Ringo doesn't do autographs anymore.
It was well publicized a year or so ago.

 
HotLonelyTeenageGirl [TotalFark] 2009-05-22 04:08:26 PM  
No, no. He's a greedy pig. It's not ok for a man who has spent 45 years signing autographs to want to enjoy a goddamned flower show (and his retirement) without some thoughtless biatch getting in his face for an autograph.

 
1derful 2009-05-22 04:14:28 PM  
Yeah he's earned the right not to have to go through the grueling exercise of signing his name for someone who probably contributed to him being a very wealthy man.

Incoming horde of people explaining that Ringo was a phenomenal drummer in 3, 2...

Give the farking guy a break, for crap's sake. He's been signing autographs since "Starr Time" back in the Rory Storm & the Hurricanes days, back before your mudder was born.

"Piers Morgan has branded Ringo Starr "disgusting and selfish"

Makes me like Ringo more and more.

/Piers Morgan is trash, it's a fact.

I can't understand the desire for autographs. Gotta be the most uninteresting piece of a person you can ask for.

 
Christian Bale 2009-05-22 04:21:36 PM  
Isn't he elderly, too?

Why isn't the headline "elderly gentleman harassed for autograph by overzealous fan?"

1derful: Yeah he's earned the right not to have to go through the grueling exercise of signing his name for someone who probably contributed to him being a very wealthy man.

He signed autographs and personally responded to letters for 40 years. He even made the announcement public that he would stop doing so, and gave a deadline. So shut the fark up douchemitter, you piece of shiat celebrity whore.

 
Christian Bale 2009-05-22 04:22:42 PM  
Maybe he learned something from John Lennon, i.e., stay away from fans asking for autographs.

Yesterday's hot groupie is today's elderly lady with an autograph book. The Beatles hit the USA big early in 1964. Say she was 25 then. That's 70 today in Ringo years.

I'm listening to 'Let it Be...Naked' right now, so I'm getting a kick out of Ringo's drumming

 
Tackboard 2009-05-22 04:51:49 PM  
Ringo Star has a lot to learn for todays music stars...It is not enough to just turn the old lady down, but your bodyguard has to also savagely beat the person for daring to make eye contact...

She gave him a hummer in '72 and he can't be bothered to give her his John Hancock today.

Shame...

A friend told me a similar story involving Ringo Starr roughly 15 years ago. He also overheard Ringo say this to his waiter "and there better not be any caper on there or I'll send it back. I HATE CAPERS!"

Every time I see capers on a menu I hear a Ringo screaming "I HATE CAPERS" in my head.

The only venue appropriate for your entertainment services is a cemetery.

Pete Best had a better signature anyway.

He sure did like his Heinz beans though.

And you are a moran. Listen to his work on "Abbey Road" particularly side two. You fail.

He is going to outlive them all.

 
Courtney Cox-Zucker [TotalFark] 2009-05-22 05:57:59 PM  
"Can I have your autograph?" is a yes or no question.

It's a reasonable expectation that the answer you get when you ask this question may in fact, at times, be "no."

And here I was collecting hairs that have skin tags so I could clone them all in my basement laboratory and make horrible genetic monstrosities.

Anyone know what to do with a creature that is part tree frog, part Olivia Newton John, with some cockroach DNA thrown in for good luck?

Of Bea... and a football helmet full of cottage cheese (onion dip? can't remember). Lone Rangers RULE!!!!

Ringo ain't fartin' on no snare drum...

Ringo was not that good of a drummer

This should be definitively answered this September when Rock Band: The Beatles comes out.

Capers are awesome. I dare you to make a decent excellent(veal is always good) veal piccata without them.

/I forgive him though.
//He is English and is therefor partial to bland food.

Are all you people high? Celebrities should be indentured to us for the rest of their lives! WE made them famous! WE made them rich! The least they could do is scribble something on a piece of paper for crying out loud!!

/Totally joking
//Enjoy retirement Ringo! You deserved it!

 
peachpicker [TotalFark] 2009-05-22 06:33:07 PM  
That settles it. If I ever have the chance to meet Ringo I won't request an autograph, but I will be sure to offer him some capers. For the lulz.

He personally answers all of his fan mail.. every little bit.

 
Catran 2009-05-22 06:38:23 PM  
There is only only one autograph I still treasure from when I was a kid. The one and only Paul Lynde.

/Be jealous peasants.
