Summary: Is this an entertainment magazine or Obama's mouthpiece?
Comment: The recent issue of Rolling Stones (Metallica on cover) is the recent and probably the last issue I would buy. This magazine's music stories are still great but hey what happened to it? It's now turned to be a hard Leftie magazine intended to mislead readers. This is sad that a reputable magazine like Rolling Stones has become a mouthpiece for any candidate, be it Hussein O or McCain. It doesn't matter whom they favor to me. What matters is that they have lost their credibility to remain an objective and fair publication. Will never buy this again!

Summary: The Politics Aren't the Problem...
Comment: Rolling Stone used to be great. In fact, I still enjoy the movie reviews from Peter Travers. However, when you review approximately an album a month and don't even go near the indie world, things get a bit messed up. This month, I was hoping to see their reviews on the new Slipknot and Underoath albums. Nope, not there. And while hardcore isn't exactly the most prominent music on earth, they haven't even heard of Underoath. And did I mention that they gave Kanye West's Graduation five stars a while back? Even worse they gave the Carter III four and a half. Uh-huh, uh-huh. This magazine rates albums exactly as the American public loves them. Everyone loves Lil' Wayne? Cool, we'll give his new horrible album classic status! And instead of writing columns about indie bands who people need help discovering, at least mainstream nicempoops, they write about the '08 classic rock revival as if the whole world is paying attention. Let's get one thing straight: AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, Motley Crue, and for god's sake, Judas Priest, nobody cares anymore! You might have been hip one time, but not anymore! Get over yourself. The most independent band I think they have ever mentioned is Death Cab. While a terrific band, it proves how limited Rolling Stone is in their music views. Very sad, yes. And seriously, they've reviewed like 15 albums in the past year.
And everyone should quit bashing them for their politics, because those aren't the problem. Any mainstream music mag should hate the republicans, and so should everyone else. Or was Bush not bad enough for you? Good day.

Summary: Boycotting Rolling Stone
Comment: Wenner Media, the owner of this magazine, is responsible for shameless attacks on Sarah Palin and obvious bias in journalism. I, for one, won't be buying anything associated with Wenner Media. If they go bankrupt, it's their own fault and rightly deserved.

Summary: Out with the old ...
Comment: Interesting to read these unhappy reviews. I just started reading this 6 months ago, and it's now my favorite mag. I love the political commentary and banter, and check out the latest songs suggested on rhapsody. Maybe it's not what it used to be, but I sure like it! :)

Summary: I CAN'T WAIT 'till my 4 year, $6.49 subscripsion is over!
Comment: I used to absolutely LOVE RS, but now, let's just say I'm tired of being bashed over the head with their flawed, overly biased, one-way political ideology. I mean really, TWO Obama covers in a few weeks? Jeeze. The only thing they didn't do was put a halo and beard on him. I wonder if they realize they're just preaching to the choir? They will only have so many readers (the same ones over and over...) and pretty much that's it. They can't REALLY care about NEW readers, only their base, so what's the point? I'd be willing to bet they're wooing very, very few converts. Think of it as "Tiger Beat" for the Pseudo-intellectuals who want all to think they're good people because the use paper instead of plastic, or one square of toilet paper (as Sheryl Crow recommended) to "save the planet."
Is it worth getting? If you get a CHEAP subscription like I did, and use it primarily for entertainment purposes. Once in a while, you might find something interesting, but rarely unbiased. (RS ALWAYS has Jann Wenner's ponderous footprint all over it.)
Why didn't I cancel it? for the above mentioned reasons, AND for the money, it's worth it just to have them send it and pay the postage. I've got two more months and it's over!
