Jann Wenner: Don't stop believin', hold on to that feelin'

Looks like Jann Wenner may be gunning his engines, loading his gun, and stacking the deck with MTV for a new reality show. Keith Kelly reports that Wenner and MTV are in talks to collaborate on an “Apprentice”-style show pitting wannabe rock journalists against each other as they fan out cross-country to cover stories in the hopes of getting an article published and landing the top spot: an editor’s gig. Getting high with groupies and roadies will presumably be done on candidates’ own time.

I’m sure there are more than a few readers out there who will relish Kelly’s lede: “This may be the role that Jann Wenner has prepped for his entire life — firing editors and writers.”
