Jann Wenner launched his revolutionary new title in 1967 when he was 21 and has finally written his memoir, Like A Rolling Stone. He talks here about marshalling the talents of his hot-headed (unpaid) writers on the early editions, his research mission to Swinging London in ’66, personal friendships with Jagger and Dylan, his stunning ‘Lennon Remembers’ interview in 1970, the Patty Hearst story that was the magazine’s “scoop of the decade” - a piece “so frigging hot” that copies were ferried from the printers in sealed containers - and the time Hunter S Thompson apparently injected himself in the stomach with grapefruit juice. Anyone who’s ever read Rolling Stone – all of us? - would love this book, a fizzing account of life at the music press coalface, the world inhabited by its superstars and the big political events in America at the time.
