It's really not surprising to any females or POC who lived through those years that Wenner is a sexist, racist shitbag.

Mick Jagger is a philosopher of life and music (stolen from black people) yet Joni Mitchell is inarticulate. Haha!

Tina Turner?
Ann Wilson?
Sly and the Family Stone?
Motown?

This story is not just about Jann Wenner. This story is about how the 1960's revolutions and freedoms that happened were not as great for women, blacks and other minorities as they were for many white men...who viewed Free Love as a means to get away with rape which has pretty much continued to this day.
