Is it just me or did Jet used to come in the same size as Ebony?

No, gyro, Jet has always been the same size that it is now. (I have some that I picked up at a used book store dated 1966) Ebony used to be slightly larger as did most of that type of magazine.

No you did not ask my BLACK AZZ that!!! You don't need to go there with me! It is SUPPOSED to meant magazines like LIFE, LOOK, ROLLING STONE and any other large format magazines that have reduced their sizes. Yes, I am annoyed......but it won't last.

Thanks NewPowerSista.

I'm in Dallas area and I am having trouble finding JET Magazine!!! It can't be this hard! I stopped by at least 3 Barnes and Nobles bookstores and all 3 said they do NOT carry JET!

If there are any orgers here in Dallas that purchased JET please let me know where you got it.

Thanks!

That's pretty amazing that you can't find it anywhere! I'm not in your area, but Jet is usually in grocery stores or drug stores, places like that, on the racks near the checkouts. If you don't have it yet, you may miss it because it's a weekly and gets pulled pretty quickly.

Prince is BLACK!!! Why wouldn't he want 2 be featured in BLACK magazines???? Duh!!! So many white people seem 2 4get the fact that the man is BLACK!!!

In today's news, it was found out that pop legend Prince is indeed a black man. In other news the sky is blue.

I tried to find Jet today at a Walmart store, and could not find the one with Prince on the cover. The one they had on the newstand had Pam Grier (spelling). Think I may have waited too long, and missed it.

Perhaps I should have put it another way!!!! How about a really IN DEPTH interview in a SERIOUS music magazine like Mojo, Q, Rolling Stone, Uncut, Word magazine, etc.????

Ebony and Jet are, to a certain extent, very tabloidy and in the same vein as the National Enquirer and US Weekly!!!

What magazine are you reading?

Desire2006 said:

First Ebony and now Jet magazine, what has he got against white magazines????

Wow you really said that!!!??? You have gotta be kidding...right??? Did you say this because he is Black and it is a real problem for you that he is??? Would it make a difference if he were green or better yet purple??? Prince can be on any magazine it doesn't matter. But as soon as he is identified as a Blackman oooohhh no let's not have that....now he's got something against white magazines!!

Your statement was a reaction without any forethought....

didn't know magazine havecolors !!!prefer 2 ignore that !

Ummmm..no.

When he was growing up, he probably fiended for the latest Jet, just like the rest of 'us'... lol

Reverend said:

brilliant!

One of the things I dig most about Prince is his sense of humor, especially the self-deprecating "skinny MF with the high voice/ smelling like a fallen star/ Purple Yoda" kind. I think behind closed doors he'd give props for this, Ming, and Mork. Well played.
