Why read it?
2 authors picked Like a Rolling Stone as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A kind of cultural Zelig, Jann Wenner has observed, followed, and eventually helped lead (by, for example, founding the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame) the evolution of rock & roll music from the Acid Test/Grateful Dead era of his Bay Area youth, through his publication and half-century stewardship of Rolling Stone magazine, to his ultimate incarnation as a zillionaire political mover-and-shaker, first-name hobnobbing with the likes of Bill and Hillary, Michelle and Barak. This kiss-and-tell memoir invites us to witness that journey first-hand, and to spend candid time with the likes of John and Yoko, Paul and Linda, Mick,…
As the founder of Rolling Stone magazine, Jann recounts decades of being at the forefront of musical, film, and political history.

From David's list on emotionally available male celebrities.
