Rolling Stone magazine has been the premier chronicler of rock and roll for 30 years. For artists and entertainers, nothing tops a Rolling Stone cover, where every other week a new legend is born or a familiar face is given a fresh spin. Now, for the first time, all 728 covers are gathered into one fantastic book.The undisputed stars? Mick Jagger (19 covers by himself and with the Stones), Bob Dylan (13), Bruce Springsteen (11 ), John Lennon (9, plus 9 with the Beatles). Other major players include Jerry Garcia (13), Madonna (9), Tina Turner (8), and Eric Clapton (7), and there are hundreds of cameos, from a young O. J. Simpson to Beck and Jewel. Some covers are moving, especially those commemorating fallen idols ("Kurt Cobain 1967-1994"); others are deliberately provocative (Jim Morrison: "He's Hot, He's Sexy, and He's Dead").
