You would think he could afford a secretary/assistant.

“Please please me.. with no more mail, Ringo says.”

Geez...just when I was considering requesting an autograph after thinking, since the 60’s, he was “cutest” Beatle!

Where are his political comments? Recently those with inflated ego issues that size seem to have a lot to say about the election. How sad to have to resort to that kind of comment to get any press. It reminds me of Tina Feye threatening to leave earth. Sad, sad, emotional black holes of need seeking some significance in their otherwise barren lives.

I like Ringo, but one would think a person with his kind of money could arrange to have someone take care of his fan-mail.

On the other hand maybe he is the kind of person who — if he can’t answer his mail personally (or semi-personally)— would rather not have to answer his mail at all.

If the above true his request seems reasonable.
