So Mark Ronson and I go way back. Like so far back I kind of forgot who he was until he became famous and even then it took me a while to put 2 and 2 together. We're the same age and both starting clubbing around the same time. He was an aspiring DJ then, and he was cute. really cute. Honestly I never would have guessed that he was filthy rich. Anyway, his Dad, well stepdad, is Mick Jones, from Foreigner not the Clash. That was how we started talking. My first words to him were "You're Dad is Mick Joooones...?"

But anyway, he and my friend Richard were kinda chummy and that's usually how I'd run into him. He was cool though. Because he was a hot guy I usually behaved like a drunken idiot around him, but he found me very amusing. I don't think I even knew his name at the time, I referred to him as Mick Jones' son.

However, I do have a pretty interesting story. I know he's a married man now and all; so let's bear in mind this was a loooooooong time ago. It has absolutely no bearing on what he's got going on today. And let me add he's a freakin musical genius, had I only known.

But; around 94 my roomate was a call girl. She was my best friend from high school so I knew her well. There was no need to doubt her credibility. One morning; I was just getting home from Tunnel. She gets in from her call and asks if I know a Mark Ronson. There was also a brother I believe. The 2 of them and 3rd guy were her 5 am call. They must have been pretty young then, I was only 19 and his birthday is after mine. Anyway, the escort service she worked for forbid her from arriving to a call with multiple dudes without knowing ahead of time. But since they were 3 rich teenagers she was cool with it and kept it between them and well...me. They lived in the Dakota building. (Google it, it's some famous John Lennon shit.)

Nothing particularly scandalous went down; she did have sex with all 3 of them, but individually. I envision the whole thing to have gone down like the hooker scene in The Last American Virgin. Anyway, it's pretty interesting to see where he's at now. I remember when he was the $50 substitute DJ.
