How a Texan journalist detailed 1970s culture ⌨️

The Texan journalist Grover Lewis had the Dallas Times Herald, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and, yes, Houston Chronicle before landing at Rolling Stone.

Lewis often butted heads with the founding editor,, Jann Wenner, who he felt was "a brat and a groupie."
