The Untold Story Of Rolling Stone

Joe Hagan joins us to discuss his new book Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. Hagan tells the story of Jann Wenner, the founder of  Rolling Stone magazine, and details how the magazine took shape among the rock and roll, politics and media of the 1960s. Using previously unreleased letters and documents from Wenner's archives, Hagan shows how the upstart magazine established itself and has remained relevant to this day.
