Even better, go read it at a library. Don't spend money on that TP.

Thanks for directing me towards the rockcritics.com Paul Nelson section. I didn't really pay attention when he passed in July, but testimonials are actually quite moving. I may actually wind up buying an issue of RS. Don't tell anyone.

No matter how transparently Rolling Stone smokes Major Label dick in their music coverage, no matter how inane and publicist-driven their review sections, no matter the way they hop on every pop-culture bandwagon six months too late, you have to admit that the 'serious' writing in the Rolling Stone is often the best thing published in a mass-market periodical.

The article in the 'Snoop Dog' issue about commercial pork production was really solid, and fascinating, if horrifying, reading. Really. You'll never eat bacon again. MMMMmmmm Bacon...
