Today marks an important anniversary in music journalism history. On Nov. 9, 1967, the first-ever issue of Rolling Stone was released. The mag, known for its provocative covers of musicians, celebrities, and politicians, is officially 53 years old! The musical program Magical Mondays decided to celebrate this rockin’ milestone by asking Twitter users: what would be on your Rolling Stone cover?
@Karminatarian here with @quickbear & we have a #MondayMorning fun fact for you. The first issue of @RollingStone was issued on this day in 1967! Magical! Tell us what’s on your cover with the tag:#OnTheCoverOfMyRollingStone
