Rolling Stone magazine cofounder axed from Rock hall of fame board

The co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine has been axed from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame board - a museum he helped create - over inflammatory comments many have blasted as sexist and racist.

Jann Wenner created controversy when he suggested no female or black artists were 'articulate' enough to be included in his new book about the 'philosophers of rock' - one that profiles seven white male artists.

'Insofar as the women, just none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level... It’s not that they’re not creative geniuses,' Wenner suggested.
