This week in 1969 Rolling Stone magazine’s front cover featured an article on “groupies,” a term used for the ladies who hang out at the stage door hoping for some intimate interaction with the band. Some sources have attributed the coining of the word to The Rolling Stones former bass player, Bill Wyman, during the group’s 1965 Australian tour. However Wyman has said he and his band-mates used other “code words” for women on tour.
