He’ll turn 65 June 1, but legendary rocker Ron Wood is feeling young.
He’s got a hit radio show, just got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the second time, and played one sensational concert at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City on Saturday, April 21.
Oh, and Woody has a new art exhibition “Faces, Time and Places,” running through July in New York, with a satellite gallery — featuring the Rolling Stones’ member’s originals and prints — just opened at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City.
The one-off Atlantic City showed Woody to be in top form, prancing around the stage in a high-energy show that last about two hours. He played guitar and sang, as well as slide guitar and harmonica.
Following Wood and friends’ “Golden” weekend in Atlantic City, it’s gonna be a big weekend this weekend for the Nugget, too.

The Showtime Super Six Classic Finals boxing event finally took place in Atlantic City at Boardwalk Hall on Saturday, Dec. 17, with Andre Ward just too good for the United Kingdom’s Carl Froch.
Ward, 25(13)-0, and the WBA world champion, won the 12-round bout with a unanimous decision victory over Froch, 28(20)-2. Ward also brought the long-running Showtime Super Six Classic middleweight championship to a close, walking away with not only the Super Six Silver Cup, but also Froch’s WBC championship.
Ward, an Olympic gold medalist who remains undefeated, has several fighters anxious to get (or get back) into the ring with him, likely including Froch.

ATLANTIC CITY — A large audience gathered Thursday night at Atlantic City’s new night spot Club Piscopo, which opened over the July 4 holiday weekend at Resorts Casino Hotel. The draw was comedian Don Novello.
Who’s that? Well, if you’re old enough to remember the days before cell phones, laptop computers, and i-anything, you probably know Novello under his noms de stage Father Guido Sarducci.
Novello’s character dates back to the early 1970s and his very popular Father character made frequent appearances on NBC’s Saturday Night Live during the late 1970s. He was also a writer for SNL at one time.
Novello, as Father Guido Sarducci, is performing a four-night residency at Club Piscopo (July 14-17) and appears on stage with his fellow SNL comic Piscopo, who debuted on SNL on 1980 with Eddie Murphy.
