What a loser. I hope he comes to his senses and realizes what a dumb move this is. Even though I understand why he might not want to sign autographs anymore, couldn't he have just said it nicely to the people who got him to where he is? Or, heaven forbid, couldn't he have spent some of the millions his fans have given him and hired someone to take care of his fan mail? I mean, how much mail can there really be? Ringo hasn't been relevant in years. As a long-time and loyal Beatles fan (and someone who actually went to a Ringo concert), I'm very disappointed. I won't be giving Ringo any more money or attention after this. I only hope he has the decency to take down his c**ppy merchandise from his website after pulling this stunt.

U2 has been Famous for 28 years and they all get along fine. These guys could not hold it together for 7 or 8 years without fighting. That has to tell you something about their personality's right there. That whole Passive aggressive Peace Love - S**T he is doin in the video. I was lookin at the website. He has a contest goin he wants everyone to send him in pictures of his band that they have taken. He won't throw them out , he needs them. He can use them to make money. F**ckin guy will sell you a shirt that will fall apart after you wash it once at his concert for 30 bucks, but don't write to him tellin him you Love his music, He is too busy. (Spendin your Money)

Ungrateful twit! Why does he think he has "too much to do" ?? Isn't it to satisfy his fans? Ya know, the people he just alienated? Ringo's solo stuff is crap, his only claim to fame is the Beatles... I say we grant his wish, don't send him ANYTHING...not even money for his 'music' and other merchandise!

BOYCOTT RINGO!WHAT AN UNGRATEFUL CURMUDGEON!!! APPARENTLY HE HAS FORGOTTEN WHO WERE THE ONES WHO HELPED PAID FOR HIS MULTIPLE HOMES - AS WELL AS TO SUSTAIN HIS CAREER. IF HE IS SO WEALTHY, WHY CAN'T HE HIRE HELP TO ASSIST HIM WITH HIS FAN MAILS? HE SHOULD BE SO LUCKY THAT ANYONE EVEN WANTED HIS AUTOGRAPH! THE LEAST HE COULD DO IS ASK FOR ITEMS AND STUFF TO BE DONATED TO CHARITIES.
