“Where are his political comments? Recently those with inflated ego issues that size seem to have a lot to say about the election.”

You really are searching for anything negative. There is none. You’re asking for political comments and for his comments about WHAT election?

Oh please.....

You said, “How sad to have to resort to that kind of comment to get any press.”

He made this comment on his website. The media picked it up and reported it.

It is great that we can both have opinions without insulting each other.
My comment regarding the election, if you read it, was sarcasm toward those with ego issues. And I don’t have to “search” to find that most with hyper-inflated ego issues have comments about the election. Sorry I didn’t put */s* as I was not really looking for HIS comments.
I do think it hyper-inflated ego to ask fans not to write. But that is my opinion. I simply find it hard to believe that Ringo gets that much mail. Just throw the letters out and let the fans feels good.
And I stand by the fact that it got him press and I haven’t heard about him years.

[P.O.E.]

Saw Pete at a Beatlefest (back in the 90’s, maybe?). He was actually a pretty down-to-earth guy. Who can say how the Beatles would have evolved.

On the other hand, I happen to be one of those who actually like Ringo’s drumming.

Now Yoko we could have all done without.

My opinion is that they still have many fans. In fact, I was just invited to a “Cruise With the Beatles,” which was fun. Disc jockey playing all Beatle’s music...

It took place in Philadelphia last month.

Apparently, this disc jockey in Philly does this once a month to a sold out cruise on the Delaware. In the meantime, he devotes every Sunday morning to playing only Beatle’s music. Very popular, I hear.

Andre Gardner. Nice guy, responds to email, but should be playing Petes new cd.He’s an ex Beatle and it’s a really good cd.

[nclaurel]

It is good we can both have opinions. I am not insulting yours and will assume you aren’t mine either.

“...because he has too much to do.”

Jerry to Kramer: What do you do?

[Arthur McGowan]

Fortunately, Marge Simpson got her answer from Ringo before this deadline.

I didn’t follow the Beatles, but I liked their music. I didn’t know about Pete Best. I just read about him on Wikipedia...very interesting! Thanks!

“It is good we can both have opinions.”

Absolutely, FRiend!

By the way...welcome to FR!

[nclaurel]

Thanks! I have read over a shoulder for 8 years but wanted to “do it myself”
