I was all prepared to give this article five stars for his Mike truths, but before he gets to that, the author goes and disses the entire BB history by saying they were as edgy as a sippy cup. Brian pushed the boundaries of art and music with PET SOUNDS, and everyone from The Beatles on down worshiped at his feet for it. Same when "Good Vibrations" came out. And perhaps the author never heard any of the SMiLE stuff, even back on the first box set. That stuff was OUT THERE. And now you can hear all of it in its proper context. It was "edgy" as HELL. Even in the early 70s without Brian, they were a progressively great band. After that, they were a joke, I'll admit. But those days when Brother Brian was in command, he had all the "edge" he needed.Terabithia610https://www.blogger.com/profile/03448843957481904002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319871768110476457.post-69281773660581981452016-07-19T16:40:18.338-07:002016-07-19T16:40:18.338-07:00Sting and Bono are the two biggest poseurs in the ...Sting and Bono are the two biggest poseurs in the music industry.

I'd always thought he was a cool person, from his understated role with the Beatles to his work with children's programming on public TV, and I wanted to tell him so. I wanted to express my appreciation for the joy and excitement he generated "back in the day" and for the influence he and his pals had on my life. I simply wanted to say thanks while I still could. How you (and Starr?) manage to totally devalue and disrespect something like that is beyond me.

No matter how much you love the art someone makes, the emotional connection is with the art, the music made, not the person. You can only be emotionally connected to a person if you actually have a real life relationship with them. Otherwise, its just starf--king, an adoration with the fame as you do not really know the person.<br />Plus, any connection you think you have with the person is a one way street. They do not know or care about you, that does not mean they do not appreciate you spending money and loving their work but they are not able to have an emotional connection with someone they do not know.<br />As for fan mail, think about it, 7 billion people on the earth, if only one percent are fans and we know its probably higher, and then one percent of that one percent send fan mail that is 700,000 pieces of fan mail. Even in a lifetime that is almost impossible to keep up with.<br />And fan mail makes Ringo no money, its just a giant expense for him. And even if he commits to all that staff and the millions of dollars over his lifetime to keep up, there is no real personal experience for anyone, not for the fan, not for him.<br />No matter what anyone writes, 100 other people a day are basically writing the same thing, can I have an autograph, a picture, can I borrow money, I love you, I love your work, you changed my life, you saved my life, blah, blah, blah.<br />Everything that is written is really about the writer, not Ringo. Its nice but its like having sex with a beautiful model. If you get the chance once a year, its exciting, if Ringo got one letter a year it would be exciting for him, but if 1000 times a day beautiful models wanted to have sex with you, it would eventually get real annoying, you would want to have a life and to have something real, something real in real life. 1000 times a day is not about you, its about your fame, your name, what you did, not you as an actual person.<br />Basically all those letters would be like those models, they just want something from you.<br />Even if you want absolutely nothing from him, he no longer needs another human being that he does not know telling him how wonderful he is and what he means to them.<br />Ringo wants to have a life, let the man have a life, all that fan mail is just a silly waste of time for everyone involved.
