This is the coolest mixup- 1974 live
-Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - The Cover of ‘Rolling Stone & Sylvia’s Mother
“The Cover of ‘Rolling Stone’” is a song written by Shel Silverstein and first recorded by American rock group Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show. Produced by Ron Haffkine and released in 1972, it was the band’s third single and peaked at No. 6 on the U.S. pop chart for two weeks on March 17–24, 1973. The song satirically laments that the band had not appeared on the cover of the Rolling Stone, a magazine that focuses on music, politics, and popular culture. The song’s success led to the band appearing on the cover of the March 1973 issue of Rolling Stone, albeit in caricature.
-“Sylvia’s Mother”, a 1972 single by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, was the group’s first hit song. It was written by Shel Silverstein.
“Sylvia’s Mother” is autobiographical, with songwriter Shel Silverstein drawing upon his unsuccessful attempt to revive a failed relationship. Silverstein had been in love with a woman named Sylvia Pandolfi. She later became engaged to another man and ended up as a museum curator at the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil in Mexico City. Desperate to continue the relationship, Silverstein called Pandolfi’s mother, Louisa, but she told him the love had ended.
