All the News that’s fit to print . . . . . . . Disappointing heroes

JANN WENNER KICKED OFF 'ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME' BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 Always disappointing when we discover our great heroes and folk we admire turn out to have feet of clay . . . . . or be complete pillocks!

As if we needed any more of late . . . . . . 



A day after the publication of a New York Times interview in which Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner said that Black and female musicians “didn’t articulate at the level” of the white musicians featured in his new book of interviews, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced that he has been removed from its board of directors. 

“Jann Wenner has been removed from the Board of Directors of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation,” a terse statement from a rep reads in full; contacted by Variety, a rep for the Hall had no further comment.


How very disappointing!
