   This mag has always tried to juggle its (somewhat narrow) world of music with the celebrity that sells the mag. This photo is a jugate of trying to juggle the pair by featuring this juggernaut of celebrity. That jugglery can allow someone like Sinead to go for the jugular in blaming the mag for an imbalance in this jugate.

     Oh they cross that bridge and set it on fire along time ago.

   Sinead O’Connor is right. The cover girl is famous for only five things, two in front of her, two behind and a rather disgusting sex tape. But this isn’t about KK. It’s about how vapid Rolling Stone has become.

   Not really related, but if you like Dennis Leary, he has a new show on FX Thursday at 10pm called Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll.

   Looks pretty funny from the commercials.

   Rolling Stone “killed it” decades ago.

   And Sinead O’Connor is just as pathetic.

   WK,

   Rolling Stoned’s last decent article was Sept. 2, 1982 (by Greil Marcus)

   http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/elvis-costello-repents-19820902

   Since then they’ve been the worst elements of an amalgam of Mother Jones (sh*tty politics) and Teen Beat (sh*tty music/arts/culture).

   FFS, it was only a few months back that RUSH (finally) made their cover: Jann Wenner is a mother*cking prick.

   Yours truly,

   Niall from Winnipeg
