Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine by Joe Hagan

4.0

"You cannot make friends with the rock stars … I know. It sounds great. But they are not your friends. These are people who want you to write sanctimonious stories about the genius of the rock stars, and they will ruin rock and roll and strangle everything we love about it. They are trying to buy respectability for a form that is gloriously And righteously dumb. Now, you’re smart enough to know that. And the day it ceases to be dumb is the day that it ceases to be real, right? And then it just becomes an industry of…cool."

- Cameron Crowe, former Rolling Stone writer, 2000.

Wenner is the ultimate starfucker, who went from writing about rock stars to being their friend...and we are all worse off for it.
