Ringo Starr Is All About Peace and Love and Scolding You and Peace and Love, Peace, Love and Peace. And Love.

Turn off Thomas The Tank Engine right now. I know, I know, it's a really good episode, but if you keep watching, you're just going to continue writing Ringo Starr one letter of adoration after the other, and he has had enough!

With "peace and love," and a grumpiness that makes Johnny Rotten look about as threatening as James Taylor, former Beatle and official Old Curmudgeon Ringo Starr "warns" fans to stop sending him fan mail. He's got "too much to do," and anything postmarked past October 20th will get "tossed."

With this video post, Ringo just lost at least half of his fan base, now leaving both the dude in the Philippines and the weird teenage Sri Lankan twins to sit, pens clutched in sweaty-palmed fists, and try with all their might to resist writing love letters to their favorite Beatle.

Alright, listen. Richard Starky (Ringo Starr, for those of you who only think of him as a show monkey) is completely entitled to ask for a break. He's hardly had a moment to himself since 1964. Do you think you'd want to fritter away your life answering mail and signing autographs for people who are more than likely to just turn around and sell them for profit? If you think all autograph seekers are loving fans, you're wrong. John Lennon was shot and killed by man for whom he had autographed an album earlier that same day. And where do you get off calling him an "Old Curmudgeon"? He's done more than you ever will. The man is a Beatle, for Christ's sake. Show some respect.
