Rolling Stone magazine issue # 96 November 25, 1971

Vintage issue # 96 of Rolling Stone magazine dated November 25, 1971 and featuring a classic cover illustration by Ralph Steadman that accompanies the conclusion of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - A Savage Journey into the Heart of the American Dream by Hunter S. Thompson.

Here's the section of the piece that was the inspiration for the illustration: "The sight of a 344 pound police chief from Waco, Texas, necking openly with his 290 pound wife when the lights were turned off for a Dope film was just barely tolerable......"

Toooo funny!
