"Flashback: Inside John Lennon's Long History With Rolling Stone
John Lennon was the 'North Star' for 'Rolling Stone' since the magazine's earliest days, and his interviews in these pages made news around the world."

"A year later, Wenner heard record stores were selling Two Virgins in a plain brown wrapper, since Lennon and Ono appeared naked on the album's cover. Rolling Stone editor emeritus Ralph Gleason suggested the magazine contact Beatles publicist Derek Taylor and ask to see the images in full. "They said OK and sent it over," says Wenner. "It was as simple as that."
The cover – accompanied by an interview by Jonathan Cott – caused a national scandal. Featuring Lennon and Ono naked from behind (the full-frontal shots were inside), it hit newsstands on November 23rd, 1968. A New Jersey postmaster general stopped issues from going to East Coast subscribers. One San Francisco newsstand employee was arrested for selling obscene material. (nude beat-le perils s.f., declared a San Francisco Chronicle headline soon after.) Wenner was exuberant. "The point is this," he wrote in the next issue. "Print a famous foreskin and the world will beat a path to your door.""
