[[George Harrison]]'s 1975 song "[[This Guitar (Can't Keep from Crying)]]", a lyrical sequel to his Beatles track "[[While My Guitar Gently Weeps]]" (1968), references the magazine in its second verse: "Learned to get up when I fall / Can even climb ''Rolling Stone'' walls". The song was written in response to some highly unfavorable reviews from ''Rolling Stone'' and other publications for [[George Harrison and Ravi Shankar's 1974 North American tour|Harrison's 1974 North American tour]] and his album ''[[Dark Horse (George Harrison album)|Dark Horse]]''.<ref>{{cite book|author=Leng, Simon |title=While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison|publisher= Hal Leonard |location=Milwaukee, WI|date=2006|pages= 181–82}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Clayson, Alan|title=George Harrison|publisher= Sanctuary |location=London|date= 2003|page= 350|isbn =9781860743498}}</ref>

"[[The Cover of Rolling Stone]]" is a song written by [[Shel Silverstein]] and first recorded by American rock band [[Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show]]. The song satirizes success in the music business; the song's narrator laments that his band, despite having the superficial attributes of a successful rock star (including drug usage, "teenage groupies, who'll do anything we say", and a frenetic guitar solo), has been unable to "get their pictures on the cover of the ''Rolling Stone''".<ref>{{cite magazine |date=June 22, 2004 |title=1973 Rolling Stone Covers |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/1973-rolling-stone-covers-208781/rs131-dr-hook-the-medicine-show-whats-their-2-141151/ |magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=February 26, 2021 |archive-date=May 8, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210508113937/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/1973-rolling-stone-covers-208781/rs131-dr-hook-the-medicine-show-whats-their-2-141151/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
