Although I can't stand "RS" as much as I used to, ( I guess I just don't
like or know the newer music as much as the music I grew up with - Its
only my opinion, but i suppose if I were in college theses days, it
would all be different..) I still look forward to getting the magazine
becaues of that "all important" write up on a new album or tour from
a group that I like. 

Until I joined this group, I always turned to the "random notes" section
as a source of Who news. Now i get more Who news in a week then I get in
6 months in RS...

If "RS" was founded on groups such as the Who, Stones, etc..Then I feel that
there should be a little more integrity to the magazine as far as keeping 
dedicated readers informed on status of the bands.

JB is right. They seem to have enough space for all the perfume ads
and jeans ads. I bet they could put a section for classic rock in 
their magazine.

( Hee heee....Maybe I should write them a letter for their "mail page" ;)
