Rolling Stone special report: Inside Eric Clapton’s baffling vaccine skepticism and shocking history of racist statements rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…
In recent months, Clapton has become a leading vaccine skeptic. By way of a friend’s social media account, he’s detailed what he called his “disastrous” experience after receiving two AstraZeneca shots (“Propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone,” he wrote).
Clapton recently gave money — and offered his Transporter van — to Jam for Freedom, a group of U.K. musicians that spreads an anti-lockdown message and sings songs with lyrics like “You can stick your poison vaccine up your arse.” rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

Rolling Stone first published its 500 Greatest Songs list in 2004, when the iPod was relatively new and Billie Eilish was three years old. Music has changed immeasurably since, so we remade the list from scratch. Here we present the all-new #RS500Songs
rol.st/3kewRBm
More than 250 artists, writers, and industry figures voted on the list, from Angelique Kidjo to Zedd, M. Ward to Bill Ward, plus Megan Thee Stallion, Sam Smith, and more. The result is a list that covers everything from classic rock to pop, punk to reggaeton and beyond.
Missy Elliott and Timbaland went on an historic run of futuristic genius in the late Nineties and early 2000s. See where their classic single “Get Ur Freak On” ranks on our list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. #RS500Songs rollingstone.com/music/music-li…

.@foofighters appear on our October cover, in one of their most revealing interviews. Dave Grohl and his band of lifers on not being cool (and not caring), dreaming of Kurt Cobain, and why rock doesn't have to "come from a place of darkness."

rol.st/3z6xtxq Image
Grohl recently played on an as-yet-unreleased song by Miley Cyrus, who once got him and Smear superhigh backstage at a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony. “I do love that Miley is kind of fuckin’ becoming the next rock star,” he says. rol.st/3z6xtxq Image
Pat Smear explains the difference between Grohl and Kurt Cobain: "Dave is a life lover,” he says. “Every night when [Dave] sings, ‘I never want to die,' I think of Kurt. Because Kurt was, ‘I hate myself, and I want to die.’ That’s the opposite-ness of them." Image

From the invasion of Iraq to the withdrawal from Afghanistan, for 20 years Rolling Stone has been reporting on the War on Terror sparked by September 11th. Here’s a thread of our most impactful work, chronicling two decades of death, deception, and catastrophic failure.
In 2003, @evanscribe rode along for the invasion of Iraq with an elite, ultraviolent Marine platoon. "I’m a death-dealing killer," one screamed. "In my free time I do push-ups until my knuckles bleed. Then I sharpen my knife.” rol.st/3twkN1D
.@janetreitman took us inside the second battle of Fallujah, where disillusionment was already entrenched in the ranks. “There is no global war on terrorism,” one soldier said. “This is about propaganda and changing the way people think.” rol.st/3l8QlGQ

The supermogul Clive Davis has forged an empire of music's top-billing artists from Whitney Houston to Bruce Springsteen to Alicia Keys. At nearly 90, why can’t he retire — or let the past go? rollingstone.com/pro/features/c…
The record chief is best known for his dazzling annual Grammy gala. In 2012, Whitney Houston drowned in a bathtub, flights above the party. "I want to give everything I know about Whitney, give the true full story," says Davis now. rollingstone.com/pro/features/c…
Days after Davis produced the starry New York Homecoming concert, he's already diving into new projects, including co-producing a Whitney Houston biopic. (The Clive character hasn't been cast yet, but he's requested Stanley Tucci to play him.) rollingstone.com/pro/features/c…
