go, Ronnie Go!
Their were witnesses who saw him do this on the street. Not just tabloid specualation. Plus he wouldn't have been Cautioned if it was just tabloid speculation.Quote

who said woody "beat up" anyone? i have yet to see anything in photos to indicate this. tabloid B.S. and pure speculation at best. don't believe everyone you hear or read in a stupid tabloid.
goodbye electrina, you are just another moonlight mile on down the road. have mom fix you a big bowl of borscht and search the classified ads for a house and a legit job. will you be listing Woody as your previous employer on your job application?. remember, having an 18 month gap in employment is a red flag to any prospective employer.

Got to love many people on this board---They are the judge and jury all in one..Ronnie is so quickly judged being guilty without any proof.
It reminds me of the older people who made fun of the Stones when they 1st came out or what a lot of older generation had to say about many of the kids from the 60's just for how they looked or acted..Wow how fast have we turned the clocks back to the victorian times!!

Actually, technically a caution is a conviction (because you have to admit the offence in order for the police to caution rather than charge).

What about presumption of innocence ? Did "she "file charges ?

Didn't someone point out that being "cautioned" requires admission of guilt?
Perhaps there is some official record that can be found online that states what Ronnie admitted to.

Personally, I find all this "go Ronnie go" sentiment rather depressing. Let's get him to rehab one more time! Who cares if he knocked around a woman? Who cares if he drinks himself to death, as long as it's after the tour! Just do whatever it takes to prop him up onstage for two hours so he can do whatever exactly he does one more time and we can get our little Rolling Stones fix. Throw the money around, grease the wheels, get the lawyers, doctors, insurance people and promoters all on the same page, so we can have one last tour with the great Ronnie Wood. Has it occurred to us that maybe it's in his personal best interest NOT to tour? It's not like we're getting the Rolling Stones of 30 - or even 10 - years ago, so why the urgency?
Sorry to rain on anyone's parade. I love the Stones as much as anyone here, but I find some of this "tour with Ronnie at any cost" stuff a bit much to take.

What a difference 42 years makes, eh? Used to be a Rolling Stone would do jail time for having a few prescription pills in his pocket. Now a Stone can smack a girl around and all they do is tell him "Hey! Ronnie! Knock off the rough stuff, okay? Nobody thinks you're funny! Next time you're gonna be in trouble!"

Denial is a lot wider than the river in africa. He picked up a whore and then he got mad b/c she was carrying on with a boy friend on the side. He tried to put a cigarette out in her face and dragged her 20 feet ACCORDING TO WITNESSES.
ALCOHOL brings the @#$%& out. The facts is the facts.

There seems to be a prevailing opinion that getting Ronnie on the road will straighten him out and get him healthier. That is untrue. Anyone who is on the road or has been on the road can tell you how it is one of the most exhausting things you can ever go through, no matter how many creature comforts you can afford.
And it would greatly increase the likelihood of substance abuse, not decrease it. The last thing Ronnie Wood needs right now is a world tour.

But for someone like Ronnie, NOT touring is even worse, and getting thrown out of the band would mean certain death.

That's because he's carrying on as if life were one long tour.
The problem with Ronnie is it doesn't matter if he's touring or not. He just can't battle his demons. But I do think that if he were on tour,it might help keep him under control a bit. At least have some structure and people looking after him. Right now he has no self control and is his own worst enemy.Quote

For someone like Ronnie, life can only be one of two things. It can be one long tour, or it can be one long vacation. I don't know about you, but I can get myself into ALL KINDS of trouble if I have even a few DAYS off from work!
