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"

New Barbarians tour 1979?

They look a little too old...

Yeah, probably checking out the latest "stuff" so he can banter about it when he next meets/chats with his "woman" David Bowie.

Cheers,
SonicD

Keith is only taking a nap. As picture indicates the other drink involved is by the woman, whom is is not fully seen holding a Cosmopolitan Magazine.

Jagger? LOL

Jerry has gone on at length about Mick's infidelity ("4000 women in 20 years"), his cheapness, his dishonesty, how much he has hurt her; she also came to his defense in Todgergate. A dignified silence regarding the father of her four children would have been more appropriate. I do not recall Mick ever saying anything about her, except perhaps obliquely in his lyrics, eg Party Doll.

i found this about her book:
[www.guardian.co.uk]

but it does seem she gave back advance money after writing (no ghostwriter?) and not delivering dirt on Jagger the editors wanted. so that's admirable, isn't it? I mean she's honorable but she maybe shouldn't have said anything..

Bliss is right. Jerry has been selling her story with Mick since 1978. I remember when Tall Tales came out and she suggested that Mick was not happy about her writing a book, but got over it.
I suspect her giving back the advance money may have had more to do with Mick putting pressure on her to do so....Why would she suddenly adopt a philosophy of discretion when it comes to dishing the dirt? She made a big deal about how she 'gave all the money back because they wanted me to be write about private things and I refused...' etc.... Ha! Plus, it seems her 'photo-essay/memoir' must have been somewhat of a compromise. And the fact that on the day of its fancy-schmancy release party in London, she reveals Mick just happened to call her that morning to tell her how much he approved of the book and that he thought it was 'wonderful'.
Jerry is the worst when it comes to selling Mick's story.
And Bliss, you forgot Patti. Along with Bianca, Anita, she is a class act.

Is Anita truly a "class act"? There are ugly stories about her (of course I do not know (or care) if they are true), but why should she tell bad things about the man who has been paying her for decades? In this case Mr.Richards seems to be a "class act".

Yes, absolutely. There is little doubt that Anita is on Keith's payroll as a means of suppressing what would surely be the mother of all tell-all books. On the other hand, any book she would write would likely reflect worse on her than on anyone else, just as Jo's book does. Also, she may not wish to vilify the father of her children.

Anita has spoken somewhat negatively about Mick in interviews however. But she has never said a word against Keith.

That's a little harsh Bliss. By all accounts Keith and Anita have a good relationship; so it could just be that Keith supports her financially because he thinks it's the right thing to do for a woman who was his common law wife for many years and is the mother of his children. You make it sound as if she is blackmailing him with the threat of a tell all book.

Not at all. It is well-known that Anita and Keith have a good r'ship, and she has said she loves Patti as well. But Anita is a survivor, and if she had no other means of supporting herself apart from selling her story, I believe she would. She has never worked as far as I know, apart from designing some ripped tee shirts.

I agree that Anita is a survivor, but I don't think you can extrapolate from there that she would do anything for money. Money never seemed to be a big movitation for her, at least it was never mentioned in anything I've read about her, she never seemed to be extravagant. Most of her money needs seemed to be for the drugs. Other than that, she never seemed to go in for fancy homes,vacations and all the other trappings of wealth.
There is much about her that remains a mystery, most of the notorious Anita stories stem from the days when she was heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol. She seems to have lived a very quiet life since becoming sober and she looks wonderful in recent pictures.
As for Krissy Wood, what happened to her is very sad. I wonder if Jo mentions it in her book.

Anita does dish about Mick and that always pisses me off. She loves to make disparaging remarks about him. She would never do that to Keith because I think Keith is genuinely kind and respectful toward her because that's how Keith is. But Anita can be petty about Mick. One of the under-examined stories for me in Stonesdom is the Anita/Mick relationship....she still seems to hold a grudge toward him and while affects a disdain, it seems like resentment. I know Anita fans will deny this to their last breath, but I really think Anita had a hard-on for Jagger and felt dismissed by him.
Bliss, what do you think?

Says a lot that all of Ronnie's children are supportive of Jo.

If she needed to tell this ghastly tale, couldn't she just have to gone to a shrink and poured it out...
