fan mail to any address you have. Nothing will be signed. If that has a date on the envelope it’s gonna be tossed, I’m warning you with peace and love,” he said in the video titled Sorry, No More Signing Stuff.” via hecklerspray

Ringo Starr is officially my favourite Beatle and the perfect person to kick off the dinner party. Yes sir, in the early years of my life I loved Paul a bit, then Ringo, then when George died I adored him. But really now Ringo has taken pride of place in my heart. Peace and love, Peace and love,in this film it is the Beatle version of a Christian taking you aside to criticise you with “I’m saying this in love…….”. Ha!!

Why I adore him:

His straight talking meant that even when the band split he remained friends with all the Beatles whilst they huffed and puffed with each other.

Lennon said he was ‘underappreciated soul of the group’ and everyone loves an underdog.

I bet he could tell  you some stories once he gets going. He seems to have turned into one of those grumpy old men who don’t want to, but cant stop themselves from boasting about their younger years. Just don’t ask him to sign anything!

Ringo: I love him. Especially his poems.

Press: Why is it that you, Ringo, get more fanmail than the others?

America: It’s like Britain, only with buttons.
