The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation removed Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner after making controversial comments on Black and female musicians.
Jann Wenner was removed from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in what many considered a response to his recent comments about Black and female musicians.
"When I was referring to the zeitgeist, I was referring to Black performers, not to the female performers, OK? Just to get that accurate. The 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," Wenner said.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation released a short statement removing Jann Wenner from the board.
