“Jann Wenner has been removed from the Board of Directors of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation,” the hall said on Saturday, a day after Mr Wenner’s comments were published in a New York Times interview. A representative for Mr Wenner, 77, did not immediately respond for a comment. I mean, they just didn’t articulate at that level,” Mr Wenner said. He also co-founded the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, which was launched in 1987. In the interview, Mr Wenner seemed to acknowledge he would face a backlash.
