Jann Wenner Biography

Jann Wenner's brainstorm was to launch a national magazine with music as its main but not exclusive focus written by and for those who took rock and roll as seriously as it deserved. Wenner’s genius has been evident in the way he’s nurtured and sustained his protean creation over the decades. With Wenner at the helm Rolling Stone has tracked and adapted to changes in music and lifestyle reinventing itself whenever necessary to retain a vital and youthful focus. More than 35 years after its founding Rolling Stone remains the preeminent pop-culture periodical. Now everything is open to young people and their concerns and values: television newspapers books every medium imaginable.” Wenner’s musical overview was largely shaped by such artists as the Beatles Bob Dylan Simon and Garfunkel and the Grateful Dead. By the mid-Sixties rock music had begun evolving and maturing rapidly and Wenner provided a journalistic platform that reflected and even shaped these changes. Wenner himself also wrote articles columns and reviews for Rolling Stone and conducted incisive interviews with subjects ranging from John Lennon Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger to Bill Clinton Al Gore and Howard Dean.
