Wenner was, to put it plainly, the star-fucker who always traded up -- the ultimate name-dropper who finally became a bigger name in the tabs than many of the stars he worshiped.
Jann's long, strange trip here, to the center of his own conspicuous universe, began a continent away and three decades ago, in a rundown warehouse in the old printer's district in San Francisco's South of Market area, a few short gestational months after the Haight-Ashbury's Summer of Love in 1967.
Wenner's mentor in this new world of publishing was an older music critic named Ralph Gleason; most of the money for the risky venture came from the family of his wife, Jane Schindelheim Wenner, a dark-haired, fine-boned beauty who was rarely seen at the magazine, but whose presence was always felt in its formative years.

  Jann S. Wenner
Wenner’s brainstorm was to launch a national magazine with music as its main but not exclusive focus, written by and for those who took rock and roll as seriously as it deserved.
Wenner’s musical overview was largely shaped by such artists as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, and the Grateful Dead.
Wenner described Rolling Stone as “sort of a magazine and sort of a newspaper.” Prior to its launching, Wenner had worked as a journalist for NBC News and Ramparts magazine, and he brought a stringent professionalism that set Rolling Stone apart from other counterculture publications of its time.

Jann Wenner Can't Always Get What He Wants (But, Presumably, He Gets What He Needs)
Consensus seems to be that it was fun but not as celebrity-laden as Jann would have wanted; the Strokes were good but they were basically the extent of the music; the gift bags sucked; and Jann had a good time.
As a matter of fact, the last time I saw Jann he was dancing by himself during the Strokes set, diminutive, presumably drunk, and covered in Mardi Gras-style beads.
