Lately, I have been going through "stuff," and do I mean "stuff"...never knew how easy it is to accumulate "stuff"....In going through this stuff, I came across some old issues of Rolling Stone and SPIN. Mostly, the issues I saved were the annual yearbook issues or certain special issues and in going back through them I was amazed at the amount of information in them back then as compared to what is in Rolling Stone today.Of course, Spin folded years ago, but when it came out, wow, it was a great magazine with excellent music/societal journalism. Being a fan of CSN and Y, when it came out, it had a huge story on the "death" of David Crosby and that had me from the start. Since then, the demise of music and good popular culture journalism has lessened so much. Over the years there has been CMJ, Paste, Pop Culture Press and so many countless others. Now there are just so few.....so sad...
