“Now all of a sudden, I was on the streets of Berkeley, in a world of radicals, Hell’s Angels, harmonica queens, drug dealers, and dope kings.”
Jann S. Wenner, Like a Rolling Stone: A Memoir

“I had asked Hunter once, when he was in a rare calm mood, 'Do you know when you're about to change? Are you aware of it?' Hunter said, 'Sandy, do you know what it's like? I'm just standing here, and I have a sense that something is about to happen. And then I start to turn my head, and it's here. The monster's here.”
Jann S. Wenner, Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson

“IN 1987, I went to Moscow with Yoko. Mikhail Gorbachev assembled a three-day international summit about nuclear disarmament and invited dignitaries from around the world.”
Jann S. Wenner, Like a Rolling Stone: A Memoir
