Jann Wenner's comments about Black and female musicians have him out at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's board of directors. Vlad Duthiers shows us what he said and why he is facing such significant backlash.
Wenner, the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine, also co-founded the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
Rolling Stone magazine co-founder, editor and publisher Jann Wenner joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss his new memoir, "Like a Rolling Stone." His personal memoir describes and brings readers inside the music, politics and lifestyle of a generation.
He was a 21-year-old Berkeley dropout when he launched Rolling Stone magazine in 1967. It would become a cultural Bible for Baby Boomers, and its history is now told in Wenner's new memoir, "Like a Rolling Stone."
In his new memoir the founder of Rolling Stone writes of the magazine's emergence as a celebration of the power and artistry of rock music – and also about a more personal celebration, when he is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
