My son subscribed to it last year for the music articles. I was amused by the scathing political content, phrased in 8th-grade English for the Abercrombie & Fitch generation. All of it hogwash punctuated by frequent use of the f-word. Some raving PETA type named Matt Taibbi always writes about how cruel and hideous Republicans are...I wonder if the Dems own stock in RS? Anyway, it is a once-great music magazine which now reviews music none of us would listen to in a million years. It hopes to reach young people and tell them that if they are smart and hip, they must work to topple capitalism...and every other page is an ad for $200 jeans. You'd have to be in 8th grade to make any sense of it, I guess.
