Fact: The cover of the very first issue of Rolling Stone magazine featured an image of John Lennon from his film How I Won the War. Lennon would appear on the cover two more times within the first ten issues, beginning his rapid rise as one of the most frequently featured figures in the magazine’s storied history. In that debut issue, the editors explained that the magazine’s title was inspired by three sources: Muddy Waters’ 1950 blues song “Rollin’ Stone,” the rock band the Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan’s iconic single “Like a Rolling Stone.”
