By; Steve Boucher (Interesting post below from show listener on Rolling Stone Magazine featuring Boston Marathon terror bomber on front cover...).... ...What do you do when your magazine becomes irrelevant? You put a bomber on the cover to ignite a firestorm and get people talking. The only problem with that strategy is that your target audience will not only bash your decision; they will also boycott your product. You can go straight to hell Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone features Boston bombing suspect on cover foxnews The cover of Rolling Stone magazine has most often been the domain of musicians, actors, comedians, and the occasional politician..Like · · Share · 17 minutes ago near Manchester · 2 people like this..View 5 more comments..Cynthia Tebbetts I support the statement made by the Dropkick Murphys-- "Rolling Stone you should be ashamed. How about one of the courageous victims on your cover instead of this loser scum bag!" #RollingStone7 minutes ago · Like · 2..Steve Boucher I particularly enjoyed this rant by Disturbed frontman David Draiman - https://facebook/Disturbed/posts/10151741415632384 Disturbed #RollingStone HOW FAR THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN, I USED TO DREAM OF MAKING THE CO...VER OF ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE, AS IT USED TO BE THE ULTIMATE STATEMENT OF LEGITIMACY FOR AN ASPIRING MUSICIAN AND IT MEANT THAT YOU HAD REALLY MADE IT. OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS, ROLLING STONE HAS BECOME LESS AND LESS ABOUT MUSIC, AND HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE ABOUT BULLSHIT, POP CULTURE NONSENSE. EVEN THOUGH MANY OF US MAY NOT CARE FOR IT, WE WERE ABLE TO LIVE WITH IT...UNTIL THIS. BOMBER, OR A MADMAN WITH AN ASSAULT RIFLE, UNLEASHING FIRE UPON A SCHOOL FULL OF CHILDREN, IS ON YOU. MAY YOUR CONSCIENCES (IF YOU EVEN HAVE THEM) WEIGH IMMEASURABLE HEAVY ON YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES. I CONDEMN THIS ACT, THIS NOTION, AND THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF (beep...beep...) RAG OF A MAGAZINE. MAY THE POWERS THAT BE HAVE MERCY UPON YOUR SOULS, BECAUSE THE NEXT TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS, I ASSURE YOU, THE WORLD WONT. -GO TO (beep...)
