Like a Rolling Stone: A Memoir

Love it. And it's a signed copy!

Jann's memoir has so much great inside info on how RS came to be. It is a long book, but each chapter was a special step on the total journey. Very well written and a piece of cultural history here only he could share.So glad he wrote it, and it's a book to buy and cherish. Read it and enjoy.

What can I say, I'm 70 years old and somewhat of a contemporary to Jann Wnner. I had a Rolling Stone subscription at one point but, had to drop it as a poor student. Then life catches up with you, marriage, kids, etc.Jann has lived an incredible life, he actually knew personally many of the folks I consider my heroes. It is sad to see how many of them have now passed which serves as a mark for how old I'm also getting.I only wish that as a generation we had accomplished more. Looking at the world, in its current state, does not fill me with optimism of what is to come. I fear for my kids!

.... de ses nombreux amis : Obama, Springsteen, Bono, Mick Jagger, Ahmet Ertegun, et aussi Jackson Browne. C'est très bien écrit (la moindre des choses pour celui qui a contribué à l’éclosion du nouveau journalisme US), souvent intéressant et parfois un peu elliptique ou s'adressant à ceux qui ont croisé la route du fondateur de Rolling Stone.Reste un paradoxe majeur : Wenner, qui se dit horrifié par les conséquences du réchauffement climatique et se vante d'être l’un des hérauts de la prise de conscience de ses conséquences, raconte à longueur de pages ses déplacements dans son jet et ses constants allers et retours de l'autre côté du globe pour assister à un concert des Stones. Mais l'homme n'est pas à une contradiction près, comme me le racontait tout récemment l'un de ses derniers rédacs chefs, Will Dana...

Before Zuckerberg, before Dorsey, before Musk, young people were crazy enough to start amazing projects. Like Virgin (Branson), like Beatles (Lennon, McCartney), like Grateful Dead and on and on and. Like Jann Wenner, who started Rolling Stone at 21 yrs.Gen Z youngsters think they are unique. Many Gen Z people were born in centuries before them, many more will come in the future.Like a Rolling Stone is a remarkable life story, anyone on a “mission” should read.

Loved RS mag in the 70s and 80s ,expected a far more entertaining read.
