While I'm not thrilled with the hyper commercial direction of Rolling Stone, Mr. Wenner's visceral anger toward the Bush administration matches my own, and I'm glad he speaks out.

Love the earlier conversation with the story about the origins of the table.

Good morning Mr. Rose, As usual you had an interesting and probing interview with the publisher/creator of "Rolling Stone." He's an interesting man and totally outside my scope of experience as a classical musician, so it was interesting to listen to his describe his passion for rock music and express his ideas about the world and life in general--a very interesting, thoughtful man. I'm not sure that you were aware of it, but it certainly seemed that you must be, but every time he mentioned his gay life, which he did several times, you avoided the topic entirely. Given that this man has had such a rich experience in life, it would have been interesting to hear more about this aspect of his life. It must have been jolting, to say that least, after having been married for so many years, yet it seems to have come to a very positive conclusion given his description of integrated family life which included his current partner, his new child and his wife. As a gay man I can only assume that others like myself would have appreciated hearing more about what that transition was like for him.

Thanks for your program. It's facscinating learning about the lives of individuals in the world who have such impact in so many interesting and critical areas. How DO you remember all those things. Would also be nice to see some famous classical singers, or maybe semi-famous singers who forge their way through a pop culture world, often for little or no money.

Thanks,

Richard Fey, San Francisco
