Jann Wenner, who co-founded Rolling Stone magazine and was a co-founder of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has been removed from the hall’s board of directors after making comments that were seen as denigrating to black and female musicians.
“Jann Wenner has been removed from the Board of Directors of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation,” the hall said Saturday, a day after Wenner’s comments were published in a New York Times interview.
