ON THE COVER: THE ROLLING STONES

The legendary Rolling Stones have returned with Hackney Diamonds (Geffen), their first set of new music since 2005 and their most acclaimed in decades. The Andrew Watt-produced set features a key guest spot from Lady Gaga and a Paul McCartney cameo on bass. It’s a fabulous high point that comes a stunning 60 years into the band’s career. Even so, they’ve gotta wonder how we’re still around.
