The Rolling Stone has outlived it’s usefulness by about 35 years. His son has just inheirited an ossified, atrophied concept. There is little new music that is widely shared these days.
Some new music is very good, but try finding a large group who have also heard it at the same time you did.
By that same artist and in that same format. There is so much of it because almost anyone can produce a permanent record of their songs.
You don’t really need a studio to do this for you as a new act. Just find someone experienced with fishing notes from a computer and combining with certain visual effects.
Rock birthed Rolling Stone and was its Mana for decades.
The decline of mainstream rock and it’s replacement by Rap/Hip-Hop and pop has as much to do with the mag’s demise as anything.
