But what to you REALLY think, George?

George Lois, the man who launched some of the most memorable and (to use an over-used, but apt word, iconic) Esquire covers of the 1960s, ripped into the industry yesterday with a speech deploring the "boring, adoring, butt-kissing magazine covers" of today. Here is the link to the report in Advertising Age (where you can also download the text of Lois's speech.)

Above is one of Lois's best-known covers, of Muhammad Ali as St. Sebastian. Lois has an eponymous website.
