In this clip from last night’s episode of The Colbert Report, Jann Wenner shows up to plug the fortieth-anniversary issue of Rolling Stone. Not only does the shaggy Jann-Jann shamelessly play to the boomers with a “Dylan for President” joke, he responds to Stephen Colbert’s query about the state of rock n’ roll by meagerly invoking Prince, John Mayer and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Somewhere, a stung Mark Knopfler is firing off a mean-spirited email.
