Okay he's Ringo Starr and if he doesn't want to sign things anymore I can respect that. But that was just a bizzare and hilarious video.

Between that video and then Philadelphia Phillies player Matt Stairs saying this after game 4 last night in the NLCS:

"Not that I don't feel like I'm part of the team, but when you get that nice celebration coming in the dugout and you're getting your a$$ hammered by guys, there's no better feeling than to have that done."

It's been a great 24 hours for unintentional comedy.

A crochety-sounding Richard Starkey...

Poor guy. He's just having a geriatric fit, that's all. Maybe he's the creepy old man that got on Toy Story with our innocent tapdancemom....

Just a slight editing error, 'tis all. xoxo

was that when we decided to become parents?

Why didn't he just ignore everything. This makes him sound kind of jerky.

I don't think he cares. As the last surviving Beatle (since we all know Paul died in 1968), he can be as grouchy as he dang well pleases.

At least he's giving the fans a heads up that he won't be getting their stuff so they don't waste time and money on it. I bet a lot of superstars just put it in the big green file cabinet out back and don't tell anyone.

Sent him the CD liner notes from "Time Takes Time" along with photos I took of him (from the second row) at his first "All Starrs" concert at the Aladdin Theater for the Performing Arts, AND a self-addressed, stamped return envelope with cardboard protective inserts.

Made it very easy for him. Took a few months to make it back to me, but I have a lovely framed and matted piece of memorabilia now. I have autographs from all four of them, but Ringo's is the only one I arranged myself.

(John's is the coolest, though... Inside cover of a mint condition First Edition, British copy of "In His Own Write" and it has Brian Epstein's signature, too.

But he told us that It Don't Come Easy. Now I'm confused.

Wow. I've never been warned with peace & love before. It was kind of nice. I guess if you don't do as he said, he's going to love you that much more and be peaceable about it. Think how much nicer the world would be if we adopted the Ringo approach. The terrorist Threat Level would look like:

BLUE: Everything's cool. Chill, baby.
GREEN: Peaceful and cool, with a chance of chuckles.
YELLOW: Peace & Love Warning. Mellow yellow.
ORANGE: Everybody dance!
RED: We've gone way past love into total infatuation and grooviness!!!

okay - I am officially jealous now -- I have the other 3 but not my favorite Beatle...

I'm kind of upset by the Ringo thing..but I'm trying not to think about it a lot..however if heis still going to tour with his All Star band...then it is extemely htpocritcal - buy my $80 ticket,just don't ask me for anything else. I'd be able to live with it a lot more if he was retiring to a life of quiet
