Like a Rolling Stone

Jann Wenner founded Rolling Stone at the height of the 1960s counterculture and used it to shape how America understood rock music, politics, and generational change for decades. In this memoir, he draws on personal friendships with Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Bono, and Bruce Springsteen, and recounts discovering writers like Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe and photographer Annie Leibovitz.

Wenner traces his journey from music journalism to political influence, including his magazine's historic interviews with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, offering both a personal account and a portrait of an entire cultural era.
