Cover of the new issue.
"Remembering Adam Yauch 1964-2012" at the top. A photo of Peter fucking Dinklage on the cover, where the photo of Adam should have been.

(7,570 posts)So they were white kids who rapped. BFD. Blondie did it before them. And why no love for Vanilla Ice?
On the other hand, de gustibus non est disputandum.
That having been said, Dinklage IS awesome. And Rolling Stone hasn't been relevant in nearly 40 years, so it doesn't really matter anyway.

(95,337 posts)Whitney Houston was pretty huge and so was Michael Jackson - those were the last 2 people who got the cover of RS after their death.
Whitney has sold like 170million albums and Michael Jackson has sold close to 300millions so the 40million albums doesn't even come close (what the Beastie Boys have sold).
And although the Beastie Boys were a huge influence with spreading hip-hop and rap into new markets they hardly were groundbreaking like Nirvana, who started a musical movement.
Personally, I don't watch Game of Thrones but Peter Dinkaledge has done alot to show that a person of limited height can not only do well in Hollywood but even be a leading man.

I never heard of Adam until his death, and I don't hear him complaining. He's lucky he didn't get bumped by Sendak.
