Is it my imagination, or have the Kinks _never_ been featured on the cover of Rolling Stone? ---

Amazingly enough, no. Rolling Stone has put the Incredible Hulk, Tricia Nixon, Jenny McCarthy, Bill Clinton, David Letterman, E.T., Beavis & Butthead (3 times!), and the naked asses of John, Jim, and Jennifer on its cover, but never the Kinks. The closest they’ve ever come is Ray Davies’ ex-wife, Chrissie Hynde. ---
