Starr "too busy" for his fans

Ringo Starr, known around the world as the drummer for The Beatles, has decided that he no longer has time for his fans. He’s put a video message on his website telling fans that any fan mail sent to him after October 20th will be thrown away, and no items will be signed after this date either. Starr described the video as, “a serious message to everybody watching” the BBC reports here.

I can’t tell you how much this annoys me. A reality check would do him no harm whatsoever. Starr needs to remember why he’s famous, and who makes him famous. You can guarantee though that, with the launch of his last album in January, he’s not too busy to cash the cheques that the record company keep sending him.
