Rolling Stone has enough articles that're worth reading for me to glaze through it every issue, and read whatever's good. Their obituaries for James Brown and Ahmet Ertegun were excellent. I enjoyed reading through their 50th anniversary lists. This latest issue (with that utter and complete joke of a list) had an interesting article on Cormac McCarthy. That said, the bad aspects far, far, far outweigh the good, and the magazine itself really has become a total joke. I'm still amazed that they had enough of a hard-on for Bob Dylan (in the same club as Hunter S. Thompson) to actually print the interview with him last year, in which he basically made a fool of Jann Wenner and the magazine itself.

Also, I'm annoyed because I'm missing Coachella this year not because of age, but because I'll be at my cousin's wedding. Not that I would skip that wedding for any concert, festival, etc., even if given the choice, but it's a bummer about the scheduling.

Thats a bummer. If the rumors are true this could be an amazing year.

When people finally stop reading/mentioning/discussing it. That being said I guess it's safe to claim that I'm the only regular RMer who never purchased an RS issue. Or am I not?

Nope. I'm a shelf reader.

When it comes to Rolling Stone, though, I'm more of a shelf skimmer.

Then I'll say it's safe to claim that I'm the only RM regular who only ever once read a RS issue. Or am I not?

I never bought Rolling Stone, though I'll read it when I find it in people's bathrooms and there's nothing better to skim.

[Team-Rancho]

And I don't even skim it, even when there's nothing else to skim and I'm bored to death!

i'm surprised rolling stone knows who les savy fav is let alone enough to consider them top 20. then again i haven't listened to them in a while, have they gone to suck or is RS just grabbing anything associated with the word 'indie' now.

I didn't want to keep looking to that list after seeing Britney Spears was up there. I think the most important thing for Rolling Stone right now are the magazine sales and anything else comes to second.
