What's Hot!
Slated for release on November 9th is 20 Years Of Rolling Stone: What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been, edited by Jann S. Wan* nar. The release date is timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the magazine founded by Ralph Qlaasan and Jann S. Wenner and will—according to publicists—“cover memorable impressions ranging from Woodstock to Watergate, Vietnam to Kent State, Manson to Silkwood, Lennon to Springsteen.” And the folks at R.S., which is edited by Jann S. Wenner, will keep churning out commemorative issues of their mag: four in all, the last one to be turned into a two-hour radio special. Had enough? Well, an ABC television special is also in the works. It will be co-produced by Lama Mlchaals and Jann S. Wenner. It’ll be great.
By the way, Boy Howdy is now available in longnecks.
