S Sometimes I think I only worked to have this career so I could get to be on late-night talk shows. I grew up in the 1970s, a time when late-night guests were both the new, cutting-edge people and people from previous eras, going back all the way to Broadway and even silent-film stars. That was my first peek at showbiz, where all of these entertainers told me about their world — Bob Hope, Sly and the Family Stone, Dolly Parton, Sammy Davis Jr., Robert Klein. After school, I could watch Dinah Shore and Mike Douglas. Then in the evenings,…
B ack in the day, I was occasionally blamed for ushering in an era of “transgressive” comics. If I had, I was hardly alone — R. Crumb got there first — but chief among my early detractors was Charles M. Schulz. My boyhood idol dismissed the topical subject matter that interested me as “low-hanging fruit,” perishable and cheap. He once said that most of the comic strips young hopefuls sent him for advice in the Seventies were drawn in the style of Doonesbury, and he didn't mean it as a compliment. In his view, not only had I disrupted the…
TO mtrak is a funny word that all too often is used as a punchline. The redheaded stepchild of American transportation. But as a redhead myself, I love the runty Little Engine That Could. I love an underdog, and Amtrak is the true underdog of getting around. After I did my audition for Saturday Night Live and it was time to go home to Nashville, I took Amtrak. I bought a coach-class ticket to Birmingham, Alabama, 25 hours from New York. Don't do that. Get a private room on overnights. I can't stress that enough. Anyway, on the train, I…

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…
