Riassunto

For the past fifty years, Rolling Stone has been a leading voice in journalism, cultural criticism, and—above all—music.

From the 1960s to the present day, the book offers a decade-by-decade exploration of American music and history.

Recensione:

'Rock out and read this landmark book celebrating Rolling Stones 50th birthday. Documenting the magazine's rise from humble beginnings in a tiny office in San Francisco, the book includes interviews with artists such as Bob Dylan, the Beastie Boy (pictured) and Adele, images from iconic photographers including Annie Leibovitz and sparking prose from the likes of Hunter S. Thompson. Each page makes it easy to see why every budding musician dreams of gracing its cover.' --Daily Mail

'A book that's weighty in every sense of the word. If aliens ever visited Earth and wanted to know what's been happening you d be hard-pushed to find a better, more meaningful and comprehensive starting point. In fact, you should order this book immediately just in case at the very least it'll improve your own life somewhat. Here's to the next 50 years.' Shortlist

'A voice of the counterculture, Rolling Stone has never hidden its liberal politics. The music and the belief system went together for those 1960s kids. In a way it's why it still stands out today as the world has lurched to the right in the last few years. Even now, Rolling Stone still believes in rock n roll. Someone has to.' --The Herald

'Jann Wenner dreamt of capturing the revolution in print. What a time to be 21 and footloose in a beautiful city bursting with music, he writes in a new book, 50 Years of Rolling Stone. Rock n roll was the tribal telegraph, and the only places you could get it were on the radio, in a record store or on the jukebox.' The Times

'this book is an irresistible and essential keepsake of the magazine that has defined American music for generations of readers.' --Creative Boom
