From 2008 Interview with Rolling Stone magazine:

What did you listen to growing up?

I have pretty eclectic tastes. I grew up in the Seventies, so a lot of Seventies rhythm & blues and pop were staples for me: Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind and Fire, Elton John, Rolling Stones.

Is there anyone who you would say were musical heroes to you at the time?

If I had one, it would have to be Stevie Wonder. When I was just at that point where you start getting involved in music, Stevie had that run with Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Fulfillingness' First Finale and Innervisions, and then Songs in the Key of Life.

Those are as brilliant a set of five albums as we've ever seen. So that was a guy I loved, and I loved the Stones.

how do u say WTF in german, or at least the equivalent abbreviation?

Zitat von cinema

Keith Richards got 50% of all votes, while Mick Jagger got 28%. This might be a surprise to people who do know that Mick is getting a lot of press, and also among average people. Still, IORR is not a place for average people. Keith IS the Stones, that is what the fans are saying. Charlie Watts got 9% and Ronnie Wood was close by. The other members of the Stones in the past Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor, Brian Jones and Ian Stewart got just some marginal votes.(http://www.iorr.org/poll/pollaug08.htm)

Damit hätte ich nicht gerechnet! Aber ist absolut o. k. so.

ok, yeah, I made the poll on the individual Stones the subject of another thread here on Trefff.

The fotos were taken by Harm of IORR, who lives about a half hour from Aachen but in Belgium.

I have been thru that area last year -- after Nijmegen, I drove south, stopped at Bastogne -- tour and overnight -- then further south before driving into Germany, ultimately to my third cousins place in Karlsruhe (they are Germans, not Americans).

I know I wasn't too far from Aachen as I remember seeing road signs for it. And I think there is some World War II battle history about the place.

Dinner for two £100, drinks (non alcoholic) £21, taxi £12.. angry wife £50m

DESOLATE: Jo leaves home yesterday
By Sara Nuwar & James Desborough, 28/09/2008

IT COULD be the most EXPENSIVE dessert in HISTORY as Ronnie Wood lets his Russian lover tenderly spoon ice cream into his mouth in our pictures of their intimate dinner together.

For the final chilling bill for the old Stone’s cosy £100 meal with 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova could run to as much as £50 MILLION.

That’s the massive divorce payout his rejected wife Jo can expect as we reveal her patience with her wayward husband has SNAPPED—and she’s called in LAWYERS.

“Jo has had enough of his behaviour,” said a pal last night. “She feels humiliated, spurned and furious that her best friend has treated her like that.

“She has spoken with her legal team—and they’ve made it clear she is in a terrifically strong position.

Romantic
“And she knows there is little argument that she has saved his career and life from the drugs and booze many times.”

These sensational pictures of besotted Ronnie, 61, gazing into his new blonde’s eyes as she gently caresses his face—could well be the final straw in their 23-year marriage for Jo, alone when she picked up a take-away last night.

Her husband’s romantic meal began just after 9pm on Monday when Ronnie made his way from a counselling session at a London rehab centre to join his mistress of five months— Katia to her pals—at fashionable West End restaurant Locanda Locatelli.

His security team drove him to an underground ground car park before he arrived at a table in the open-plan dining room where his lover was already waiting.

Ronnie and former waitress Katia sipped cola during the two-and-a-quarter hour meal, chatting happily and giggling throughout. Between courses Katia—famously dubbed “that Russian tart” by Jo— affectionately cupped Ronnie’s lined face in her hands.

Grandad
Then the waif-like blonde lovingly spoon-fed him ice-cream. An onlooker told us: “They looked like a couple deeply in love. Ronnie couldn’t take his eyes off her.

“They were very touchy feely. It all looked very sweet but Ronnie does look like her granddad.”

Dinner for two without wine at Locanda Locatelli—run by celebrity chef Giorgio Locatelli—would usually cost around £100. But now Ronnie might have to find a little bit extra.

For as Jo, 53, talks to her lawyers, divorce experts are predicting an ENORMOUS payout easily eclipsing the £24.3 million Paul McCartney had to hand out to Heather Mills.

They reckon she could win as much as HALF of the rocker’s £70 million fortune and net up to a further 20 PER CENT for her years of work as his executive assistant.

Jo has been indispensable to Ronnie—going on every tour with the rocker since they met and even picking out his clothes and cooking him organic food.

And she’s been pivotal in his business success. She has a controlling stake in the couple’s finances and acts as Ronnie’s personal management assistant on deals. She is also a joint director of his music empire Rockyarch and company secretary of Ron’s paintings business Scream Art.

And, like footballer Ray Parlour’s ex-wife Karen in 2004, she could even claim part of his FUTURE EARNINGS.

The couple share fabulous homes around the world, including their lavish £12 million London mansion in Kingston Upon Thames, crammed with valuable antiques and art.

Their Co Kildare bolthole is estimated to be worth £4.5 million and the couple also own a £250,000 cottage in Devon.

Yet the financial implications of his cheating seemed far from Ronnie’s mind as he lapped up the attentions of his young lover.

After their meal, the guitarist— anxious to avoid being snapped with Katia— left alone and met up with a minder before hailing a taxi to take him to his rented flat in Hampstead. Meanwhile Katia left the restaurant separately through a side entrance.

Last night friends of Jo said she feels totally betrayed.

DINNER DATE: At Locanda Locatelli“At first she thought his fling with Katia would be over by July,” said a close pal. “But Ronnie has a different view. He cannot let go of Kat and is sacrificing his marriage to keep her happy.

“The family are backing their mum in this fight. They reckon Ronnie has overstepped the mark.

“Although the divorce would be painful, Ronnie has undoubtedly let them all down.”

Just how much pain Ronnie might suffer was spelled out by top divorce lawyer Denise Lester, from respected London firm Moss, Beachley, Mullem and Coleman.

Wealth
She told us: “If the Woods divorced, the payout sum could easily exceed McCartney’s divorce settlement.

“Jo would be entitled to a lot more than Heather Mills got in her divorce to Paul McCartney. Heather was around for only a short time after Paul had made it big. Jo’s case if far stronger. She was an intrinsic part of Ronnie’s life for over 25 years, and instrumental in amassing his wealth.

“She has made an invaluable contribution to his success. She is a superwoman who would be entitled to argue for an equal share of the money in court—and could get it if a judge sides with her.

“On top of that she has a strong case to argue for Ronnie’s future earnings until his death as well. She may not get 50 percent, but it would still be a significant sum.”

In 2004, former England and Arsenal star Ray Parlour’s divorce with wife Karen set a precedent in marriage payouts when a judge ruled he should not only pay a sum based on their time together—but also on what he would earn from then on.

But the old rocker seems happy to live in the present and let the future take care of itself as he spends most of his time with Katia in his north London bolthole. He’s already moved many personal possessions— including his easels and art equipment—from his marital home to his new flat.

A pal told us: “Everyone has painted Kat as a wild child but she was supporting Ronnie through rehab. She is committed to helping him remain sober.

“She is in love with him and they forget about the age difference when they are together. Even though she stays most nights they always leave the address separately.

“I know Jo was hoping he would dump Katia and return home but that is not going to happen. Ronnie and Kat have a real bond.

“They have the same quirky sense of humour.”

That might be something Ronnie needs if Jo’s lawyers come calling.

Last night a spokesman for the Woods declined to comment.
