[net.music] Rolling Stone

Is it just me, or is Rolling Stone magazine just a worthless piece of
excessively opinionated cruft (that's about 90% advertising)?

Well, you probably like Cindy Lauper, Loverboy, etc.
If you like Rock 'n' Roll, you buy Rolling Stone.
If you like stupid pop- (which many people think is Rock 'n' Roll),
then stay away from Rolling Stone magazine.  Its that simple.

Rolling Stone is indeed a bit of irrelevant fluff these days. I used
to pay attention if they gave an album 4 stars; onw it's the kiss
of death, guaranteed mediocrity. The switch came when they left 
San Francisco for New York and got culture. Barf. They shouldn't be
charging for the thing, or I shouldn't be paying for it. Musician
magazine is a good place to look for the sort of material that used
to be in RS, in the music field anyway.

Funny, I remember Rolling Stone giving Cindy high marks for here album.
They must have had a new writer that used to work for Circus. [:-)].
In all seriousness, come off it!  I've been reading Rolling Stone, off
and on, since its first year of publication.  It blows with the wind
just like every other music publication.  The fact that you may have
just discovered it recently doesn't mean it has always looked this way
or always will.  It's that simple.

BTW, just what this net needs.  Another "critic" with all the answers.
