At the time of this conversation, Ronnie Wood and the rest of the Rolling Stones were in Toronto, rehearsing for their Voodoo Lounge tour. Gracious and easy to talk to, Ronnie happily answered my questions about his musical upbringing and influences, various bands, interplay with Keith Richards, approach to slide guitar, favorite gear, and so on. Last May I posted a transcription of this July 1994 interview. Given its popularity with readers, I thought I’d share the world debut of the audio:

Spotify Wrapped season is here. I wrote this essay in anticipation of Escape the Fate (ETF)—the Ronnie-Radke-as-frontman era Escape the Fate—yet again, appearing on my year-in-review. For the first time ever, Escape the Fate even made it onto my Top 5 Artists, earning the 4th spot between Kim Petras and Charli XCX. I also recently read Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma by Claire Dederer, recommended by fellow Substack and now-IRL friend

Ronny Thompson, Georgetown Men’s Basketball Chief of Staff under Patrick Ewing, is no longer employed by the program and will not be a part of new Georgetown head coach Ed Cooley’s incoming staff, according to multiple Georgetown sources. Thompson, the son of John Thompson Jr. and brother of John Thompson III, has drawn criticism in recent years both publicly and privately for his heavy-handed approach in managing many aspects of the men’s basketball program at Georgetown.

Somewhere, hidden up there in the tree, a Rose-breasted Grosbeak has a lot to say. His song is operatic. I can get only a glimpse of his strawberry-red cravat before he disappears again into the leaves. A Rose-breasted Grosbeak’s song is full of variety and feeling.

I have been on a mission to apply a general cooking technique (reverse heat + mid-cook marinade) to various underutilized, less expensive cuts of meat. This is an easy strategy when we are talking about fatty-rich cuts of meat (hanger, skirt, chuck steaks, flat-iron), that respond well to various cooking methods, but what about lean, typically chewy cuts of meat? Enter the Round Eye Roast. First a bit about this cut.

Royal Feast is steadily becoming a favourite with its offerings of stunning food visuals, romance and palace politics. It’s always been the case that this is a drama primarily about the women of the Inner Palace in all their glamour and nastiness.
