This development follows an interview with Wenner in The New York Times where he discussed his upcoming book, «The Masters,» featuring interviews with exclusively white male musicians, including Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, and Bono. The interviewer questioned Wenner about the absence of interviews with women or individuals from diverse backgrounds in the book. Jann Wenner, co-founder of Rolling Stone, issued an apology in response to the controversy surrounding his comments about Black and female musicians not being «articulate» enough to be featured in his new book. This apology was made on Saturday night, shortly after the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation announced his removal from its board of directors. Wenner stated that he formed his opinion based on his personal intuition and his observations from interviews and music listening. He further acknowledged that he might have included a Black musician and a female musician in his book purely for public relations reasons to prevent criticism.

Last week, the Stones released the single, 'Angry', from their forthcoming album, Hackney Diamonds — their 26th studio album and with new material after 18 years — due for release on October 20.

When astronomers started observing the asteroid several hours after the impact, they found that the orbit had indeed shortened—in fact, Nasa reports a reduction of about 32 minutes, to about 11 hours and 23 minutes.

But just as working has become synonymous with being chained to a desk (or kitchen table), sitting has been deemed “unhealthy." While some designers, disrupting convention, are creating standing and treadmill desks that dispense with sitting altogether, there’s a middle ground: so-called “active chairs," that employ a range of strategies to make the act of sitting not so sedentary.

It isn’t a good sign when a restaurant chain’s investors ask management about the effect of Social Security checks on its future prospects. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store has long thrived on its unique formula and down-home charm.
