And the beer company Miller and Rolling Stone magazine are coming under criticism for a new promotion celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Rock N Roll. The brewery and magazine have collaborated in producing eight commemorative beer cans featuring the photos of rock legends. Artists chosen include Elvis Presley, Blondie, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Willie Nelson.

The artists share one thing in common: they are all white. Robert Thompson, a professor of pop culture at Syracuse University, criticized the selection since African-American artists largely invented rock n roll. He told the Associated Press, “It would be like doing a set of cans of six great Impressionist painters and not including any French people on it.”
