Table For Two, and Send a Drink From Me to Mick!
I've seen Fox News newsstands and Travel & Leisure stores selling luggage and travel tchotchkes at airports so I guess there's nothing that unusual about Rolling Stone magazine's plans to open a restaurant/bar/lounge/party venue in Los Angeles near the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
But would would the late Hunter Thompson have said?
The 10,000-square-feet entertainment center will be near Grauman's Chinese theater, and all I can think is that Jann Wenner watched enviously for a couple of decades as Hard Rock properties proliferated around the globe and figured it was time he cashed in on the rock memorabilia action, too.
Hey, if The Who can kill during halftime of the Super Bowl, why can't a magazine as old as Rolling Stone helmed by an old guy about my age, extend its brand and open a hip restaurant?
