Jann Wenner, quien cofundó la revista Rolling Stone y también era cofundador del Salón de la Fama del Rock & Roll, fue retirado de la junta de directores del salón después de hacer comentarios despectivos sobre mujeres músicas y músicos negros.
Warner Bros.’ ‘The Nun II’ se mantuvo en el primer lugar de taquilla, mientras que ‘A Haunting in Venice’ de 20th Century Studios abrió en segundo lugar.Wenner cofundó Rolling Stone en 1967 y se desempeñó como editor o director editorial hasta 2019. También cofundó el Salón de la Fama del Rock & Roll, que se inauguró en 1987.
En la entrevista, Wenner pareció reconocer que enfrentaría una reacción violenta. “Sólo por razones de relaciones públicas, tal vez debería haber ido y encontrar un artista negro y una mujer para incluir aquí que no estuvieran a la altura del mismo estándar histórico, sólo para evitar este tipo de críticas”.
El año pasado, la revista Rolling Stone publicó sus 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos y clasificó a “What’s Going On” de Gaye en el puesto número 1, “Blue” de Mitchell en el puesto número 3, “Songs in the Key of Life” de Wonder en el puesto número 4, “Purple Rain” de Prince and the Revolution en el puesto 8 y “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” de Lauryn Hill en el puesto 10.
El nicho de Rolling Stone entre las revistas es una consecuencia de los enormes intereses de Wenner, una mezcla de música y cobertura cultural con fuertes reportajes de investigación.
