Masked Marauders

In 1969, Rolling Stone editor Greil Marcus reviewed an album by a supergroup called the Masked Marauders. It consisted of Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney. Greil was annoyed with the popularity of so-called “supergroups” and intended his article to be a parody. His audience, however, took the bait and everybody was desperate for a Masked Marauders album.
