Gossip. I feel for the guy. No privacy. Criminally stupid. A drunk. Livin' in a fishbowl. I feel for his wife n Family.

Thank goodness he won't be dealing with an addiction to coke or smack. If a Rolling Stone can't handle hard drugs, then what hope is there for the rest of us?

It's always those 19 year old Russian waitresses isn't it?

He is not a bassist. Bill Wyman was the Stones bassist before he quit. Ronnie Wood is a guitarist. I hope he gets better. Addiction sometimes is just self medication for a larger problem. Good luck Ronnie.

He looks like he's had a rough time of it. Good luck to him.

If I had to look at Keith's & Mick's bums onstage, I'd be a raging drunk too. Therefore, I have no excuse for living in the pub.

Better not fuck up the Faces reunion! Just kidding, but not really. Good luck to Ron. On a positive note, maybe this is an opportunity for the Stones to get their real guitarist back, Mick Taylor! Then Ron rejoin the Faces permanently when he gets out. It's a win win!

The last time he was out of rehab, he said the hardest part was the night. His day more or less started at 9pm and everyone else was ending theirs. Can't be easy. Of course, having a pub bar in your basement can't help either.

Ouch! Hmm..young women are always tempting to the older men and vice versa for look at Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Oh well..
I am waiting for the day that I hear of someone chekcing in for candy addiction. Not alcohol but like a gummy bear addiction. Just something different! 8) Need some humor in our lives!

I'm a lifetime lover of the Stones---just saw this post b/c I can't be at a computer that much...addiction is SO hard, and I know Ronnie has struggled with (alcohol especially) for a long time. I wish him well and hope he can find the strength to overcome --If he was messing around with some 19 year old on Jo, though, well, that is disappointing.

Shocking. I'd 'ave never guessed he liked the liquor.
