In 2003, in celebration of the magazine’s 35th anniversary, Rolling Stone published our first edition of American Icons. The aim, as ever in our coverage, was to highlight the people, inventions, and images that define our times. Some endure, others vanish, but a few make such a profound human connection it is impossible to imagine what life was like without them. Instantly recognizable, venerated, and inimitable, these are some of the icons that transformed our world then — and still reverberate today.
T here was a lot going on in the late-Sixties and Seventies. I was very involved, doing a lot of marching. There was a lot of inequality, and it needed to be fixed. I’ve always been one for love, honesty, and kindness. Fairness. All of these things still mean a great deal to me, as much as they did when I was a kid. Growing up in Chicago, I was engulfed in all that action that was going on — from Martin Luther King to Farrakhan, everybody who was making sense, I was listening. Trending Stories In high school, I…
P robably nothing in American life has been over-intellectualized so often — or so preciously — as the baseball field. Depending on which writer, academic, or theologian you listen to, the diamond symbolizes the journey that leads you away from home and back to it … or the accretion of life’s failures in pursuit of occasional triumph … or the selflessness of sacrifice … or the narrative of exile and return. The late A. Bartlett Giamatti, a Yale president who went on to serve as baseball commissioner in the late 1980s, compared the baseball field to a garden-like paradise, and…
THE living in the United States today is to be fundamentally misunderstood, and the road trip is no different. That's not a bad thing. Here's an example. It's 2021, and I'm driving Peanut the Wonder Dog from the Pacific Northwest to my mother-in-law's in Montreal. We've traveled this road many times over the past 12 years, sharing burgers in Ogallala, Nebraska, and submitting to a German shepherd somewhere near Green Bay, who ran the rest stop like a shogun-era warlord. Now, a dozen dog years have taken their toll, and I must lift her in and out of a rented…
TO a born-and-bred kid from the Bronx, the bodega was like the United Nations to me. Bodegas are central locations, landmarks, meeting grounds. You know how the old-school Westerns got the general store? The bodega is like that. Whether you call it the dads store, ahki store, bodega, or corner store, it means the same thing. The bodega is owned by real people who live in your building, across the street, or down the block. It was cultural representation before representation was the thing. It's also a generational thing, 'cause you'll see a grandfather pass a bodega down to his…
B ob Dylan had a term for protest songs back when he was writing them. As deeply poetic as they are, he called them finger-pointing songs. “Masters of War” was the ultimate finger-pointing song. “Blowin' in the Wind” was one too. I think a lot of people have sung that song never even realizing it was a protest song. They didn't think of it that way. The first time I ever wrote anything political was probably “Christmas in Washington.” When I wrote that, I was connecting with Woody Guthrie because he was a socialist. When he was writing, a lot…

Albert Hammond Jr has described The Strokes’ new album as “intoxicatingly good” and his “favourite” thing they have ever done – following some fans criticising their latest singles. The New York indie icons started teasing new music earlier this year, hinting to fans that they would “be in touch” about a new release, before later confirming new album ‘Reality Awaits’. The record will mark the highly anticipated follow-up to 2020’s ‘The New Abnormal’ and is set to arrive on June 26 (pre-order here). So far, they have previewed it with the chic lead single ‘Going Shopping’ and the nostalgic track…
