LOL!! That's hilarious!
On a serious note, I loved and grew up with that magazine. During it's hey-day, there were some great interviews with a who's-who of musical celebrities-Dylan, Lennon, Springsteen, Jim Morrison, Pete Townshend, you name it.
I particularly liked the lengthy interview with Keith Richards in 1971 and the latter day interview with Mick Jagger during the Voodoo Lounge tour in 94-95.
The two part interview with John Lennon after the Beatles broke up that became the book Lennon Remembers was quite revealing for the time.
I love that interview. Jann gets a lot of credit in my book for that one.Quote

That interview on the VL Tour I think was the most insightful and revealing interview Mick has ever done. I have gone back and read it multiple times.

Maybe Kanye West will be interested. Does he still believe himself to be the biggest and best rock star on the planet? Would make sense for him to have the (formerly) biggest and best rock magazine at his disposal to tell us how great he is. He and his wife certainly have "lots of money" that Wenner desires.
Peace,

In 2008, TV Guide (which was reportedly losing $20 million per year by that point) was sold to Beverly Hills-based equity fund OpenGate Capital for only $1.

Oh to be rich enough to buy this thing and shut it down and hopefully jan's folly in Cleveland would come with it, so I could either fix it or shut it down too.

I had many of those same thoughts myself... Esp re: the R&RHOF... First thought when I read the thread title was along the lines of "I wonder if that will allow some integrity to be brought into the R&RHOF?" I'm not getting my hopes up though.
Peace,

Any tears for the NYC based 'Village Voice' ?
Ceases publication after some 62 years. Dylan to be on the final cover.

Martin Richard was an 8 year old boy who went with his family to cheer on runners at the Boston marathon.that was the last day of his life.he died because of an explosion set off by two terrorists who detonated a pressure cooker bomb near where he was standing.
Jan Wenner put one of the terrorists on the cover of rolling stone magazine-think about that for a moment.

Unfortunately Jan Wenner went from being an arbiter of great music to being a left wing politico. The magazine went the same way and alienated at least half of it's previous audience. Good riddence. I'm getting pretty sick of the non-stop Trump bashing when the real criminals (Democrats) constantly get a pass from the left wing media. Man-made global climate change my ass.
