There’s the sultry one, the pensive one, and the scary one. But what about Ron Wood? Why doesn’t the Rolling Stones guitarist get his own demeaning, reductive adjective?
The release of Ronnie: The Autobiography may change all that. Wood writes about playing in the Jeff Beck Group and the Faces as well as with the Stones, so perhaps he should be the promiscuous one? Further evidence comes in the form of stories about his dalliances with Patti Harrison (ex-wife of George) and former Canadian First Lady Margaret Trudeau. In addition to these wanton tales, the book features the drama and drug use many have come to expect from the Rolling Stones.
Wood told Billboard.com about how many memories came “flooding back” while he was writing the book. So much so, that “There’s already a book two kind of ticking over on the back burner if I wanted to do that.” Maybe the guitarist will end up being known as the prolific one.
