Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger And Ronnie Wood Treat Employee To Lunch
In London...

by Jason Gregory
Friday, December 05, 2008

Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts treated their longest serving employee to lunch yesterday (December 4th).

The band took tour manager Alan Dunn, who has worked for them since 1968, to Petite Maison restaurant in London.

According to the Sun newspaper, guitarist Keith Richard was absent from the lunch because he is the Caribbean.

Richards is currently working on his autobiography, which is due to be released next year.

the original source

ROCK Lords THE ROLLING STONES treated their longest-serving member of staff to a slap up lunch to celebrate his 40 years of service yesterday.
Singer MICK JAGGER, guitarist RONNIE WOOD and drummer CHARLIE WATTS paid lavish tribute to tour manager ALAN DUNN, who has worked with the band since 1968.

Absent axe-man KEITH RICHARDS sent apologies from his Caribbean holiday home, where he’s working on his autobiography.

Also present at swanky Petite Maison restaurant in London was Mick’s squeeze L’WREN SCOTT and his son JAMES.

What I would have done to sit in Keith’s seat with these legends...

Thanks for link, Gazza Cool

You are warning us about fashion?  One for the books Grin

Since when do the boys care what they wear-except for Mick and to a lesser degree Charlie.  And obviously Ronnie doesn't have anyone dressing him anymore. 

Hey, that blue plaid  was very colorful!

I guess I've been concerned that his behavior of late may have put a strain on things.
I'm just so happy to see them looking well, especially Charlie!!! Fabulous.

I think Ronnie was invited on the condition that he paid the bill. While Keith wasnt there, it was nice of him to send along his bodyguard.

Anyways, I think that was very nice of them to take the time from their busy schedules to take this man out to lunch at a very fancy French restaurant!

Anyways, I think that was very nice of them to take the time from their busy schedules to take this man out to lunch at a very fancy French restaurant!



What 'busy schedules'?  Nolte - The Rocks Off patron saint Ronnie's daily routine of taking his pooch for a walk?

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS! Really hard up for Stones news these days! At least this is SOMETHING to show that MICK hasnt dissed Ronnie right out of the band! Or maybe it was a test ~ to see if RONNIE was drinking again ~ by the looks of the pics RONNIE's eyes look clear and sober! Good!  This is ALL GOOD! Even the fact that they actually appreciated an emplyee's long term loyalty is good news ~ it aint all about them all the time! Hope he got a raise after all these years!! Grin

Mick sure knows how to cut costs in this time of a "stalled" economy....Sorry  there is no room for a $200,000 bonus this year, but we do have a nice little lunch set up for us  Cheesy

Seriously, besides this lunch, I wonder what they gave him as a token (I am taking it as they did a little more than just this lunch for all those tour grossing records and his years of service). Possibly money, or a nice vacation for him and the family. Heck maybe a nice car?

1981. Yes, Long View Farm in Brookfield, Ma.

Great photo indeed, and one I've never seen before. (Nevers een ANy photos from the 81 rehearsals in fact)

Yes, that was before the 1981 Tour, the last "real one" some would argue, without 10+ backup musicians !

Amazing stories about their stay there on that site, this one for instance http://www.studiowner.com/essays/essay.asp?books=0&pagnum=3049 !

WTF?

On what planet?

Who do you work for?

Dude!  Seriously!

You're delusional!

I don't know of any companies that give $200, 000 bonuses!  Family vacations?  Brand-new cars?

Ha!  Ha!  Ha!

Where I work when someone retires, we usually have a potluck dinner for them and they get a nice plaque!  The women usually get red roses, too.

P.S.  In this "stalled" economy, we should all be grateful to have a job, a lot of people are unemployed!

_________________________

Ahhhhh gorda, this was supposed to be a joke for the most part....

On a serious note ....$200,000 bonuses = Mid-size companies/corporation CEO's get bonuses like this left and right. Many much more than that. It is no secret The Stones are, in a sense a mid-size company in themselves and are the highest paid musicians in the world and have been for decades. In fact their tours have generated over a billion dollars since 1989 alone. 

So, in actuality I think Mr. Dunn deserves a bit more than a pot luck dinner or some plaque for managing all those record breaking multi-million dollar world tours. Every one of their tours since the 1970's was an over-all success at the very least... He must be good at what he does other wise he would of been ousted long ago.

By the way...Mr. Dunn's occupation isn't exactly the every day job. The dude is titled as "The" actual head tour manager for The Rolling Stones for decades now. Thats his job ....you know....overseeing and being in charge of the biggest musical act and their show (and all their employees...chefs and all) while on these record breaking tours. By far and away they are the most successful touring entourage for countless years with several record breaking tours both in attendance as well as from a financial stand point.

In case you still do not get it...

Maybe we should be asking you what planet your from?

The guy isn't exactly working part time at a call center.

Yeah really. I mean loyalty is one thing. But to stick around this long,I'm sure he is very well compensated.....But the whole lunch thing leads to other questions. Mick is no dummy. He knows a big lunch in a very public place in London is going to generate some attention. Maybe it was a public way of saying all is good with Ronnie.

______________________________

Yes good observation. They could of killed two birds with one stone (or maybe two Stones Smiley).

***It really gets me how everyone always acts like Ronnie is on his death bed. Sure the dude has a problem, no doubt, but people act like he is going to keel over any day. Just three months ago people were talking like he was possibly going to die.

It really is blown out of proportion I think. Sure he is an alcoholic... but he, is a very functional alcoholic. Sadly the day could come when it all catches up to him (God forbid, lets hope not) but he's still in alright shape right now. I mean, the dude is rehearsing for a tour right now lol ...what does that tell you.

That was his brother Arnold- who also features in a backstage scene in the Biggest Bang documentary.

They have a third brother, Tony - who doesnt work for the Stones organization, but is a great bloke. He was instrumental in getting a few lucky fans (me included) VIP/hospitality passes for a couple of the UK shows in 2006.

The memory of GTRM's reaction to seeing Rocks Off's favourite Stones promoter whilst we were standing there trying to look inconspicuous is something I'll take to my grave...

GTRM (hissing very loudly in a Noo Joisey accent as he passed no more than 10 feet away) : THAT RAT BASTID!!
