“Clapton, the Stones, Clapton, the Stones,” was the way a friend of mine recently characterized the magazine covers, for decades, after its start in 1967, when co-founder Jann Wenner was calling the editorial shots at what quickly became rock’n’roll’s bible. “They just didn’t articulate at that level,” Wenner told New York Times writer David Marchese about why no women or musicians of color were featured in his new book, The Masters, which collects his years of interviews with seven white men: Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan, Bono, John Lennon and Jerry Garcia.
