Damn you, Rolling Stone.

I hate the new cover of Rolling Stone. Yes, I know I'm behind the times, seeing as they changed the cover back in November, but a small part of me still believed that they would change it back. I've finally given up on that belief, and it's time for me to rant.


The most recent issue is #1072. That means that more than one thousand issues of Rolling Stone have been published with the larger-than-normal, staples, tabloid-style, traditional Rolling Stone cover, and all of a sudden this tradition means nothing? It was unique. It stood out. Rolling Stone was recognizable. And now it just looks like every other magazine on the shelves.


This is probably the single most pointless blog ever written... but I just want my old Rolling Stone back!

Rubbish, I'd say.

I was also very upset about the change! There's just something about holding that oversize magazine in your hands that feels familiar...I do miss it!
Although, I was pretty upset at first when I saw the Jonas Brothers on the cover (soo many other artists to choose from!), but after reading the article, I have a lot more respect for them!

Heather, I'm glad I'm not the only one who cares about this.

And I love the Jonas Brothers... I'm not going to lie. I went to the bookstore specifically to get that issue. I'm really glad that the article changed your opinion about them a bit! =]
