The Rolling Stone interviews - Jann Wenner [198]
You’re saying it’s a living thing?
It’s a plumb line for me. In the Scriptures, it is self-described as a clear pool that you can see yourself in, to see where you’re at, if you’re still enough. I’m writing a poem at the moment called “The Pilgrim and His Lack of Progress.” I’m not sure I’m the best advertisement for this stuff.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thanks to four decades of Rolling Stone editors and writers for making this book possible. Corey Seymour, Lesley Savage and Andy Greene researched the Rolling Stone archives to find the best Rolling Stone Interviews. Charles M. Young, Eric Bates and Sean Woods helped to edit those interviews.
