Like a Rolling Stone: A Memoir
by Jann Wenner
From the publisher's website:
Jann Wenner has been called by his peers “the greatest editor of his generation.”
His deeply personal memoir vividly describes and brings you inside the
music, the politics, and the lifestyle of a generation, an epoch of
cultural change that swept America and beyond. The age of rock and roll
in an era of consequence, what will be considered one of the great
watersheds in modern history. Wenner writes with the clarity of a
journalist and an essayist. He takes us into the life and work of Bob
Dylan, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Bono, and Bruce Springsteen, to name a
few. He was instrumental in the careers of Hunter S. Thompson, Tom
Wolfe, and Annie Leibovitz. His journey took him to the Oval Office with
his legendary interviews with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, leaders to
whom Rolling Stone gave its historic, full-throated backing. From Jerry
Garcia to the Dalai Lama, Aretha Franklin to Greta Thunberg, the people
Wenner chose to be seen and heard in the pages of Rolling Stone tried
to change American culture, values, and morality.
Like a Rolling Stone is a beautifully written portrait of one man’s life, and the life of his generation.
