Back in their hey day, the Beatles received a lot of fan mail. Now that only two are still alive, you can imagine how heavy the Liverpool postman’s satchel might be.

A few days ago, Ringo Starr released a video on his website asking fans to stop sending fan mail after October 20th. Starr will refuse to sign, or even open any fan letters postmarked after the 20th.

If you’ve seen the video, you will wonder how someone can clearly be so irritated while repeating the phrase “peace and love” so frequently? It’s a good thing Marge got hers in before the deadline.

I’m not sure this is fan stuff anymore. 2 Beatles are dead, he’s getting long in the tooth, I just kind of subscribe to the theory that people send him piles of stuff all the time to sign which will be worth twice as much when he bites it.
