regardless its good he's starting to get respect... this is just the beginnign of a whole new prince era... though i think they should pay more attention to music, you have to admit that the narration is hard to digest for anyone. for some, it adds continuity. for others, it can sway their opinion of the entire album. as drastic of a departure as some of the tracks/lyrics are from previous prince material, its a love it/hate it album. also, rollingstone is usually pretty biased towards more rock influenced albums. 'musicology' has more of that than 'trc.' | |

Here's a link I found to an open letter to RS about their Women of Rock issue a while back. It's hilarious. 
http://www.crcradio.net/i...etter.html Yeah I remember that letter, it was dead on. And actually another issue of their Women In Rock series (30th anniversary issue) was one worth keeping. I THINK it was their first with that title.This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

But Rolling Stone lost its relevance as a musical and social issues magazine more than a decade ago. The fact that it's worth reading once every blue moon doesn't make up for the fact that Wenner & company are just jumping on a popular bandwagon because the zeitgeist has once again caught up with Prince. Wenner is running the People magazine of music magazines, and for serious fans of music the Olsen twins, and various Backstreet/N'Sync/Timberlake cover stories over the years not only alienates many, it's the epitome of the antithesis of what that publication once represented. This is NOT to say that during its best days they never had cover stories about those performers who weren't as important as others and just popular in the short run. But it's more for the teenybopper set nowadays. This is the same magazine that has recently given those aforementioned performers better reviews than they gave TRC. At least in its first 20 years it had more of an overall adult disposition and didn't pander to bandwagons. It was once worth my subscription money. Prince is on everybody's radar now, and Rolling Stone feels as if they have to be in on it. Their integrity is lacking. FUCK ROLLING STONE.  | |
