This is a wonderful breakdown of Wenner's problematic history. The chart is staggering. His comments aren't new and the years of going unchecked made his ego so huge that these consequences won't be enough. The book will make him money. His legacy, in his mind, is still intact. He's literally out there telling people that he has the power to change the world. On his press tour, he said this: " I’m exuberant like Bono, and we’re gonna save the world tomorrow. I’m like deep, thoughtful Bruce, and we’re gonna save the world tomorrow. And with Mick, we’re gonna go out dancing."
Thank you for doing the work of amplifying the voices of women.
Thank you for reading the article and your thoughtful comments. I had not seen the press statement, but it’s not surprising. I do appreciate that there are now consequences to the statements he made about women-- perhaps a new generation of journalists will help share a more accurate historical history as awareness grows. I love what you’re doing to support a diverse music industry-- carry on! 🎶🤘🏻
Thank you for delving deeper into this issue and controversy with The Masters. I was deeply disappointed. And on a brighter note, LOVE coloring contest winner.

We love the contest winner announcement! Can’t wait for the next one.
This article makes me wonder what “the face” of rock and roll would look like now if RS featured more women and POC in the ‘60s - ‘80s.
