what did you take of what you read from wenner? >> i start mided my career as a music writer.m back then speaking up and noting how magazines -- competing magazines, that focused on black artists and on rap, were created in part because of the way "rolling stone" seemed to underplay those types of artists in coverage back then when wenner was more involved with the magazine. beyond that, i guess we're in a moment where people are saying the quiet part out loud now. i was kind of amazed he would admit this stuff. as somebody from back then who remembered being critical of "rolling stone's" coverage, at least you have validation that what you saw back then was real and about how they were treating women and artists of color were valid. he pulled this back to the bad old days when white males controlled pop music coverage in the industry itself. >> jann wenner, founder of "rolling stone" magazine. he has been removed from the bo board. he has apologized. we will be right back. she found it. the feeling of finding the psoriasis treatment she's been looking for. sotyktu is the firs

guarded and now francis rolling founder jen wenner rolling stone founder jen wenner is gathering moss all. yeah. the founder of the all. yeah. so the founder of the rolling stone, jann wenner, has come under a little bit of criticism . um, so because he he criticism. um, so because he he created this article, this book, i can't remember what it was. it's a book where he only. yeah, that was it. the book called the white master . yes, exactly. only white master. yes, exactly. only white rock performers whom he dubbed the philosophers or the philosophers of rock and saying that they were more articulate than their black counterparts, which , let's be fair, is a which, let's be fair, is a little bit racist. well, particularly, let me play the devil's advocate . he says devil's advocate. he says they're articulate. he talks about it at some length and he says they don't articulate on rock and roll. and i mean , he rock and roll. and i mean, he says, like curtis mayfield, marvin gaye and also joni mitchell, because there's no women in there. yeah, joni mitchell has never made a rock n roll

. >> wenner apologized for his remarks and said he would accept the consequences.t where to start. we have the statement from jann wenner, what's your take and the repercussions of what's happened since? >> i think the apology is as disingenuous as the book he wrote. thank you for having me. you write a book on the masters of rock 'n' roll, and you don't have black contributors, then it's not really a book of masters of rock 'n' roll since the art form was created by black musicians. if you're going to tell me the same song writers who created this incredible music aren't articulate enough to have passages in your book, i think everything from the premise of you writing the book to what you called it, to not only be offensive but to show the true colors of the man, and in that interview, where they said joanie mitchell, some of the women he said were inarticulate, dolly parton, janet jackson, annie lennox, in the hall of fame, quincy jones is in the hall of fame, you're telling me all of these prolific song writers, these masters of words and thoughts aren't articu

so, if your measure of greatness is a white guy with a guitar, a white guy with a guitar that jann wennert alternative patti smith, there is a whole range of artists who could've gotten more coverage, but never got the coverage they deserve. i would even say, when you look at what mtv did, they took their cues from rolling stone to some degree, and that defense of what is rock. so, what rolling stone did is take rock from the founders of the music, and make it into white music. and that idea isn't becoming into the entire culture and sort of reframe the history of american culture in a very way. >> -- to not include jimi hendrix, one of the greats, he thinks that the people who derives their arch from somebody like hendricks or the other founders, mick jagger admits to the influence of people like tina turner. he went to see aretha franklin and stood in the back that she did a concert and marveled at her. they even acknowledge, you're right, these are great artist, people like bono, they acknowledge that they took that music that was black music and repurposed it admitted their own. black
