He was an editor for the rock magazine '' Crawdaddy'' in the late 1970s and a senior editor for ''Rolling Stone'' magazine in the early 1980s, where he wrote an article detailing the destruction of Bob Hope's face in a logging accident when Hope was in his teens, accounting for Hope's unusual nose and jaw.
