Rolling Stone Magazine

I used to occasionaly look through Rolling Stone sometime in the early 90's. I never bought it as it was just stuffed full of ad's and the articles were far to long and involved for the subject matter that was covered (long winded pregnant articles about Billy Idol and the like).

It's pretty much like Vanity Fair as mags go, glossy, no content, massive agenda and pictures.

Speeking of pictures, did you notice that Hawain dude Jack Johnson looked a wee bitty pale/bleeched on a recent cover. I didn't recognise him.

Rolling Stone i beleive has a content percentage of 20, which means the rest of the magazine is ad's, perfume inserts and pictures of the editors pony tail (it's now preserved in a jar).

There has been a change in demographic for the core buyers of RS, mostly they are dead poeple from Miami, or, people who have volenteered to have their ears removed and donated to someone with a better use for them rather than listen to the same endless list of classic rock pish that will never die until they die. Even then we will have lawyers battleing to extend the copyright period so some dead old fat cunt's estate (lawyers) can keep making money.

I don't mush like this magazine, it's like Saturday Night Live, should have been left to pasture a long long time ago.
