Stone Turned

Your magazine’s a platform for prejudice.
The greatest artists of all time—says who?
No women and blacks on that top five list,
Yet without them your list wouldn’t exist.
You celebrate rock without rock and roll.
You say we’re not articulate?
But you throw away jazz, with its sophistication.
Wenner’s a loser.
And where would rock be without the blues?
Oh, the artists that you pick and choose.
Oh, some of them are great for sure—
But who were the Stones named for?
Who really opened up that door?
How could a rich man be so poor…
