Sticky fingers
Joe Hagan | Neo Sounds | 2019
Sex, drugs and rock and roll. The well-worn formula works perfectly to define the life of Jann Wenner, magazine founder Rolling Stone. The life of someone who was never interested in music as a child but who knew how to reflect the youth culture of the rock, sexual liberation, drugs and music as the driving force of a generation, always staying ahead of new trends. A visionary who, after the summer of love 1967 in San Francisco, with alone 21 years and gathering 7.500 dollars, He started a project with which he ended up rubbing shoulders with characters like John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Truman Capote, Paul McCartney o Bob Dylan. And he ended up turning the publication into an empire beyond the physical borders of his country., and himself, in a tycoon who accumulated luxury houses and traveled by private plane.
A somewhat egocentric and ambitious character who managed to make rock an entire institution. And all that goes a long way: addictions, orgies, controversies, important economic operations or unbridled parties. A succession of ups and downs in his life narrated after long hours of interviews with the protagonist and those close to him., and four years immersing himself in his most personal archive of letters, unreleased recordings, private photos and documents. Details that Joe Hagan does not make up, which has led to a disagreement with the person who commissioned him to write his own biography., but that reveals to us an unrepeatable icon of the music press.
