What a delightful tale.

Indeed.

Funny... and sad! "Honest Ron" comes out of this as a TOTAL idiot and a wife abuser.
The kind of guy I wouldn't mind punching in the face.

No wonder Jagger wanted him out in 82 (during or after the Euro tour?)

During, check out the infamous Nick Kent article I unearthed last year : [www.iorr.org]

Ok so let's read that Jo thingy now!

She probably wanted to be a "Mum" to Ronnie - and in the end of that kind experience, every man get sick and tired of it and just wants to run away.

Wow, what a f****d up world Ronnie lives in...wonder if he's changed?

Don't remember seeing that picture, can't be from a Stones tour in 1992 though as claimed "Height of fame: Jo, Ronnie and a sleeping Keith Richards on a private jet during a Rolling Stones tour in 1992"

I don't like this way of kiss and tell.



Wasn't Jagger fed up with Ron in 2003 either? At least other options were considered.

Someone should write a book about Ron's playing with the Stones instead. One page probably.

For the last couple of years RW & MJ really are very good friends...

When Keith Richards phones your wife in panic and tells her to come ASAP to save you, you know you have a bad drug problem.

It's going to be a bad year for slick Mick : Lowenstein's book then Jo's memoirs...

Good, that will give him an incentive to put the Stones in the news for better reasons!

I wonder how many stints in rehab Ronnie did, anyone's kept track?

to be fair to woody we should hear his side of these tales

Not really interested in either side of the tale. Play that gee-tar, boy!

Who cares. Funny back in the day we wanted the Stones to behave like the bad boys
We hoped they be. Not like some sweet boy band.

Its only rock and roll....Plus Jo Wood knew what she was getting into as
Ronnie's 2nd wife....

At least there seem to be some substance in the book. Not a 90 % rehashed cut and paste job by your ghostwriter - like Keith's "book". Or most Rolling Stones' books.
It looks like she honestly has contributed to most of the material. I hope the book includes some self-critisism as well. Otherwise it will just be a biased account.

Well, it seems like Ronnie has really pulled his act together. It's pretty amazing when you think of how out of control he was. I give him a lot of credit and am very thankful he's been able to get healthy.

And the world keeps turning
And life goes on
The world keeps turning
May your heart stay strong.....

Nice job editor (see photo caption):

Whereas in reality you would probably approach him with caution and shyly ask for his autograph?

Mick wanted him out before 1981 tour started -

"Keith Richards (Life, 2010): Getting Ron Wood insured
Everybody had wanted Ronnie off the US tour in '81 - he was just getting too out of it - but I said, no, I'll guarantee him. That meant I personally guaranteed to insure the tour and promised that Ronnie would not be misbehaving. Anything to get the Stones on the road. I figured I could handle him."

July 2, 1981: The Rolling Stones shoot a video clip for Waiting on a Friend on the streets of Greenwich Village and at St. Marks Bar in New York City, where they also jam on the bar stage. They also hold a meeting to discuss the tour and tell Ron Wood he will have to curb his cocaine habit if he wants to join them.

Coke or not- I believe every man gets tired of the same woman over and over. It's human nature.

It's Only rock 'n' roll................none of this surprises me. Ronnie has led a crazy life. He seems to have rebounded quite well with his new bride. Do I feel bad fo Jo? In a way yes but she could have left years ago and so could Jerry Hall. They must like the lifestyle or really love these guys to put up this crap. In this regard Keith seems pretty grounded with Patti and Charlie with Shirley.

Imagine you have to deal with these people and perform with them on one stage in front of 50 000 audience

But let's just say Mick is no better...he just exercises more discretion and control, but they are all pigs at the trough.

JO LOOKS LIKE SHE WOULDNT MIND HAVING A TASTE OF KEITH

Nonsense story. She knew from the start what she was getting into.
She could have chosen that shy accountant at one of those parties, but she decided to go for the exciting life. Then don't complain afterwards it was a rocky ride.

Honestly, who can really tell from that picture anything other than Keith fell asleep in an awkward position? Were drugs/alcohol involved? Maybe,probably...but I remember reading Bill Wyman's account of how Keith could fall asleep anywhere, anytime back in the 60's when they were touring in Stu's old station wagon and that was before Keith was heavily into drugs. Some people are like that, we have some funny pictures of my son who can also fall asleep anywhere.

Ive seen a couple of interviews with woody talking about his split from jo and calling it a sense of freedom he hasnt had in years, which means jo was probably a big nag always up his ass all the time

Well, she must be completely annoyed that he's 'cleaned up' AFTER they split.
