I'm not that big a new music fan, I'm 62, but I like the articles on just about anything.Good political article every month and nice reviews of movies, etc. Still a quality magazine.

Arrived quickly, current and 2 back volumes. Rolling Stone is smaller and thinner than it used to be, the size of a regular magazine, but it is good quality journalism.

I was surprised by how broad this magazine is. Yes it covers music, and fortunately all types, not just the current crop of one-hit-wonders. But it covers important issues of the day like the BP Gulf oil disaster and how the government is mishandling oil management. It's not afraid to cover relevant issues like General McChrystal's view of the White House and his abrasive personality.

I'll keep it short:
Not the hugest music fan. Never really pay attention to music as it happens, I tend to enjoy it more passively.
That being said, I took the offer for a 6 dollar one year subscription thinking I would see how the mag was.
Turns out my first issue was the one in which Gen. McCrystal basically did some Obama bashing. This article made international headlines
and cost McCrystal his job. YES ROLLING STONE!
Since then I have been absolutely, positively, blown away by their stories. They have covered the gulf spill wonderfully calling out all
the right major players.
I am really enjoying the articles this mag puts out.
On a second note, I am now more into musicians and bands and their stories, than I am the music. The writing is that engaging!
