Back on October 13th, former Beatle drummer Ringo Starr issued a ‘serious message’ through a video on his site, saying that he was just ‘too busy’ for signing autographs and anything after the 20th of October would be thrown out.

Seems a wee bit silly to me. I mean, I understand it’s his own choice and all that, but A) surely this meant 10x more fanmail coming to him from die hard fans trying to get his auto before the deadline, and B) He’s 69, what’s he doing that requires so much attention? He banged some saucepans back in the 60s for the beatles, but didn’t Paul McCartney say….

Interviewer: So, is Ringo the best drummer in the world?

Paul McCartney: *laughs*. Lemme say this. Ringo ain’t the best drummer in the Beatles!

Hmm, says a bit, doesn’t it? But, again, he’s his own person. It’s his decision.
