SteveAJones Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Ronnie A candid, no-holds-barred romp through forty years of drugs, sex and rock ‘n roll Ronnie Wood is one of rock’s true originals. This is his story, in his own words, about his life, loves, family, friends, music, art and survival against the odds. It’s a roller-coaster ride of unbelievable highs and unimaginable lows, From a small boy growing up on a working class council estate not far from Heathrow Airport who wanted to play music and paint - the first generation of his "water gypsy" family to be born on dry land - to becoming one of the most famous musicians in the world, Ronnie Wood toured the world with his Rolling Stone bandmates - Mick, Keith, Charlie and, for a while, Bill. And the five of them have, arguably, been seen in person by more people on this planet than anyone else in the history of mankind. But as mayhem and hysteria invariably followed on Ronnie's adventure through the excesses of rock ‘n roll, the drugs got harder and his relationships - especially with Mick, Keith, various women and his family - became increasingly more complex. This is Ronnie the husband, father, grandfather and rock star the way you have never seen any rock star before. RONNIE is an up-front and personal look at life as a Rolling Stone, from the inside, and at the Stones as the rest of the world has never seen them. After RONNIE, drugs, sex and rock ‘n' roll will never be the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I read the book at the library, and Ronnie Wood's claim of auditioning to be Led Zeppelin's lead guitarist is a drug induced fairy tale. It's comical at how untrue his account is. How that story got past the editors is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOJO Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 A great book Precious M by Henry Wojturski writers digest called: A rock-n-roll romance with a twist. A look into the hard, wild world of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. A realistic look into the life of working musicians. Q 104.3 NY's classic rock radio station called: A stereotypical view of rock-n-roll. The author so alot of passion for his characters. A great read. http://precious-m.tripod.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
