Pełny opis It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, Thirty Years Married to a Rolling Stone by Dr Jo Wood, 9780062280619.
In this wild, behind-the-scenes portrait of one of the biggest rockbands in history, Jo Wood comes clean about her three decades as the
girlfriend and eventually the wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie
Wood. This startlingly honest, laugh-out-loud memoir vividly describes
life on tour, in the studio, at the legendary parties-and every raucous
moment in between.
From teenage model to hard-partying rock 'n' roll devotee, through
motherhood, marriage, breakdown, and the challenge of starting over
again, Jo Wood has had a roller-coaster ride of a life. At the age of
sixteen, Jo burst onto the British modeling scene and became a fixture
at London's most glamorous parties. A few years later, just twenty-two
years old and a single mom, she met Ronnie Wood and her life changed
forever.
Holding nothing back, Jo paints an astonishing picture of the sex,
drugs, booze, groupies, and-above all-the fun that filled her thirty
years as a member of the Stones' inner circle. Telling
never-before-heard stories about what life on the road with the Stones
was really like, she offers intimate portraits of the band's legendary
cast of characters, including Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jerry Hall,
and Patti Hansen. She recalls the excitement of getting to know
international A-list celebrities like Kate Moss, Andy Warhol, Johnny
Depp, and Slash.
Jo also opens up about her family life with Ronnie: their passionate
love affair, the demands of being a mother by day and a wild child by
night, and eventually coping with Ronnie's increasingly difficult
behavior as his addictions consumed him. For the first time, she reveals
her heartbreaking account of what happened when Ronnie left her for an
eighteen-year-old waitress, explaining how she was able to forgive, live
without bitterness or regret, and find new happiness as an entrepreneur
and organic beauty expert.
Including never-before-seen photographs from Jo's personal collection, It's Only Rock 'n' Roll
is a compelling piece of rock 'n' roll history from a woman with a
backstage pass and front-row seat. Enchanting, candid, and moving, this
page-turning fairy tale of fame and fortune has the best of the era's
many euphoric and reckless moments within its pages.
