Vintage issue # 67 of Rolling Stone magazine dated October 1, 1970 and featuring a classic cover of Felix Cavaliere and The Rascals.
The inside cover is of a tatoo artist inking a large spider on the curvy ass of a female client. Tattos for nuthin' and his chicks for free?
Besides the feature length cover story on the Rascals called The Blackest White Group Of All, the gonzo journalist himself, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, weighs in with a seminal piece entitled - are you ready for this - The Battle of Aspen Freak Power in the Rockies. You see, Mr. Thompson was a candidate for sheriff there....and....let's just say....the townsfolk were not necessarily embracing his candidacy.........Something about him not being able to enforce their drug laws because he would be too busy breaking them.
The music festival on the Isle of Wight in Britain receives extensive coverage as does the renaissance in the art of tattooing.
The column Random Notes is a fascinating time capsule which provides a glimpse of the events and perspectives of the time.
