I will be talking about influential music artists such as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Velvet Underground The rolling stone magazine has inspired me to explore the relation between music and society, this is something I have always been interested in and this was a good opportunity to delve into it This also means that my magazine can be educational as well as entertaining, therefore hitting two birds with one stone.
