Where To Watch
Can you tell the difference between rock stars and TV stars in the 1970s?
Spoiler alert: None of them had short hair.
Circus magazine once boasted on its cover that it had the "Most Complete Concert, Album, Radio, TV and Film Listings of Any Weekly Magazine." Those of us who were youth of the Seventies knew that Circus was the pop culture rag. It had glossier paper and more posters. Rolling Stone felt like it was for your older brother.
Circus published all the way up until 2006. But the Seventies were the mag's heyday, when Queen ruled and KISS was on everyone's lips.
We gathered some classic covers from that era. Can you tell if the cover stars are rockers or actors?

23/24. Going to google Rick Wakeman.
23/24. Missed the last one.
You got 23 out of 24. Missed on who the last one was, Rick Wakeman. Only one I hadn't heard of.
23/24. I wasn't sure who the last one was.
22/24. I was never a big Heart fan, and I'm not familiar enough with Yes to recognize Wakeman.
You got 23 out of 24

24 out of 24...in all fairness, there were clues in the magazine covers if you only looked :)
22/24. I was born in '72 and didn't really start paying attention to music/TV seriously until around 1980, so I think that's pretty good. :-)
24 out of 24, woot woot! 🤘🍾🥂🎉👏👏👏
And I read CREEM magazine in my early teens. I was way into rock journalism...which is probably how I knew who all the rockers were. As for the TV stars, well, I also watched TV in the '70s. All four or five available channels of it. 😉
