Rolling Stone's Latest Issue Doesn't Fail to Entertain

The Feb. 19 issue of Rolling Stone features many political, musical and pop culture references throughout the issue as well as young-adult geared articles and advertisements. The 42-year-old magazine, based out of New York City, can often be seen as a music-lover’s go-to for everything happening today. Rolling Stone publishes many “lists” annually such as the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” and the “500 Greatest Artists of All Time”.
This issue, featuring many photos and commentary on President Obama’s inauguration, focused primarily on the musical performances following the ceremony. Performers such as Aretha Franklin, Sheryl Crow, U2 and many others were shown at what Rolling Stone calls the “Rock & Roll Inauguration”. Also, a six-page feature on Sean Penn, star of the new film “Milk”, was included in the entertainment line-up. As per usual, Rolling Stone featured the latest on the music charts, as well as film and album reviews. Though the organization of the magazine could use some tweaking, Rolling Stone does an excellent job of staying on top of the entertainment industry.
Rolling Stone winds every relevant musical, political and social aspect of U.S. entertainment today into one exciting magazine. Through incredible photography and cut-throat reviews, Rolling Stone never fails to please. Though geared towards 20-somethings, any Rolling Stone fan can agree that the magazine has something to offer everyone.
