Ron before he was Stoned.

Signed Ron and Pete Print from Ron Wood’s How Can It Be? Diary

How Can It Be? is a diary kept by Ron Wood in 1965, 10 years before he became a Rolling Stone. Wood has been with the Stones since 1975. Although his contributions started a little earlier with It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll, an album he didn’t make the cover of, but made contributions notably the title track.

What makes How Can It Be? so intriguing is that it is based on the observations of an 18-year-old Wood and not the recollections of an elder statesman of rock. An accomplished painter, Wood also adds illustrations to the story, which were inspired by the musings of his younger self.

Along with the illustrations the 1,965 limited edition copies of How Can It Be? come signed by Wood and include a 7” disc of a song Ron started back in the day.

The signed illustrations created by Ron for the book can also be purchased separately.

The Rolling Stones start their Zip Code tour of the US May 24. Their combined age is 278.
