Bob Dylan expressed his support for disgraced Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner during a concert in New York City on Thursday night.
Dylan rarely speaks during his shows, but he felt compelled to shout out Wenner towards the end of his gig at the Beacon Theatre. “All right, l’d like to say hello to Jann Wenner, who’s in the house. Jann Wenner, surely everybody’s heard of him,” Dylan said.
“Anyway, he just got booted out of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame – and we don’t think that’s right. We’re trying to get him back in.”
In September, Wann was removed from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Board of Directors after making derogatory remarks about Black and female artists. Specifically, Wenner came under fire for comments he made to the New York Times in an interview promoting his new book The Masters.
