Rolling Stone is Dead
Rolling Stone magazine used to be synonymous with rock n roll. Using traditional journalistic standards and avoiding radical politics, the magazine became a hit in 60's. Somewhere along the line Jann Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone sold his company to target a younger audience. The magazine started focusing on sex, film actors, and left wing politics. It is about that time where the magazine started to suck. I think it would be hard to pick up an issue of Rolling Stone and actually read anything dealing with music nowadays.
Sometimes we are too idealistic here at BnR.com. We would like to think that we can change a giant corporate machine from the inside. Hence why two of our staff writers applied for internships at Rolling Stone magazine. We thought that if we could write for Rolling Stone, that we would get it back to the land of music and away from the vortex of suck. The exploits are detailed in three parts: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. But even we were not prepared for the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
I am not going to link to the article or the cover, but it contains the Jonas Brothers. The flavor of the month from Disney. The fucking Jonas Brothers are on the cover of Rolling Stone. To top this off, the author of said article is named Jason Gay. If you have a subscription to this magazine, cancel it. You are wasting your money in a recession.
It is a shame that a magazine so revered in counter culture has now taken up residence with bloated corpses and industry hacks. Together they continue to extend the flavor of the month by years instead of letting them be short lived like a cumshot. Rolling Stone should be out looking for talented, local rock n rollers ready to kick your ass and take your sister. That is where you can turn to us. We will bring the talented, unheard of bands, so you can save the money on the Rolling Stone subscription and buy tickets to the shows or CDs or whores.
