Summary:
A biography of
Jann
Wenner
, the iconic founder of
Rolling
Stone
magazine
, and a romp through the hothouses of rock and roll, politics, media, and Hollywood, from the Summer of Love to the Internet age. Lennon. Dylan. Jagger. Belushi. Leibovitz. An insider's trip through the backstages of storied concert venues, rock-star hotel rooms, and the political ups and downs of the latter half of the Twentieth Century, right up through the digital age: connecting the counterculture of Haight Ashbury to the "straight world." Supplemented by a cache of extraordinary documents and letters from
Wenner
's personal archives, the story of a mercurial, wide-eyed rock and roll fan of ambiguous sexuality but unambiguous ambition who reinvents youth culture, marketing the libertine world of the late sixties counterculture in a stylish, glossy package that would stand for decades as a testament to the cultural power of American youth.
Joe
Hagan
captures the extraordinary lives constellated around a
magazine
that began as a scrappy rebellion and became a locus of power, influence, and access. A fascinating and complex portrait of
Jann
Wenner
that is also a biography of popular culture, celebrity, music, and politics in America over the last fifty years.
