Jann Wenner ousted from Rock Hall leadership over controversial remarks

Jann Wenner, co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine, has been removed from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation's board following backlash over controversial comments he made in a New York Times interview. Wenner faced criticism for his decision to exclude interviews with women and Black artists in his upcoming book, "The Masters," and for his remarks suggesting that they were not as articulate or on the same intellectual level as other artists. Wenner has since apologized for his comments, acknowledging their inflammatory nature.
