Detailed data collection of Rolling Stone magazine

Rolling Stone magazine is a bimonthly magazine in the United States, focusing on popular culture. 1967 In September, Jann Wenner, a prospective student at the University of California, fell in love with rock music and led a group of young people to typeset, print and quarrel day and night in the attic of a broken printing house in San Francisco. On September 30th, 40,000 music tabloids with John Lennon as the cover were published. They call it a rolling stone. No one expected that this music tabloid, which sold only 6,000 copies in the first issue, would participate in and even create the whole history of rock music in the next 30 years by constantly capturing the classic moments of rock music. Every issue of Mandarin is different.

Basic Introduction Chinese Name: Rolling Stone mbth: Rolling Stone Language: National Language Category: Magazine Publication Date:1July 5, 954 Publication Date: Bimonthly originated in the attic of a broken printing house in San Francisco. Founder: University of California dropout Jane Wenner's date of birth, historical starting point, Elvis Presley, past cover, honesty, record history, past witness, Brilliant rock, Chinese version, date of birth "Memphis recording studio looks no different from before, but1July 5, 954, rock music was born here." Rolling Stone magazine announced the exact birth date of rock music with this sentence in the special issue of "50 Moments to Change Rock Music". That night was regarded as an accident: Elvis Presley, a truck driver from Mississippi, finally got the chance to enter the Memphis recording studio. He's a little nervous. After singing a few plain country folk songs, the 19-year-old man was a little depressed himself. At this time, the prelude to a song called "Never mind, Mom" sounded, and Presley began to sing again. This is a blues song written by a black singer named Crudup in 1947, but Presley, a white young man, interpreted it as both "black" and rural. The historical starting point of Rolling Stone magazine was neglected at that night, but the magazine Rolling Stone founded after 13 mentioned it as the starting point of the history of rock music. Perhaps thanks to 13 years, it is precisely because of looking back at the midpoint of time that Rolling Stone can better see the years shocked by emotional contagion and capture the turning point. Presley's singing that night touched everyone at the venue, and made Sam Phillips, the owner of Memphis recording studio, feel that such a white singer with black style will definitely become a big star in the future. He helped Presley release records and hold concert tours. The combination of country music and blues music and singing with black flavor made Presley quickly become popular. By the 1970s, he had set an invincible record of selling 654.38+55 million single records. At that time, people liked to call him "Elvis Presley". Elvis Presley and Elvis Presley's choice of Elvis Presley was indeed justified by Rolling Stone. He was the first white singer to combine country music with blues music, and constantly integrated pop songs, gospel music, bluegrass music and even opera style. His exaggerated live performance style and hip twisting movements are called "bump twisting", which directly reflects the name "rock". But more importantly, Elvis Presley brought marginalized rock music into the mainstream for the first time, which was known to the public and brought about the innovation of pop music behavior and concept. Since then, rock and roll has become a culture. Before the publication of 1967 Rolling Stone, rock music had gone through many unforgettable episodes. Continue to integrate with other existing music forms in content, but the musical elements are not destined to be the standard of rock music, and the expressions and beliefs advocated are the legends that determine history. By the 1960s, Chuck Berry's 36 mistakes had laid the playing rules of rock music. Women's bands and black singers enter the public eye; Garage rock, folk rock and psychedelic rock have all appeared; The band that smashed the guitar into the speaker, the hippie movement spread the rock mood to the rock music all over the world in the 1960 s. As Maurice dickstein wrote in The Gate of Eden, "Rock music is a group religion in 1960s-not only music and language, but also the center of dance, sex and drugs, all of which converge into a single ceremony of self-expression and spiritual travel". This background makes Jane Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone, keenly realize that an unprecedented era has come, and rock music will be the most shocking symbol of this era. His favorite idols, whether Bob Dylan, John Lennon or Rolling Stone, are all heroes. However, in San Francisco from 65438 to 0967, the "revolutionary" flag of rock music was everywhere, and anti-rock forces cursed rock music crazily. Everything related to rock music is described as "three Rs"-rock and riot, including all kinds of music tabloids. When the new rolling stone seemed to be submerged by the disorder of the music media at that time, Wenner showed his journalistic talent. He changed the way the underground tabloids reported at that time and used the traditional clear news writing method to report the rock heroes at that time in depth. Wenner once recalled: "I have an intuition to make things clear and organized, and I know how to design and present them." At that time, the underground newspaper was not attractive to me. " At this time, the cover and long interview of Rolling Stone were released. In the past 1968, Rolling Stone chose the photo of Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon holding hands with their backs to the camera as the cover, which caused a national sensation. On 1970, Wenner hired annie leibovitz, a 20-year-old student from the University of San Francisco, as the chief photographer. Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon repeatedly appeared in Rolling Stone through her lens, accompanied by a long interview with Lennon. Records of the Beatles can be found in the rolling stones, from the initial cunning and calmness to the Beatles' fanaticism, as well as various entanglements with revolution and religion, until their dissolution. 1980, 1980 On February 8th, leibowitz took a picture of Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon curled up and hugged Yoko. By then, she had become friends with the couple and lived in the same apartment in new york Central Park. 65438+February 10, before Annie could show the couple the photos, the news of Lennon's assassination came. The last photo of Lennon eventually became the cover of the special issue of Rolling Stone in memory of Lennon. At this time, "Rolling Stone" is very close to the moment that affects the history of rock music. Annie leibovitz Honesty Robert Dereppe once said in Rolling Stone Magazine: Unedited History: "From 1970 to 1977, there is no other magazine in the United States that is as honest and imaginative as what Jane Wenner called the' rock tabloid from San Francisco'. In fact, by the mid-1970s, Rolling Stone was already a pioneer in American journalism. This is not only because a group of excellent American journalists and photographers, such as Joe Klein and leibowitz, have gathered here, but also because of the deep excavation and exploration of Lennon, rock music trends and even the American election. More importantly, the music trend advocated and led by Rolling Stone has become a part of the mainstream of the United States, and even shocked the whole United States. From 1967 to 1977, Rolling Stone recorded the following key words of rock music: jimi hendrix's burning guitar, laurel Valley, Woodstock, wandering streets, heavy metals, punk, reggae and disco music. With the continuous development of rock music, it has changed the lifestyle and thinking mode of the United States and even the whole world. At that time, "Rolling Stone" has gone down in history and become a witness and weather vane of the times. From 65438 to 0976, Rolling Stone moved to new york, which many critics thought was the beginning of its decline. New york's Rolling Stone continued to maintain its profound news reporting style and gained more money and fame, but it began to lose its avant-garde thinking and revolutionary temperament. Some people say that because Wenner has grown up, he doesn't want to resist anything. Actually, I grew up in rock music. The most exciting thing about rock music after 1980s is its commercial success. Rap is popular for a while, but it's just underground black music that has been lurking for a long time. Loyal rock musicians continue to burn grandeur and hypocrisy, spreading dissatisfaction and rebellion, but their actions again and again have lost their indifferent determination in the 1960 s. When some people say that rolling stone is already a business, rock music is becoming a business. Wenner defended the decline of Rolling Stone in this way: "The counter-mainstream culture in the 1970s has become the mainstream culture today. Rolling stone, 30 years ago, was born in a society where everyone was resisting. Nowadays, children are very free and don't know what to resist. Rock music has become a program of every commercial TV station. Rolling stone may regret losing its original bystander role, but from another perspective, more and more people are beginning to hear what we originally advocated. "This is not unreasonable. Rolling Stone, which witnessed this period in the past, occupied the position of the leader of American music magazines and was full of ambitions. But all I can do is put a sexy girl on the cover and continue to reminisce about the thrilling 1960s. 1997 * * The Lilith Fair Music Festival in summer makes the Rolling Stones nostalgic. The singers who participated in this music festival are all women, trying to break the weak situation of rock female singers. 1On September 30th, 997, Rolling Stone published a special birthday issue of Rock Woman. 1969' s Rolling Stone describes the girls who are dedicated to rock stars. All their spirits are pinned on it, and they cater to the rock life with sex. They are called "groupies" and "fruits" in Beijing dialect. The "rock girl" once again mentioned the bright fruit, and recalled the punk young woman Chris Cindy, the sexy diva Madonna and Patty Smith who teased men and women, but they are still the secondary roles of rock music, and they are just the past. Glorious Rock1998 In May, Rolling Stone magazine broadcasted the 30th anniversary special topic "Where Are We: Rolling Stone's State of the Union Address" on ABC TV, starting with rock music and touching on religion, culture, politics, emotion, money and other aspects. It is actually reminding Americans that I, Rolling Stone, once participated in or created the history of rock music, and once carried the ideals, beliefs, anger and joy of a generation. But so what? It is all over now. In 2004, Rolling Stone opened a place between sexy actresses and commercial albums, telling people that rock music has been born for 50 years. 50 historical moments that changed rock music were arranged in turn, and 50 covers of Rolling Stone were hung one by one. Looking back at the historical point, rolling stone tasted the bleak today with rock music in its past glory. There are always celebrations, but in the special issue of birthday celebrations on September 30th, Rolling Stone can only sing praises to the 1960s with us. Chinese Version In early 2006, Rolling Stone magazine of the United States cooperated with Wanhua Media, a subsidiary of Ming Pao Group of Hong Kong, and granted the latter a five-year Chinese edition publishing license. Wanhua Media cooperated with Shanghai Audio-visual World Magazine and published the first issue of Rolling Stone Audio-visual World in March. The cover is chinese magazine of Chinese rock star Cui Jian, with a baseball cap attached. It is said that the first issue of 6.5438+0.25 million copies were all sold out. The magazine has adopted the distribution and promotion strategies commonly used by many fashion magazines, and has appeared in major newsstands in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities at a high price by giving gifts with the magazine. Such a grandiose marketing strategy quickly attracted people's attention, including the news supervision department. At the beginning of April, the magazine was stopped by the Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau on the grounds that the cooperation between Wanhua Media and Audiovisual World magazine was a private transaction and was not reported to the competent authorities for approval. And "any cooperation with overseas media should be approved by the government. "... In addition, the violation is also manifested in the fact that the English title of Rolling Stone on the cover is too ostentatious and does not conform to relevant regulations. Since then, the China version of Rolling Stone died one year after its publication by adjusting the opening logo.
