1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys, I'm a Democrat,

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: so being donkey of the day is a little bit

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: of a mixed so like a.

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: Donkey of the Day record club. Now I've been called

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: a lot of my twenty three years that donkey of

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: the day is a near wife.

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: Yes, donkey today for Monday, September eighteenth, Oh Monday, it

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: goes the Yon Winner. Jan is the co founder Rolling

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Stone magazine and he's seventy seven years old. Okay, when

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: you're seventy seven, you have the license to say whatever

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: you want, however you want to whoever you want, but

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: you are not exempt from the backlash. Are the consequences

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: of saying what the hell you want? I mean, there

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: are many consequences for a seventy seven year old anyway.

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: But Jan has been removed from the Rock and Roll

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Foundations board after some criticism he got

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: for comments he made in the New York Times interview.

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: See Yan has a book coming out called The Masters,

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: which features interviews he conducted with artists such as John Lennon,

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, just to name a few, and

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: some other people while at the Helm of Rolling Stone Magazine.

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: I think it's seven interviews all together, all white males,

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: and he spoke about his decision to not include interviews

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: with women and black artists to needless to say, the

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: conversation didn't go well. Let's go to NBC News for

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: your port police.

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: Rolling Stone Magazine co founder Yon Winner explains why he

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: only included white men in his new book The Masters.

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: Insofar as women, I mean, there were just none of

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level.

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Oh stop it, you're telling you Jonay Mitchell is not

32
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: articulate enough. It's not that they're not creative geniuses.

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: It's not that they're inarticulate.

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: Although you go to have a deep conversation with Gray

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: Slick or Janis, please be my guest. Those comments, published

36
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: Friday from an interview with New York Times magazine, now

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: criticized as sexist and racist, you think the foundation Winner

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: helped create. Issuing a terse statement Saturday saying Jan Rinter

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: has been removed from the board of directors of the

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation overnight, Winner releasing

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: an apology. In my interview with The New York Times,

42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: I made comments that diminished the contributions, genius and impact

43
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: of black and women artists, and I apologize wholeheartedly for

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 2: those remarks.

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: Jon said that black and women artists weren't articulate enough

46
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: on an intellectual level to be interviewed for his book

47
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: The Master stat Irony in this statement is Yon isn't

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: smart enough to not say this out loud. Okay, if

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: you feel that way, fine, you can't change it was

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: in a person's heart. But to speak this out loud, now, why?

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: All right? Fun fact, Tina Turner, black woman with the

52
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: second person ever on the cover of Rolling Stone, clearly

53
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: first woman, clearly, first black person on the second of

54
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: an issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, November twenty fifth, nineteen

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: sixty seven. John Lennon was the first. Now I know

56
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Tina Turner is no longer with us, but I'm making

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: that point to say, clearly Yon understands the value of

58
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: black people and women and music. He just doesn't believe

59
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: intellectually we are capable of having a conversation about said music.

60
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: This is like racism one on one, Okay. The stereotype

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: of the dumb black right, all these false presumptions and

62
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: biases for years trying to prove that black people are

63
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: biologically and intellectually inferior to white people, and same with women.

64
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: You know, good old fashioned sexism wants women to believe

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: that they are dumbed in men. That's what's so stupid

66
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: about these comments Yon made. Not only are they rooted

67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: in foolishness that can be easily debunked. He doesn't even

68
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: have an intellectual argument as to why he didn't put

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: black people in women in his book. Okay. In fact,

70
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: he said, for public relations sake, maybe I should have

71
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: gone and found one black and one woman artist to

72
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: include here that didn't measure up to that same historical standard,

73
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: just to avert this kind of criticism. That's not an

74
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: intellectual argument at all. It's just a racist and sexist one. Okay.

75
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: I need Yon to articulate to me, why do you

76
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: feel a woman and black people didn't deserve to be

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: in this book called Damasters. Stevie Wonder not a master

78
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: of his craft. Okay, if you ask me, Stevie Wonder

79
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: or run circles around everybody you got featured in this book.

80
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: There is no intellectual reason as to why Joni Mitchell

81
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: shouldn't be interviewed either, We probably could listen to both

82
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: of them Watx poetic about music for days. But Yon

83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: can't because he already has preconceived prejudices about black people

84
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: and women. Okay, to Yon, Stevie Wonder and other black

85
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: people sound like this one.

86
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: They talks, I am but an adult, and but these

87
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: but boys are with me.

88
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: To Yan Joni Mitchell, and women sound like this when

89
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: they talk.

00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, eat his seds his.
