Rolling Stone subscribers- Is this magazine any good? I almost want to subscribe because I love music but Fleetwood Mac seldom gets any articles or even mentions and it seems like Marykate and Ashley are on their cover every two weeks!

I had it for awhile and even though it had some pretty decent articles occasionally, I quickly tired of reading about Beyonce, Limp Bizkit, Hootchie Spears, and J Ho. And Jessica Simpson. Bleh.

RS has really been disappointing me for a while now. It has nice pictures and articles sometimes, but when it comes to actual music journalism, it's crap, IMO.

I subscribe to

People (have for over 10 years)
Child
Parents
Mary Engelbreit
Technically speaking, I guess I'd include the Journal of Court Reporting...it's included with the annual dues to the organization.

I'm going to drop Child, Parents and Mary Engelbreit, though. But I love my People!!!

I don't have any subscriptions (though I subscribed to Seventeen and YM in high school and used to subscribe to Psychology Today and Poets and Writers), but there are a few that I find myself buying often enough.

Curve
Advocate
Girlfriends
Rolling Stone
Performing Songwriter
The Sondheim Review

Makes me smirk and turn the page. That's why I ditched Men's Health. I think they are trying to compete with HMV, Stuff, and those other soft core porn mags.

I really can't say enough. it's actually hard for me to do, to just even quiet my mind enough to start, and also, my whole life i've done sports that work against flexibility - the back of my legs and hip flexors and just that whole thing are incredibly tight (though muscular

) All these things make me know that i really, really need yoga. Also i find that when it's hard for me to sit down and do my homework, it's best if i do yoga first, it calms and focuses my monkey mind enough so that i can concentrate on the boring law stuff.
I'm soooo glad you did it, keep it up!!!! you'll gain unimaginable benefits! And, I was gonna ask you, have you met any people yet? Maybe from this class you will....

AMber

Yeah - I hope to keep it up - although next weekend I'm going to give Pilates a try and see how I like that - the legs and butt are a target area for me...so Pilates is appealing...but I want to keep doing the Yoga because I really liked the way I felt afterward....

As far as meeting people - nothing yet - but I've not made any real effort - I actually found this group called RATS (Rochester Area Twenty-Somethings) it's a young professional group - they do community volunteer stuff, social night etc....it's for random young, out of college professionals...it is NOT a singles group lol...but I'm going to go to an event they're having this weekend- hopefully I'll meet some interesting people that way...

I figure I have to go to the yoga more than once but eventually could meet people there - they all seemed like a neat group...

How long have you been doing yoga?

I have to keep up with fashion, so Cosmo, Glamour, Marie Claire, and Martha Stewart Living. I love to read music magazines too, but I don't subscribe to the ones I like. They are just too expensive to get every month in the mail. At over a hundred dollars for one year/per magazine, I'll just go to Borders and buy the ones I want. I love MOJO, Uncut, and Classic Rock. They're all British magazines. I guess that is why the subscriptions are so much!

That is a good idea. And, I mean, there are Buffy the Vampire Slayer magazines. If one little tv show that was canceled years ago can have an entire magazine, why not Fleetwood Mac?

Hello!!! And guess what you turn the page and find???

ANY magazine that has ads for "man to man phone action", mail order butt plugs and vintage "man on man XXX movies" (HELLLL-O!) is just NOT for straight dudes.
And yes ladies, Playgirl IS a soft-core gay rag. When all the models are gay, and the majority of the advertisements are gay, you can write off the commentary from the Editor and the horrible Harlequin romance masturbation stories.
