Re: Rolling Stone shrinking to regular magazine size
The size reduction is in direct relation to the reduction of quality music articles the magazine produces these days.

Re: Rolling Stone shrinking to regular magazine size
I'm mid-thirties now, so I'm really starting to 'not get' so much of the music that is out today....but I wonder how much of some of our lament isn't the exact sort of thing people used to lament in the 70's, the 80's, the 90's....

Re: Rolling Stone shrinking to regular magazine size
I think Rolling Stone is in some trouble. I've been getting that magazine free for going on 3 years now and I barely read much of it other than music CD previews and the occasional story. Obviously, if they are giving that many free subscriptions away via CD's I've purchased online they must really be in need of more subscribers. It's tried to turn itself into a music/entertainment/politics magazine and it really doesn't work. I wish they would just stick to music and provide more in depth stories about musicians and music industry trends.

Re: Rolling Stone shrinking to regular magazine size
Would Dr. Hook be as passionate today as they were in 1972?

But politics and music is why most went to the magazine in the first place, not for stories on movie stars or current teenny bopper sensations. |

Re: Rolling Stone shrinking to regular magazine size
I worked as a cash register guy/delivery guy in a small town pharmacy in the mid 1970's. I loved RS back then, always reading it at work cover to cover.
I ordered this issue of this magazine Saturday. If I like it I'll subscribe.
