Hi folks! De-lurking for a mo... Speaking as I do from the country that produces that vacuous rag the NME as well as style bible the Wire.. let's remember that Rolling Stone was produced by an SF scenester who was a Grateful Dead groupie (and I'm a fan, of the group [not the mag]) The NME in the '80's in its political phase was doing little more than ape Rolling Stone during its head-shop hey-day of 70-74. Mind you NME's writers weren't as good. Anyhow RS was always a style bible more than a committed music paper--- I have no problem with this and if extracts from "serious" writers helped turn people on to lit and criticism I think that's fine. But talking shit about Shakiria et al is just more of the same old same old...

From William Crump
There is no difference between Rolling Stone and People. How many years since it's actually been a music magazine?
That's an interesting question. What were the RS' best years? Is there an (online-)history or article about the magazine's different phases?
