Jann Wenner (founder of publication Rolling Stone) Says Women And Black Artists Were Not Intellectually Articulate Enough To Be Interviewed For His New Book Of Rockstar Interviews

Apparently he cannot seem to accept the fact that he's basically irrelevant at this point. There have been a few publications about him in recent years, including a biography by Joe Hagan, and then Wenner's own follow up memoir on himself. That he allegedly spent half his life in the closet and kissing up (sometimes literally) to half of the rock world (if we are to believe Hagan on this...) seems to not have given him enough attention, so of course: here come the completely asinine/inappropriate/racist/sexist comments like these. I am not a fan of cancel culture, but in this case I am happy to indulge....

It was kind of intuitive over the years; it just fell together that way.

So he's intuitively racist and sexist. Got it.

"They just didn't articulate at that level"

Stolen comment from the article, which exactly reflected my thinking on this story:

"Hmm, that sounds bad. Maybe it was slightly better with context?"

"Ah no, context actually makes it worse."
