The BIG Kahuna

Martin Bishop wrote a great article on Ringo Starr. Basically Ringo has told his fans to get lost? That’s right, he wants no more contact.

Here’s some of?what Ringo had to say:

“This is a serious message to everybody watching my update. Peace and love. Peace and love. I want to tell you after the 20th of October please do not send fan mail to any address you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that is the date on the envelope, it’s gonna be tossed. I’m warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. So no more fan mail. Thank you, thank you. And no objects to be signed. Nothing. Anyway, peace and love, peace and love.”

I guess if you just want things to end telling your fans to get lost will do the trick. Martin brings up the analogy that if your company decides to start using social media (blogs, networks etc.) you’d better be careful what you wish for.? Good idea.
