What's Sauce For The Goose...

Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones is having his autobiography serialised in the Mail.

(No, I don't buy the Mail. My in-laws do and they give us their old copies to line the rabbits' litter trays)

Ron is a bad boy. He and George Harrison (no, not my saintly George!) did a bit of wife swapping back in the day, Keith Richards drew a derringer on Ron, so he drew his Magnum, the whole pack of them were gobbling down Class A drugs like there was no tomorrow.

And it builds the legend. This is what rockers do. 

But if a little girl like Britney tries to live like a Rolling Stone- phew- the moralising, the long lenses, the lip-licking disapproval.

I'm not saying I like it how Britney is living her life- or Kate Moss or Amy Winehouse. All I'm saying is- equality of censure.

Yes...because he's a man (and an impossibly rich one at that) people shake their heads and say "This is what rockers do."

How many people, I wonder, have heard the story of the Eric Clapton/Patti Boyd Harrison/George Harrison triangle and felt sorry for the two men but thought Patti was a pig for having an affair with and later marrying Eric? And now, of course, they will think less of her because of this little revelation.

The gun play stuff? That sounds like retarded adolescence. Guy stuff.

Yes, indeed, equality of censure does require equality of stature. (to say nothing of talent, which seems to have little to do with this whole thing.)

The more I learn about Harrison the less I like him- which is a shame because I love the music.

Keith Richards has/had a thing about weapons and was prone to drug-fuelled rages. Not really the cool, laid back dude the legend says he is.

I read an interviw with Patti Boyd the other day. I forget exactly what she's doing these days, but it seems she's a survivor.
