Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner has offered his apologies after saying that black and female musicians 바카라aren바카라t articulate enough바카라 to be added to his book.
The apology came on September 15 night, a few hours after the music writer was removed from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation바카라s board of directors.
In an interview with The New York Times 바카라 which was published online the night before, to promote his new book, 바카라The Masters바카라; Wenner said he didn바카라t include interviews with Black and female musicians in his book because they aren바카라t 바카라articulate바카라 enough.
Following this, he issued a 바카라wholehearted바카라 apology for his comments, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
바카라In my interview with The New York Times, I made comments that diminished the contributions, genius, and impact of Black and women artists and I apologise wholeheartedly for those remarks,바카라 he said in a statement given to The Hollywood Reporter.
바카라바카라The Masters바카라 is a collection of interviews I바카라ve done over the years that seemed to me to best represent an idea of rock 바카라n바카라 roll바카라s impact on my world; they were not meant to represent the whole of music and its diverse and important originators but to reflect the high points of my career and interviews I felt illustrated the breadth and experience in that career."
바카라They don바카라t reflect my appreciation and admiration for myriad totemic, world-changing artists whose music and ideas I revere and will celebrate and promote as long as I live. I totally understand the inflammatory nature of badly chosen words and deeply apologise and accept the consequences.바카라
Wenner바카라s book features interviews with such rock legends as Bono, Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Pete Townshend. However, it does not include any interviews with Black or female musicians.
Asked by The Times how he went on to choose the featured musicians, Wenner replied: 바카라When I was referring to the zeitgeist, I was referring to Black performers, not to the female performers, OK? Just to get that accurate.
바카라The selection was not a deliberate selection. It was kind of intuitive over the years; it just fell together that way. The people had to meet a couple criteria, but it was just kind of my personal interest and love of them. Insofar as the women, just none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level,바카라 he concluded.
Not long after the story was published, many readers of the famed music magazine-including journalists, went on to criticise Wenner on social media for his comments.
After that, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (R&RHOF) announced Wenner바카라s removal from the board with a simple statement: 바카라Jann Wenner has been removed from the Board of Directors of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.바카라
Wenner led Rolling Stone for five decades before stepping away in 2019. He also is a co-founder of the R&RHOF.
