I can't help it, with all the new ways to receive information I still skip happily like a 9 yr old with a lollipop when I know it is the day my Rolling Stone Magazine comes in the mail. I can't help my committed love to the mag. I love the new music I find, the salty articles about the next "arshole" politician being called out for doing something really stupid. I am here to say that although Bush has been "way to easy", I give to the Rolling Stone for coming up with such hilarious and creative ways of showing the downfalls and stupidity of the man again, and again, and again, and- well you know that could go on forever.
But seriously, it's hard to stay that creative over the same stupidity for THAT long!! Yet I will have to say, that I love the articles in RC about politics, they have a great talent or ambition to write about big and small points on both sides of the spectrum. Another thing I love about my RC (as well as the Daily Show) is they make fun of everyone, they don't leave anyone out of the lime light! Everyone is cut down and beat up for their actions or remarks.
With that, I have found a new love within my dear RC, the RC blog, OH what joy and excitement I have when reading the short pieces and the comments thereafter!! I especially love the Capri Lounge
where all the editors (also known as gods) go to rant and rave/bitch about everything and anything. So enjoy all, and don't judge my old print ways, I have taken my old love and brought myself into the future, but always with my beloved RC.

seriously. I am the same way. I don't care that some think Rolling Stone is past it's prime. It probably is. That doesn't mean I don't LOVE reading Pop Life and the Smoking Section.
I have to admit that I have never really picked up a Rolling Stone and read one from cover to cover. I always browse through them quickly between flights at the airport, but your blog post has my curiosity up that I actually want to see if the mag is worth all the raves.
I second Chase's comment. I've maybe looked at a couple articles while waiting in a doctor's office, or even while waiting in line to get my groceries. But, the only time I can remember picking up a Rolling Stone's magazine is when Britney Spears was on the cover. I know that's been a long time, but after reading your article it strikes an interest.
Rolling Stone is still relevant despite its many competitors and recent pop cheesy covers. I wish it would return to covers that didn't include Shania in an ACDC t-shirt. The political articles are interesting and while I always read them, they are so left wing biased in the way Fox News is right wing biased. I have a subscription that lasts until 2010 and have had it since I was 14. I'm with you on the anticipation thing, waiting for the mail for my new issue.
