Ron Wood: Some Boys by Helen Bach

A pretty cool boy once asked me if I’d ever have any romantic interest in Mick Jagger. Eeww no, not even the young Jag.

The Rolling Stones just never really did it for me. I mean they didn’t suck, but I used cash money to purchase only 1 album by them in

my entire life and at this moment there is not 1 Stones song in my playlist anywhere. I bought Some Girls., cuz the cover was cool.

But the boys.. nah. Just gross.

So dig this

We all know that Keith Richards has been dead for what? 20 years now,

more? But apparently Ron Wood is another sad bloke The guitarist spent up to $4,500 a day on his freebase cocaine habit in the ’80s

“It got to the point where I would be on my hands and knees looking for crumbs that might have fallen out of the crack pipe. I even banned

my children eating meringues in the house after I ended up smoking sugar, believing it to be cocaine.”

Wood has been to rehab seven times in 30 years, admits his drinking problems were even worse – but he has now been sober for the last six
months.

Six months?

It saddens me when legends with years of life and miles of success cant find the basic peace within to rise above addictions. Showing

that with fame and fortune the basic premise of mental illness sustains.

Hid the salt shakers. Best wishes Mr Wood.
