a little Ringo story.
I had the pleasure of getting back stage for a Ringo show. What a funny guy. Colin took me over to say hello. As I approached Ringo pointed at me and shouted "Who's that guy? Is he authorized?" He motioned me over and proceeded to ask me some of the most bizarre questions, to make sure I was ok to be there. He had everyone, including me, in stitches. After the joke was up, we chatted for a good five minutes or so, before his tour manager pulled him away for someone else.
Since I'm not an 'autograph-guy', he was quite taken aback when I didn't ask for one. I was also empty handed, not carrying anything worth autographing. He grabbed a sharpee and signed my arm then demanded my other arm and did the same in large Ringo style... in case I lost one of them.

Let me clarify what I previously wrote. I do not feel that Brian is obligated to sign anything, nor do I disagree with his statement that it is wasting his time. I do feel, however, that Brian should simply keep that opinion to himself - because of this reason: Over the course of many years, Brian has met with many fans, signed things for many fans and taken pictures with many fans. He is just now getting around to telling us that we have, in essence, wasted his time. As I said, Brian has now said that what was one of the most exciting times in my life, to me (meeting him) was a waste of his time, because I asked him to sign my Queen II album sleeve. Ok. Whatever. I can accept that.
Here's the thing - he's a fucking celebrity... What does he expect? Is it common protocol to venture up to a celebrity, make eye contact and exchange warm words of kindness? No! Common protocol is that fans ask for an autograph or a picture to be had.

You think nothing of treating us to your long-winded, mean-spirited rants, but someone else should "shut up" and "keep their thoughts to themselves"?
What a sad little dick you are.

My post was not mean-spirited, in the least. Long winded? If you consider something a bit longer than two paragraphs long winded.
Your "sad little dick" comment was inappropriate.
