🎬 Jonathan Cott — Hollywood Legend

Jonathan Cott (born December 24, 1942) is an American author, journalist, and editor. Much of his work focuses on music, embracing both classical and rock. He has been a contributing editor at Rolling Stone since the magazine's founding, and has written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, and other publications. Cott grew up in New York City, the son of television executive Ted Cott and Jean Cahan. He recalled a formative experience: “At the age of thirteen—filled with typical adolescent turmoil and angst—I heard Glenn Gould’s recording of the Goldberg Variations and attained what I took to be a moment of musical, emotional, and spiritual enlightenment.” He would later interview Gould for Rolling Stone. He received a B.A. from Columbia University in 1964, and an M.A. from The University of California, Berkeley in 1966. He spent the late 1960s in London, where he began a long friendship with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Cott was the last journalist to interview Lennon, three days before his death. In 1970, he became a contributing editor at Rolling Stone, where he specialized in interviews, many of which were later collected in his 2020 book Listening. Writer Jan Morris called him "an incomparable interviewer," and Studs Terkel is quoted as saying that "Jonathan Cott, as an interviewer, reveals truths of creative spirits." Cott wrote often about Bob Dylan, eventually producing two books about Dylan.
