A thousand issues and counting
Today marks the publication of issue 1000 for Rolling Stone Magazine.
No small mark in a world where things appear, mutate, disappear and reappear in a frenzy of market share points and changing tastes. Rolling Stone has been around for about as long as I’ve known that music went beyond what was available in the hour of local radio play each evening, and when I’ve had the occasion to read through a copy, I’ve always come away with a bit more (trivial) knowledge than before. Not trivial in my sense of the universe. The sheer volume of advertising has been a call to arms by times, but the bills must be paid.
So, I salute the editorial team and the publishing team and all the other teams that allow me my music press. Thank you for a job well done.
