I was wondering because I used to, but now I can't stand it.
Am I just old? If I have to read another Rolling Stone Interview featuring Clapton, Bono....the same old suspects. Over and over. They have a new generation of young artists they cater to, like they used to cater to older favorites.
I remember the first Rolling Stone I had, begged my mom to buy it for me from the local convenience store. Jon Voight was on the cover, 1979.
I was 13 and felt like I had entered some kind of club of coolness.
I ended up subscribing to it non-stop from 81-89.
Now I can't stand it.

Oh man, that's funny, your experience sort of mirrors my own.
I think I stop subscribing in the early 90s but I'd still buy 'notable' issues. I stopped buying altogether by the new millennium.
I still have all my old ones in boxes though!
Well, those were the days of Hunter Thompson. And all through the 80s, I used to read William Greider religiously. He was great, but he's been gone for years.Quote

Haven't read it in years, but when I had a subscription in the years 1972-75, my father used to ask to borrow it. He liked the political coverage.
After Jann Wenner, the editor, moved the magazine from San Francisco to New York in 1977, the mag became a glitzy celebrity chronicle. Wenner said San Francisco had become "a provincial backwater" when he moved the magazine to NYC.
