Do people really read Rolling Stone and believe what they print?

I don't read Rolling Stones. It's a waste of paper.

Rolling Stone isn't about music. It's about fashion and left wing politics

I've found Rolling Stone to be an acceptable substitute for toilet paper. Otherwise, it has no positive value.

And if Rush fans are "the Trekkies of Rock & Roll", then LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!!

I haven't read a rolling stone since 1998. I don't know what's important about that year, but that's the last time I remember reading one. And by 'read' I mean thumbing through it and looking at the pictures.

Rolling Stone hasn't been about music since Hendrix/Joplin died.

God Bless, Ray

I noticed the other day that Rolling Stone went smaller-format with a spined edge. Dunno how long they been doing that but it still didn't make me wanna pick it up...between that rag and "spin" back in the day, plenty of good paper for my dog to pee on when I ran out of newspapers...

i got a free subscription with a Rob Zombie shirt my parents got me and when i finally got it, i was really dissapointed. The only thing really worth reading was the Merle Haggard interview and I dont even like country at all. Everything else in there just pissed me off.

Not me. I could care less about that rag. I haven't looked through one in years.

You know, I picked up a Rolling Stone magazine a bit ago. It had some really cool live pictures, but the rest of it was politics, lame articles, and general crap.

Rolling Stone actually publishes things about music?? I can't see how they would between all the ads for hipster products...

Saw Rush in: 78, 79 & early 80.

They were so polished that every show was seemingly note for note perfect.

I read somewhere that they practice a new record something like 4 or 5 months straight before touring.
It shows.

The last time I read it was the Beatles issue about a month ago. Someone brought it in for me at work and I was bored and read it. Other than that...my sister reads that magazine...I don't.
