The Rolling Stones may give Ron Wood the elbow. From Contact Music…
A source tells the newspaper, “Mick (Jagger, frontman) has always relied on Jo to be his conduit through to Ronnie – he has relied on her to get Ronnie to work, to keep him well enough to pass a medical for the tour. Without Jo, Ronnie would never have managed to go on tour, you can’t do it without insurance, and you won’t get insurance without the medical. It’s always been up to Jo to get him through all that. All communication has gone through Jo for years, so now Mick has washed his hands of Ronnie. The feeling is that he can’t come back after this one. Ronnie has always been a bit lost, and, without Jo, nobody can reach him.”
A couple of things here:
1. How in the hell does Keith Richards get insurance? Another good argument for trepanning I say. Maybe all Woody needs is a good hole in the head.
2. Wood’s spot is open. The new guy is going to have to be able to pass a physical.
Let’s have some fun with this. Who would you pick to be the Stones new guitarist?
My vote…hmm…Richie Kotzen.
The Beatles…
…or…
…The Rolling Stones?
Now, before jumping to conclusions, let’s take a gander at an insightful quote from Lemmy…
The Beatles were from Liverpool. It’s a hard town. The Stones weren’t the hard men. They just dressed up. The Beatles were the hard men. Fucking Liverpool, man. The Stones are from the suburbs of London. Ringo was from the fucking Dingle, which is the worst area, next to Glasgow, that I’ve ever seen in my life. What they did in both those places—they couldn’t reform it, so they just knocked it down. They moved everybody out and razed it and built new housing projects. No way to make it civilized, you know what I mean? It was fucking lawless. The police wouldn’t go in there.
I love the Brits, they’ll bet on anything.
They got this big annual festivoolay, big rock show; Glastonbury. The tickets for next year’s event sold out within hours and the acts haven’t even been announced!
Now, the speculation turns to who will headline and…lay your money down. What fun!
