I think they'll only be as good as the artists of the times. That's just me.

Adisa said:

And there you have it. There's so much wrong with the music industry right now that it's only logical that the journalism would follow suit.

theAudience said:

wow thanks for posting

What do you mean boring political stuff? The political reporting is the only thing good about it. Matt Taibi is amazing.

DirtyChris said:

Actually they named Hissing... the worst album title of '75. Mitchell misspoke about it in an interview years later, and it sort of started this meme that RS had called it the worst album of the year, when that really wasn’t the case at all.

Anx said:

I took a stab at Lipstick Traces ten years back or so - I tried ever so hard to read it, but finally I just grew exasperated, threw it in the corner and it's remained unread by me. He may have been saying something worthwhile, but it wasn't interesting to me and I sure wasn't interested in the way he said it.

Latest news: Michael Jackson is sueing their asses

I actually enjoy that series on MTV about working at Rolling Stone. It's enjoyable, even if MTV is airing it later and later on Sunday nights. Guess it has to make room for all the "My Sweet 16 Remix" episodes...

Sueing RS for what?
Ignoring him?

i like a lot of the non-music related articles. the music stuff doesn't so much suck as it is dated by the time it is published. RS is late to the game most of the time.

Even a music magazine like Vibe?

thedoorkeeper said:

No,
Michael thought Rolling Stone was the title of one the Beatles songs he bought.

Illustrator said:

No. For the ad campaign where they say "Rolling Stone... where music and sex come together" (or something like that) and then they show the sparkly white glove holding a child's hand.

DarlingDiana said:

Hot shit! For real? I've never seen that.


Evil!
