Pete Townshend was on hand on Monday night (November 2nd) in London, to present old friend Ron Wood with an Outstanding Contribution Honor at the Classic Rock Awards. Wood, who was singled out for his "ageless presence on the scene," revealed that the trophy was his first-ever honor not shared with the Faces or the Rolling Stones, saying, "It means a lot. It's about time -- I've never had one just for myself." Other legends honored at the awards gala included Ginger Baker, John Bonham, and Iggy Pop -- who snagged the Living Legend award. (BBC.co.uk)

Robin Gibb says that Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis are "mimicking" him and brothers Barry and the late Maurice Gibb's sometimes bitter rivalries, saying, "They're just copying us. We've been through all that. To be honest, I'm surprised they stayed together for as long as they did and I think they've gone as far as they can together." Gibb went on to say that the fellow Mancunians remind him of his relationships with his famous brothers, "but on a more physically violent level." (NME.com)
