From the Paper:

"The November edition of Rolling Stone Magazine is quite eye-catching. They have printed special collectors' editions with not one, but three different covers. All covers use characters from "The Simpsons" television cartoon.
The magazine I purchased features the backside of character Homer Simpson. He is in a pose much like that of music artist Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." release. Homer wears a white t-shirt and has a red baseball cap tucked into his rear pocket. It was a well-remembered album cover, which is important to note because the other magazine covers also reflect memorable albums. Nirvana had a cd cover of "Nevermind" with a baby under water, eyes wide-open and reaching out to grab paper money in front of him. Rolling Stone used Bart from "The Simpsons" to duplicate this idea, grabbing a dollar bill with Krusty the Clown pictured on it. The third collectors' cover features the entire Simpsons family walking across the British crosswalk, as in the Beatles' "Abbey Road" cover."
