Jimi Hendrix Covers
September 18 marks the 40th anniversary of the death of rock guitarist supreme Jimi Hendrix, who passed away at the age of 27. He was only on a handful of Rolling Stone covers before his death, but since then countless music magazine covers have featured his iconic image. We love just about any Hendrix cover; here are some of our favorites.
The Rolling Stone cover (2nd row, 3rd col) is a classic. Its the only RS cover I know of where the logo has been covered up only to read "Roll one". Accident???
There's an early (August 12 1976) Marley RS cover with the logo strategically covered. It's a little more subtle because his dreads don't obscure completely. But even more appropriate I would think!
