So this is pretty freaky - I posted this set of thoughts on white male ego and The Rock Canon on Twitter just hours before the Wenner interview dropped.... must have been something buzzing in the ether... https://twitter.com/joemuggs/status/1702428656436691358
Every single one of these “masters” got their degrees in rock and roll from Black musicians - Sister Rosetta, Chuck, Little Richard. Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney got their literal break from Little Richard. I’m happy that there is a real consequence to Wenner’s words. As a queer, female music journalist, this comes as no surprise. My entire Substack is dedicated to the stories that so many straight, white, male writers erase from history.
