There’s a wonderful novelistic tradition that goes back to the middle ages called the “picaresque†(picaro = Spanish for rogue) story, about a sometimes-lovable, mostly amoral audacious rascal from humble origins who has all kinds of crazy misadventures while navigating his way through a debased and corrupt society. The anti-hero of the picaresque seduces and betrays multiple consorts, wins and loses vast sums of money, has wild fights and generally annoys lots of people as he claws his way to whatever dream he is chasing, often then falling into infamy and disgrace. While popular with readers, these stories were met with scandal and even banishment by officials of the Catholic Church who preferred superhuman exploits and chivalric romance to vivid and realistic depictions of the ambitions, pleasures, deceptions, delinquencies and follies of real human beings.Now comes Jann Wenner stomping and staggering through Joe Hagan’s engrossing “Sticky Fingers†like a sex, drugs and celebrity-crazed combination of the dreamer Don Quixote, the con boy Tom Sawyer and the ambitious schemer Charles Foster Kane, his eyes locked on rock music itself as a treasure to be looted. Young Jann has a formative relationship with his fierce mother Sim who somehow knows to name her son after Janus, the two-faced god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time and duality. Jann goes on to invent mainstream rock journalism, become its self-appointed gatekeeper, and chronicle profoundly transitionary times. He is generous and cruel, brilliant and idiotic, straight and gay, true believer and cynic, seducer and betrayer. Hagan expertly tracks how Jann learns to combine his primal desires with his intuitive understanding of how to translate his lusts into words and images, which are then alchemized into fame, money and power. Along the way he collects a dysfunctional family of wild and reckless talents who believe in his vision while at the same time being tormented by his (and their own) contradictions: Jane Wenner, Hunter Thompson, Annie Liebowitz, Ben Fong-Torres, Cameron Crowe, Michael Hastings, Matt Taibbi and others, all with their own storylines that orbit the central character and flesh out the history.Hagan details Jann’s long arc from rock’s upstart rebel to its dictatorial strongman, at one point getting rid of the original founders of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and appointing himself a “one man Pravda of a deeply conservative rock culture", one of many calculated coups. The book meditates on the question of whether Jann is good or bad and arrives at a bittersweet brew of both. This constant balancing act between booster and backstabber gives us deeper insight into the moral dilemmas inherent within the relentless pursuit of success in celebrity, politics and art. It’s like looking at a massive, funny, tragic and surreal tableau of Jann & company staggering through the Twilight Zone paradise found in Samuel Taylor Coleridge opium-fueled poem “Kubla Khanâ€:“That with music loud and long,I would build that dome in air,That sunny dome! those caves of ice!And all who heard should see them there,And all should cry, Beware! Beware!His flashing eyes, his floating hair!Weave a circle round him thrice,And close your eyes with holy dreadFor he on honey-dew hath fed,And drunk the milk of Paradise.â€One minor quibble I have is that Hagan forgot to include one of Jann's most telling and contradictory moments, when he was yelled at by hundreds of Rush fans for a full minute as he tried to introduce the band – which he notoriously kept out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for 14 years - at their long-delayed 2013 induction. For once in his career as rock’s self-proclaimed spokesman, Jann was silenced by a hurricane squall of real music fans cheering their heroes while at the same time voicing their lurking suspicion that Jann tried to deny master musicians their place in rock history simply for not being sexy enough to Jann Wenner. In that moment, fans turned the tables on Jann's entire career boast, and it was glorious.Funny, insightful and surprisingly moving, Sticky Fingers is masterful storytelling from a real music fan who cuts through stage smoke and cocaine mirrors to reveal the complex man behind the curtain who tried to steal rock. Within its sprawling and honest spirit, this book steals it back.
Hagan does a fine job of finding a journalistic tone here, the book manages to make a case for Wenner's importance while undercutting much of what we typically think Wenner did with Rolling Stone. The details of the rise of Rolling Stone do Wenner no favors, he stumbles his way into publishing a magazine that was for about a decade or so actually important, though he often didn't seem to fully understand what he had and a lot of the fine work done in the magazine was done in spite of Wenner. Let's just say you are not on Wenner's side by the end of the book, he's arrogant, entitled, vindictive, no intellectual, and a sycophant of the first order. And Hagan makes a case that this is the real importance of Wenner, he was out in front of a me first culture that eventually transformed into a celebrity sycophantic culture that still reigns today. Wenner was always that way, he changed negative reviews of his rock star friends to please them, he begged and lied and cheated. And while he certainly suffered as a closeted man, he was no friend of gay culture and still isn't. The book does a fine job covering the central years of the magazine (think Hunter Thompson and Annie Leibowitz) and if you're interested in the magazine, there is plenty of dirt.
It’s no wonder Jann Wenner hates this book. It cuts close to the bone in its surgical dissection of one of the most clever, confounding figures in the history of The Baby Boom. The cover is dreadful, the title off topic even if it does accurately reflect Wenner’s love of lucre, but the reporting is magnificent, the missteps minor, the writing generally solid, and sometimes inspired, despite some purple passages. My only quibble—a sense that Hagen wasn’t an age peer and defaults to cliches in his pages on the mid Sixties—was quickly forgotten as we got onto turf on which he seemed more sure footed, and proved himself knowing and unafraid to speak truth about the powerful. I highly recommend it.
Hagan has written a well researched, slightly bitchy, but completely unvarnished look at Jann Wenner--his struggle with his sexuality, an ambivalent marriage, shady business practices and a total commitment to kissing the butt of every famous person with whom he ever crossed paths. While Wenner may have collaborated with the author, it is no wonder he hates the book. Sticky Fingers is an unflattering and unflinching portrait of a man who really just happened to have one good idea, who surrounded himself with smart talented people, then figured out step-by-step how to use everyone in his path to get rich/get laid/get in with the 'in' crowd. I am surprised Rolling Stone hasn't circled the drain sooner....
Quite a read! Wenner will hate this biography for obvious reasons. The author correctly points out that he is, in many ways, the mirror image of Donald Trump. They are each cruel narcissists and self-mythologizers. Granted, Wenner through the force of his personality as an editor, publisher and groupie, provided an amusing and at times profound running commentary of music and youth culture during the late 60s & early 70s in the pages of Rolling Stone. But he got fat and lazy fast! By the time the punk & disco eras arrived, he was clueless. Eventually, Rolling Stone fully morphed into a fawning enabler of the rubbish that passes for pop music in the 21st Century. But hey, Hagan’s book is a fun read. Enjoy!
