The Magazine formerly known as Rolling Stone

You wanna know how bad things must be getting at Rolling Stone? I cancelled our free subscription. It’s really sad, but they really do suck any more. Following the decline of Rolling Stone over the adult period of my life is like watching an addict grow old. You sense a certain amount of desperation, hallucinations, phobias, and a total lack of regard to the damage they do to those who associate with them.
The articles they have featured this month are so wrong it’s sad to read. What makes it so much sadder is they market themselves to stoned old liberals as well. And, from my experiences here and in real life, they’ll believe anything they’re told without question as long as it comes from another stoned old liberal. Facts are irrelevent. If Rolling Stone said it, it MUST be true.
Problem is, from reading what I read there, even Rolling Stone seems to have a problem with their conviction as they lash out with a high degree of desperation. It’s not enough to say someone hasn’t done a terribly good job at something, they have to embellish it and make it outlandish. I have always been firm in my belief that if you have to lie or make your point sound outrageous, you didn’t have a point in the first place. Rolling Stone lies AND makes unsubstantiated outrageous claims. Not only does that prove they don’t really have a point to make, it really proves to me that at this time, Rolling Stone is completely pointless.
That’s how bad things must be at Rolling Stone these days.
