This guy is entrenched in his own sexism and racism, and when it’s pointed out, he deflects and defends it with denials and faux erudite bullshit as if he’s somehow elevated by it.
Ugh, fuck off. You’re not some arbiter of music intellectualism, and you just proved it to the world in a handful of sentences. All he managed to do here is to undermine his and his publications credibility. 
This racist misogynist's comments aside, hassn't that always been the primary motivation of the magazine, promotion of rock/pop? Is that supposed to be an insult or derogatory?
I don't understand what you mean. We solved sexism and racism, didn't you hear? These are no longer problems that actually exist in the world and we're all just whining about nothing.
I think you mean “defunding” and I agree. Plenty of black and female artists made excellent work in that space and it sounds like her book may be one of the dying cries of her bigoted generation’s values.
I guess Wenner is such a fan of these guys that he’s lost all perspective. I mean, I’m a big Stones fan myself, and I think Mick Jagger is pretty clearly a smart guy, but a philosopher?
