Once upon a fourth dimension at that topographic point was no internet. To proceed upwards amongst all the cool stuff, similar hula hoops, beehives, in addition to the latest "platter" yesteryear lovable mop tops from Liverpool, yous had to rush out to the newsagents in addition to purchase a affair called a "music mag." This would thence update yous on the divergence betwixt a modernistic in addition to a rocker, tell yous how broad your flares should be, in addition to explicate rap lyrics.
Back thence 1 of the biggest music mags was "Rolling Stone." Yes, form of named subsequently the biggest stone ring of the 1960s in addition to a Bob Dylan song. How cool was that? Not much -- a fleck obvious, really.
