Sticky Fingers The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine

The story of Jann Wenner, Rolling Stone's founder, editor, and publisher, is an insider's trip through the backstages of storied concert venues, rock-star hotel rooms, and the political ups and downs of the latter half of the twentieth century, right up through the digital age: connecting the counterculture of Haight Ashbury to the 'straight world. Supplemented by a cache of extraordinary documents and letters from Wenner's personal archives, 'Sticky Fingers' is the story of a mercurial, wide-eyed rock and roll fan of ambiguous sexuality but unambiguous ambition who reinvents youth culture, marketing the libertine world of the late sixties counterculture in a stylish, glossy package that would stand for decades as a testament to the cultural power of American youth.
