Elvis Presley
Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
So, I know someone who is interning at Rolling Stone this summer and I have repeatedly forced my opinions of thier general suckiness over the past 4-5 years to her.
The Britney/Justin/American Idol covers are only one of my many complaints about a rag that was formerlly "the" pulse of music..........
Here is a snippett from an email I got from her today explaining the Clay Aiken cover....
"covers sell magazines. to have a mag in
business, you have to sell, obviously. but, it is what is inside the cover that really
matters. so, while clay aiken or brittany spears may just play as "bait" in order to
sell (brittany on the cover sold a record amt....it is sad, but there is just a market
for that stuff) those covers allow us to grab the reader's attention and then fill the
inside pages with great stuff such as the feature on the war on iraq and a great
radiohead feature. you know? you can't judge a mag by it's cover....and you
have to remeber that RS has a job to do as well...sell magazines, or else there will
be no more RS. we are not an indie music mag, but like to feature a great
assortment of things. "
whatever...
