I got RS for over 25 years, until Al Bore was on the cover a few years ago, I e-mailed and cancelled. The last few years I had it, reminded me of an overdone 16 magazine from the 60's.
No wonder the yearly subscription price can be had at magazine sites for $3.95 a year! What a shame.

Most people didn't watch an 18 or 19 year old Playboy model grow up literally in front of their eyes. It's kind of like lusting after a niece. I know, probably not the best comparison. But it just seems a little weird.
About the disturbing picture from their RS spread that someone posted above.....kind of looks like something from a Marilyn Manson video.
And regarding Q being so expensive. Yes, it's outrageous. However, it's the only magazine that takes me several days to read. I enjoy every single article and review.

I think it comes down to that. Growing up with these kids in your (tv) life I personally can't see them for anything other then those to babies from Full house. Weird indeed. not to mention this whole hype for these two started when they were like 14-15 so it's still odd to think folks were lusting over them for a good while now.

i have to admit, though, that the one thing RS does have going for it is Peter Travers. i quite like his reviews and typically agree with his opinions..

Now as for Nat. Portman, it's different. I was the same age when Leon came out. so it's sort of a crush that has grown in time.

What is their current subscription rate? All I ever hear or read is people badmouthin RS yet they are still around. It's been a long time since I picked up an issue (I think it was their first interview with Guns-N-Roses) and I don't see people reading it at all.

RS is total BS. The choices for their covers are a joke. The Olsen Twins? Why not The Dandy Warhols or another band that has a new CD released?
Don't even get me started on the so-called "Women in Rock" issue. Another load of total BS. Another strike against them: they gave the Aimee Mann and Pete Yorn's latest CDs 2 star ratings while salivating all over the latest pre-packaged corporate releases.
Gee, who will be on the cover next? Tara Reid? Jason Biggs? or perhaps Paris Hilton!

I'm sure the cast of "The OC" will be on the cover next.

RS magazine is so irrelevant in the music world that it has almost become funny.
