David Cassidy let it all hang out

May 11, 1972
In an effort to shed his teenybopper image, David Cassidy appears shirtless (and pantless) on the cover of Rolling Stone.

The story is headlined “Naked Lunch Box,” a reference to how many kids have his likeness on their school lunch boxes. He comes off as a free spirit, and admits to taking drugs. It’s a (literally) revealing look at Cassidy, who provides Rolling Stone with one of their most memorable cover stories.
