Ronnie Wood Livres

This is an up-front and personal look at life as a Rolling Stone as Ronnie tries to understand Mick and Keith; runs a $5,000 a week cocaine habit; makes millions, loses them, and makes them again; survives bad managers, the mob, and his own demons; and realizes that his life is on the verge of being critically out of control and finally begins to save it. It's a roller-coaster ride of unbelievable highs and unimaginable lows. It is also the story of big personalities: Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend.

The narrative centers on Ron Wood's four-times Great Grandfather, Fr. Blas Ordaz, a Franciscan Priest who arrived in the Americas in 1806. Assigned to the Alta California mission system, Ordaz's life story unfolds through family lore spanning generations. Born in 1792 and passing away in 1850, the same year California achieved statehood, he is interred beneath the San Gabriel Mission in California. The book provides a unique glimpse into the historical and cultural context of early California through the lens of Ordaz's experiences.
