Rolling stone has ALWAYS sucked.
Does anyone ever read it? Who ever held a subscription?
No One!
Playboy at least gave you some skin for the excuse of reading the articles.
Rolling Stone never delivered.
Lets do a cover article on Elton John and 80 pages of more dreck.
Rolling Stone panned the first four Led Zeppelin albums. Thirty years later, they finally admitted they were wrong.
Elvis Costello could yodel in the shower into a tape recorder and Rolling Stone would run out of deliriously positive adjectives to describe the new album. I’ve never met one person who likes Elvis Costello.
David Lee Roth once said that the only reason music critics like Elvis Costello is because they all LOOK like Elvis Costello.
99% of it is dreck. I can thumb through it in 60 seconds, and read everything that's even marginally worthwhile. I do thumb through it, however, for the same reason that my (conservative) father listens to NPR: "The better to know my enemies". :-)
I've seen and read one article recently, on Government screwups regarding college loans, that was unbiased and worth an in-depth read. Otherwise, it's an excellent mouthpiece for democrats.
