Or, maybe, you're suggestion wasn't taken seriously as an entry because "Forever" isn't a cover for Ronnie, since he wrote it,
But, maybe I'm not understanding the rules of the competition as you described them...
Or, maybe...it's both! Maybe you did a really good cover of a Ronnie Wood song, and maybe he heard it and maybe he was already thinking about how he was going to re-record this song of his that you both like so much.
I mean, I would be thrilled to think that Ronnie listened to a recording I did of one of his songs,and even more thrilled to think that my version may have influenced his!
But, lemme get this straight, you're in a band that has released a cover of a Ronnie Wood album, and yet, you are inferring that HE is a douche? IT'S HIS @#$%& SONG, NOT YOURS!!
When Ronnie covers one of your originals, and doesn't give you credit for it, you'll have a point.
Until then, just be thankful. Seriously...

Among with some other bad press-reviews in the past few weeks (45-second Meet & Greet, expensive Fan-Packages etc.) my story seems to be just another piece in the puzzle how Ronnie is treating his fans nowadays!

Maybe your recording might have reminded him of the song, but after all it's his song, so not sure you are owed anything. I once asked Elvis Costello personally to play a song (very obscure one) that he had not planned on playing and was not in the setlist. That very night he played it as an encore and said "a guy asked me about this song today". He then put it in the setlist for the remainder of that tour and issued a limited-release live CD which contained that song. Should I be given any credit? Of course not. I was just thrilled to be part of it.

I met Ronnie in Seattle on the ABB tour. One of the nicest guys on the planet.

Stones Tod- alrighty then. Met Ronnie and Keith at the Olympic Fairmont Hotel in Seattle in 2006.Both could could have easily brushed me off but did not.They spent time speaking with me and were super cool.If you Google "Meeting Keith Richards Tonight in Seattle "you can read my October 2006 post on this web site. I think you will find it interesting.

StonesTod-I meet alot of a-holes in my profession and throughout my lifetime.You have a great point,but when two icons treat you like one of their pals, it is pretty cool and quite memorable.

I see BV took out my thread about the Stones thinking about talking about thinking.
