Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys, I'm a Democrat,
so being donkey of the day is a little bit
of a mixed so like a.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Donkey of the Day record club. Now I've been called
a lot of my twenty three years that donkey of
the day is a near wife.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yes, donkey today for Monday, September eighteenth, Oh Monday, it
goes the Yon Winner. Jan is the co founder Rolling
Stone magazine and he's seventy seven years old. Okay, when
you're seventy seven, you have the license to say whatever
you want, however you want to whoever you want, but
you are not exempt from the backlash. Are the consequences
of saying what the hell you want? I mean, there
are many consequences for a seventy seven year old anyway.
(00:43):
But Jan has been removed from the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame Foundations board after some criticism he got
for comments he made in the New York Times interview.
See Yan has a book coming out called The Masters,
which features interviews he conducted with artists such as John Lennon,
Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, just to name a few, and
some other people while at the Helm of Rolling Stone Magazine.
(01:03):
I think it's seven interviews all together, all white males,
and he spoke about his decision to not include interviews
with women and black artists to needless to say, the
conversation didn't go well. Let's go to NBC News for
your port police.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Rolling Stone Magazine co founder Yon Winner explains why he
only included white men in his new book The Masters.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Insofar as women, I mean, there were just none of
them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Oh stop it, you're telling you Jonay Mitchell is not
articulate enough. It's not that they're not creative geniuses.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It's not that they're inarticulate.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Although you go to have a deep conversation with Gray
Slick or Janis, please be my guest. Those comments, published
Friday from an interview with New York Times magazine, now
criticized as sexist and racist, you think the foundation Winner
helped create. Issuing a terse statement Saturday saying Jan Rinter
has been removed from the board of directors of the
(01:58):
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation overnight, Winner releasing
an apology. In my interview with The New York Times,
I made comments that diminished the contributions, genius and impact
of black and women artists, and I apologize wholeheartedly for
those remarks.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Jon said that black and women artists weren't articulate enough
on an intellectual level to be interviewed for his book
The Master stat Irony in this statement is Yon isn't
smart enough to not say this out loud. Okay, if
you feel that way, fine, you can't change it was
in a person's heart. But to speak this out loud, now, why?
All right? Fun fact, Tina Turner, black woman with the
(02:36):
second person ever on the cover of Rolling Stone, clearly
first woman, clearly, first black person on the second of
an issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, November twenty fifth, nineteen
sixty seven. John Lennon was the first. Now I know
Tina Turner is no longer with us, but I'm making
that point to say, clearly Yon understands the value of
black people and women and music. He just doesn't believe
intellectually we are capable of having a conversation about said music.
(03:01):
This is like racism one on one, Okay. The stereotype
of the dumb black right, all these false presumptions and
biases for years trying to prove that black people are
biologically and intellectually inferior to white people, and same with women.
You know, good old fashioned sexism wants women to believe
that they are dumbed in men. That's what's so stupid
about these comments Yon made. Not only are they rooted
in foolishness that can be easily debunked. He doesn't even
(03:23):
have an intellectual argument as to why he didn't put
black people in women in his book. Okay. In fact,
he said, for public relations sake, maybe I should have
gone and found one black and one woman artist to
include here that didn't measure up to that same historical standard,
just to avert this kind of criticism. That's not an
intellectual argument at all. It's just a racist and sexist one. Okay.
(03:44):
I need Yon to articulate to me, why do you
feel a woman and black people didn't deserve to be
in this book called Damasters. Stevie Wonder not a master
of his craft. Okay, if you ask me, Stevie Wonder
or run circles around everybody you got featured in this book.
There is no intellectual reason as to why Joni Mitchell
shouldn't be interviewed either, We probably could listen to both
of them Watx poetic about music for days. But Yon
(04:06):
can't because he already has preconceived prejudices about black people
and women. Okay, to Yon, Stevie Wonder and other black
people sound like this one.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
They talks, I am but an adult, and but these
but boys are with me.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
To Yan Joni Mitchell, and women sound like this when
they talk.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, eat his seds his.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, jan to us, you sound like this. That's right.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
