On The Cover of The Rolling Stone




Like all good rock fans in their teens, I subscribed to Rolling Stone starting in 1976 when I was 17.
The Beatles, in various forms, hold the record for being on the cover 30 times, but The Grateful Dead and specifically Jerry Garcia hold a cool 18.

Even this "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr Hook youtube video with 5 million views greets you with the famous issue 148 animated Jerry



This are the covers of the Grateful Dead:
