Vintage issue # 29 of Rolling Stone magazine dated March 15, 1969 and featuring the classic cover of Janis Joplin. Besides the excellent article on Joplin entitled Janis: The Judy Garland of Rock and Roll? there is a feature length article on the sport of roller derby called Nobody Loves Us But the Fans.
There are also good reads on Bob Dylan collaborating with Johnny Cash on songs for his new album, underground radio stations KMPX & KSAN, the new band Tomorrow, the passing of Meher Baba, The Incredible String Band, a bohemian group of performers called The Fool and country performers Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.
The column Random Notes is a fascinating time capsule which provides a glimpse of the events and perspectives of the time.
Album reviews are of Led Zeppelin I by Led Zeppelin, The Family That Plays Together by Spirit, Born To Be by Melanie, Shake! by The Siegel - Schwall Band and a few others.
Book reviews are of High Priest by Timothy Leary and his just released The Politics of Ecstasy. There's even a photo of him reading Rolling Stone - a rather nice endorsement at the time.
