Released in 1971, "Sticky Fingers" is the ninth British and eleventh American studio album by the Rolling Stones. Who conceived the original cover artwork?
Sticky Fingers is the ninth British and eleventh American studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released in 23 April 1971. It is the band's first album of the decade and the first release on the band's new label Rolling Stones Records, after having been contracted since 1963 with Decca Records in the UK and London Records in the US. It is Mick Taylor's second full-length appearance on a Rolling Stones album and the second Rolling Stones album not to feature any contributions from guitarist and founder Brian Jones after the live album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!.
Sticky Fingers is considered one of the Rolling Stones' best albums. It achieved triple platinum certification in the US, with songs such as the chart-topping "Brown Sugar," the country ballad "Dead Flowers", "Wild Horses," "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," and "Moonlight Mile". The original cover artwork, conceived by Andy Warhol and photographed and designed by members of his art collective, The Factory, was highly innovative, showing a sexually suggestive picture of a man in tight jeans complete with a fully working zipper that opened to reveal a pair of underwear. Owing to the damage caused by the zipper to the vinyl disc, and the expense in producing the unusual cover, later re-issues featured just the outer photograph of the jeans.

Just kiddin'. It's really not clear who that nice penis printing through the jeans actually belonged to, or who at the Factory even took the photo. So the answer you are looking for is "Andy Warhol".
Pictured is Joe, his penis in white briefs, and an older woman not his mom.

Andy Warhol. One of the great rock albums, featuring the strongest Rolling Stones lineup before their all time best guitarist Mick Taylor got sick of Mick and Keith taking all the credit, and quit the band to labor in obscurity for the next 45 years.
Photos: 1971 band members Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor. Richards, Watts and Jagger are still band members in 2020 | prudes considered the album cover "too suggestive" in 1971 and some retailers refused to display it | even more controversial were the ads for the Rolling Stones' vastly inferior 1976 album Black and Blue, which featured a bound woman apparently freshly abused in an S&M session

Jacqueline replied:
Craig Braun did the 'concept art, and the zipper was from Andy Warhol. The album cover was considered very racy for the time
Deborah responded:
The talented Andy Warhol conceived the cover art for "Sticky Fingers."
Yesterday I got a black-market haircut. Next week my county enters the next phase of opening (too soon! too soon!), and my stylist will be able to legally open her doors. I felt awkward, skulking about behind the salon, trying to look normal. What reality is this that a haircut could result in arrest and loss of license, and yet I can buy pot legally? That feels so weird.
Another hot day on tap, Hope it helps the tomatoes ripen faster.I have a few and want one right now.

• When Emma Calvé first traveled to Paris to get singing lessons in preparation for an operatic career, she sat by an attentive elderly gentleman on top of a stagecoach. Unfortunately, the elderly gentleman was a little too attentive, for when she fell asleep, he put his arm around her waist. This awakened Ms. Calvé, who slapped the elderly gentleman with such force that everyone in the stagecoach realized what had happened. The stagecoach stopped, voices were raised in discussion and argument, and a young man gave Ms. Calvé his seat inside the stagecoach and took her seat by the elderly gentleman on top of the stagecoach.

• Luciano Pavarotti was amazed that Joan Sutherland could sing Amina at full voice during a dress rehearsal in the afternoon, then sing Violetta at full voice during a performance that evening without showing any fatigue. When he confessed to Ms. Sutherland that in contrast to her he felt tired, she replied that he was not properly controlling his diaphragm. Therefore, Mr. Pavarotti told Ms. Sutherland's husband, "Excuse me, but I am going to put my hand on your wife's stomach." She then demonstrated to him the proper control of the diaphragm.

SyFy has the movie 'The Mummy', followed by the movie 'The Mummy Returns'.
Lifetime recently announced the network would be enlisting one of the most beloved Hollywood stars ever to have graced the small screen for a Christmas movie: national treasure Betty White.
While her film is still untitled and without an airdate, the network described it as featuring the "Golden Girls" star, 98, helping "whip would-be Santas into shape, spreading the true meaning of Christmas and leading everyone to wonder: Is she secretly Mrs. Claus?"
On top of this wonderful news, Lifetime also announced it would be working with "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts as well as with "Halloween" actress Jamie Lee Curtis on new film projects.
Additionally, there will be another biopic about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the third about Archie's parents. This one has a working title of "Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace," which will follow the high-profile pair's headline-grabbing royal uncoupling.
The original artwork on the cover of Led Zeppelin's 1969 self-titled debut album will be auctioned off via Christie's during a sale scheduled for June 2nd through 18th.
The cover was designed by George Hardie and based on photographer Sam Shere's famous 1937 photograph of the Hindenburg disaster. It's estimated to fetch between $20,000 to $30,000, and Christie's senior specialist of Books and Manuscripts, Peter Klarnet, tells Rolling Stone, "In terms of rarity, this is a unique object - I don't think you can get rarer than that."
Hardie designed the piece while he was a graduate student at the Royal College of Art in London after his friend, the photographer Stephen Goldblatt, had recommended him to Zeppelin. After rejecting Hardie's first few cover ideas, guitarist Jimmy Page suggested he do something with Shere's Hindenburg picture. For his take on the photo, Hardie used tracing paper to recreate the image in stipple - a style of drawing using small dots - to give it the same feel as a low-resolution newspaper photo.
Led Zeppelin reportedly paid Hardie just £60 for his work, although when he uncovered the original stipple tracing years later it had a note attached to it that read, "George's pension fund."
Some musicians rock too hard, but Queen's Brian May gardened too hard.
The lead guitarist announced he's been hospitalized after ripping the muscles in his glutes "to shreds" after working too furiously in his garden.
May posted a photo and video on his Instagram on Wednesday with the unusual announcement.
The guitarist added that he's still waiting to find out how serious the injury is, and he's in constant pain and needs help walking.
"Suddenly I find myself in a hospital getting scanned to find out exactly how much I've actually damaged myself. Turns out I did a thorough job - this is a couple of days ago - and I won't be able to walk for a while or sleep, without a lot of assistance, because the pain is relentless," he wrote.
Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" was his creation despite copyright claims by a one-time collaborator who helped direct the first episode, an appeals court said Thursday.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled against writer Christian Charles in a five-paragraph written order upholding a decision by Judge Alison J. Nathan.
It concluded a case over a popular show that debuted in 2012, originating as an online streaming program that was distributed by Sony Pictures Television through Crackle before being sold to Netflix in 2017.
Charles said in his February 2018 lawsuit that he worked with Seinfeld on projects for nearly two decades, including on American Express commercials and the documentary "Comedian."
He said the concept of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" arose as they filmed the documentary with a scene of Seinfeld and friend Barry Marder driving across the George Washington Bridge in Seinfeld's vintage Volkswagen Beetle.
First, Kristen Biel learned she had breast cancer. Then, after she told the Catholic school where she taught that she'd need time off for treatment, she learned her teaching contract wouldn't be renewed.
"She was devastated," said her husband Darryl. "She came in the house just bawling uncontrollably."
Biel died last year at age 54 after a five-year battle with breast cancer. On Monday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a disability discrimination lawsuit she filed against her former employer, St. James Catholic School in Torrance, California.
A judge initially sided with the school and halted the lawsuit, but an appeals court disagreed and said it could go forward. The school, with the support of the Trump administration, is challenging that decision, telling the Supreme Court that the dispute doesn't belong in court.
The Justice Department announced Thursday that it is dropping its criminal case against President Trump (R-Corrupt)'s first national security adviser Michael Flynn (R-Guilty). Flynn twice admitted in court he lied to the FBI about his conversations with Russia's U.S. ambassador, and then cooperated in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. It was an unusual move by the Justice Department, and CNN's legal and political analysts smelled a rat.
"Attorney General [William] Barr is already being accused of creating a special justice system just for President Trump's friends," and this will only feed that perception, CNN's Jake Tapper suggested. Political correspondent Sara Murray agreed, noting that the prosecutor in the case, Brandon Van Grack, withdrew right before the Justice Department submitted its filing, just like when Barr intervened to request a reduced sentence for Roger Stone.
National security correspondent Jim Sciutto laid out several reason why the substance of Flynn's admitted lie was a big deal, and chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin was appalled. "It is one of the most incredible legal documents I have read, and certainly something that I never expected to see from the United States Department of Justice," Toobin said. "The idea that the Justice Department would invent an argument - an argument that the judge in this case has already rejected - and say that's a basis for dropping a case where a defendant admitted his guilt shows that this is a case where the fix was in."
Barr told CBS News' Cathrine Herridge on Thursday that dropping Flynn's case actually "sends the message that there is one standard of justice in this country." Herridge told Barr he would take flak for this, asking: "When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written?" Barr laughed: "Well, history's written by the winners. So it largely depends on who's writing the history."
When temperatures rise, beads of sweat exude from our pores and evaporate, releasing energy that cools the skin and keeps our bodies from overheating.
This self-cooling mechanism has helped humans spread to every hot and humid corner of the globe. But that sweating superpower has a theoretical upper limit: When it gets too hot and humid, the laws of physics inhibit sweat from cooling skin. That limit is hit when a bulb thermometer wrapped in a wet towel (a measure of heat and humidity known as "wet-bulb" temperature) reads 35° Celsius, or 95° Fahrenheit. Even the fittest human supplied with unlimited water would probably die after a few hours in these conditions.
Scientists have thought that this temperature extreme occurs rarely, if ever, on Earth. But as the globe warms, wet-bulb temperatures around 35° C could become more common toward the end of the century in certain regions, endangering hundreds of millions of people, recent climate simulations suggest.
An analysis of global weather station data shows that this human survivability limit has been briefly surpassed at least a dozen times in the last four decades at sites along the Persian Gulf and Indus River Valley in India and Pakistan, researchers report May 8 in Science Advances. Slightly lower, but still dangerous, wet-bulb temperatures are increasingly familiar features of summer across larger swaths of the Middle East, South Asia and the U.S. Gulf Coast, the study shows.
Hundreds of wild bison would be transferred from federal lands to a South Dakota American Indian Reservation and a North Dakota national park as a first step in the latest initiative to restore the burly animals to Western U.S. lands that they once roamed by the millions, federal and tribal officials said Friday.
Up to 200 American bison, also known as buffalo, would be transferred to South Dakota's Rosebud Sioux Reservation this fall, with plans for a herd of 1,500 within five years, according to tribal officials and the World Wildlife Fund, which is helping pay for the effort.
An unspecified number of bison also would be moved from Colorado's Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge to Theodore Roosevelt National Park within the next few months. Those animals would be studied to see how much they integrated with an existing herd at the park in western North Dakota.
For the Lakota Indians of the Rosebud Sioux Reservation, the transfer represents a chance to reclaim some of the tribe's historical ties to bison that were lost when the huge herds that once migrated across their homeland were killed off by white settlers more than a century ago.
The animals will roam a 44-square-mile expanse of prairie grassland known as the Wolakota Buffalo Range and provide the tribe with both food and cultural sustenance, said Wizipan Little Elk, CEO of the Rosebud Sioux Economic Development Corporation.
Hollywood has never produced a movie about South Africa's Cape honeybees, and frankly it's a travesty.
The pitch writes itself: Aspiring to become a queen, a lowly Apis mellifera capensis worker leaves home to invade a rival nest and successfully fills it with her clones. All thanks to the talents of a single, amazing gene that allows her to ditch men.
Research by scientists from the University of Sydney means we can even slap 'loosely based on a true story' under the title credits. Unlike the majority of related honey-loving subspecies, any old Cape honeybee sister can use her oversized ovaries to produce a perfume that tells the hive she's now in charge.
The only thing keeping the peace most of the time is the calming scent of pheromones from the rightful queen's own mandibular glands.
If her majesty dies, it's game on, with any number of workers vying to assert their reproductive dominance over the colony all at once.
