Ronnie: "We had a great meeting..."

Sorry. The moral of this story is: don't post when you've just read an article in a hurry. The old headline reflected exactly what I THOUGHT I read. Next time I'll watch out for those sneaky full stops.

Headline changed to a more accurate version.

[www.birminghammail.net]

Guitar hero Ronnie Wood in Birmingham to show off paintings

ROCK legend Ronnie Wood paid a whistle-stop visit to Birmingham to publicise his paintings – and said the Stones owed their fans a reunion tour.

The guitarist, a highly talented artist whose paintings routinely sell from around £800 upwards, was at the city’s Washington Green Fine Art offices to launch his latest work, including on stage reproductions of the Stones in concert.

Next year marks the 50th anniversary of their first concert and he told the Mail: “It does make you feel like playing; I miss playing with the boys... Charlie is cracking away on the continent with his jazz band, Keith is making his record in New York, Mick is like, forever, getting into different musical... we are not getting any younger.”

The Stone, now 64, said the band were looking forward to next year’s anniversary – and dismissed suggestions of a permanent rift between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

He said: “We are all looking forward to it; we do not know what it is. I said to them we owe it to ourselves and the people to do something. We are just... whatever, we will find a way.

“I wish I could say. We had a great meeting the other week and we all got on great.”

He described himself as the “diplomat” of the band. “You will have to ask the two brothers (Jagger and Richards) – they are like family.”

Green Lady, your subject headline implies something different than what the quote in the article says..
you should probably change it and make it more accurate.

Your thread title is a bit misleading.I mean it COMPLETELY changes the meaning to go from "I wish I could say. We had a great meeting...." to "I wish I could say we had a great meeting..."

I agree, was a bit confuddled there...

I think the title of your post is misleading. The newspaper article shows a fullstop after "I wish I could say." (which sounds like the reply to a question he was asked). That little dot makes a huge difference to the meaning!

After all that serveral topics about Mick and Keith's current relationship, a possible new tour or a new record, I believe that's all over now.
They're in ages where they don't have to prove anything to anything else. They made an incredible contribution to the music business during half a century,but in their ages, they surely see the things from another persepective!

Hopefully, yes. but you never know on IORR. eye rolling smiley

reading the misleading headline only, had me shocked for a moment but reading the whole thing, it feels pretty good.

>>The Stone, now 64, said the band were looking forward to next year’s anniversary – and dismissed suggestions of a permanent rift between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

He said: “We are all looking forward to it; we do not know what it is. I said to them we owe it to ourselves and the people to do something. We are just... whatever, we will find a way.

I wish I could say Anyway, We had a great meeting the other week and we all got on great.”

I agree! I would much rather see KR play small theatres than hear Miss You for the 100th time at some 70k seat stadium.

I do know KR was recording in NYC with Steve Jordan last week.

Two things:

The Stone, now 64, said the band were looking forward to next year’s anniversary – and dismissed suggestions of a permanent rift between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

He said: “We are all looking forward to it; we do not know what it is. I said to them we owe it to ourselves and the people to do something. We are just... whatever, we will find a way.


And secondly - a Winos record! Oh, Massey Hall here I come!!smiling bouncing smiley

In the video he says - "anyway" and not "I wish I could say".

You need to shuffle the words of the headline, to something like ...."We wish we could all go on great, so I meet the other week with something to say" - or what was it again...?

I think Green Lady did it intentionally. The meeting has not led to any results - Richards is making his album, which eliminates the possibility of recording a new album for Stones. Mick - I do not know what he would do, he may take up some movie projects.
So - "I wish I could say we had a great meeting" - seems to me a very precise definition

Except for the fact that he actually said "Anyway we had a great meeting". Let's get the facts right before you start speculating on meaning.

I agree, but i hope that new Keef songs aren't like "Losing my touch" or "Infamy".

Hmmm didn't know they broke up as a working band, not that I would expect them to announce they were no longer a working band

Yes PM, you mentioned you were the 'journalist' or near journalist, in another thread. I don't think it appropriate to rewrite what someone said, and then report it as though they were actually be quoted. That is deceitful.

The subject line on this post is deceiving the reader, as it is written differently than Ron Wood has said it, and it clearly has the OPPOSITE meaning as Ron Wood had intended.

It is not a correct quote, however. That's not what was said.

Is there anything wrong with your ears or your eyes? Listen to Ronnie in the video.
Ronnie said: "Anyway, we had a great meeting".

Green Lady did not do it intentionally. Cockup, not conspiracy.

Conspiracy? I just assumed that you were ironic - a wordplay and all that. Sorry, did not want to offend you.
