The cover is pretty cool, done in a Sgt Pepper theme, and with a 3d effect, which is impossible to represent here:  |

What does this offensive update mean historically in this "political" magazine?
Yeah, I'll get political.
How hip, cool and trendy: they've got SSouth Park's Kenn(ed)y there, the small child who hilariously gets viciously killed each epsiode of the cartoon series. No wonder the young "Team America" US soldiers seem to have such an easy time of killing Iraqi children.
Bushes friend and cohort Bono's right there in the front row; in the July 2005 G8/World Bank-boosting concert that he and Faul headlined, they had a giant Sgt. Pepper imitating telescreen behind the stage, with Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the figures. Then London was bombed, again boosting the G8, Bush and Blair.
There are no flowers or dolls in front, and no blue sky, but there are chemtrails.
It says at the bottom a play on the New York Times slogan "All the news that fits," a smirking reference to Rolling Stone being another "hip" disinformation and psy-ops vehicle?
Kurt Cobain is up there as an "angel" (!), looking somewhat like a blond, Germanic Charles Manson, and who is that as the flying Satan, Hunter Thompson?
This thing is evil. "How does it feel? ... like a rolling stone"

Sgt Pepper was original, this is a cheap imitation. Just another information agent to subvert and pervert minds.

At least Wenner had the decency to depict JPM rather than FAUL.

Wenner has been sucking up to Lennon/Ono since he was barely out of short pants...

I was told that they reprinted the photos of John/Yoko that were taken the day he was murdered. Can someone please scan & post that part of the magazine ?
