- Abstract
The article discusses the meaning of gender and ethnicity as it relates to the ideals of the social equality movement of the 1960's as represented in the images depicted on the cover of "Rolling Stone" magazine over a period of 40 years. The role of popular music as a form of "social cement" where audiences see their central values reflected in music artists that allow young people to distance themselves from the adult world and form their own identities is explored. The significance of magazine covers as the products of editorial decisions to serve as symbols of cultural identifiers is discussed. Research into how "Rolling Stone" magazine represented males, females, and ethnic groups on its cover is presented.
