How Strange Is This?

just last night we were watching Top Gear,


the guest in the show was Ronnie Wood and who should be in the news today? Ronnie Wood, it appears that memorabilia and artwork provided by Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and his ex-wife was sold in a two-day auction on Sunday, among the items were a white leather coat worn by Wood that sold for $8,960, and a lithograph of Eric Clapton drawn by Wood that features his signature as well as Clapton's that fetched $5,120, despite being made of cardboard, a guitar cutout gifted to Wood by Keith Richards sold for $6,875, the real thing commanded almost nine times that price, with a 1955 Fender Stratocaster guitar often played on stage by Wood bringing in $60,800,


part of the proceeds from the auction will go to MusiCares, the Grammy Awards charity that offers help to people in the music industry with finance and addiction, but for us how strange that we watched him one evening then in a completely different context we saw him in the news the next day, cue the music for Twilight Zone!
