In reply to the discussion: Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner removed from Rock Hall leadership after controversial comments [View all]ExWhoDoesntCare

You know, Joni (Mitchell) was not a philosopher of rock n roll. She didnt, in my mind, meet that test, he told the Times.
Joni Mitchell only wrote the song so defining about Woodstock and its philosophy that nobody else even bothered to do their own, really.
Instead, people who were there, or wanted to be, simply repeated what she had to say.
When you sum up an entire movement in one song so well that nobody can even touch it after that, you're a philosopher, you stupid, bigoted tosser.
I've always hated that douche nozzle.

I don't think anyone has reported that he admitted the book interviews were not confrontational.

Rolling Stone was great in its early years. He gets all the credit for that.
