Thanks! You too on your travels. I hope you'll write more.
Joan Didion said of the time at Rolling Stone that she was beginning “to doubt the premises of all the stories I had ever told myself.” I think she and a few more of those journalists might have doubted much more. She never wrote about punk or rave culture. RS ignored hip hop. I think having a few more Black journalists and less elitism might have helped the magazine a great deal.
Thanks for the book recs and good luck on your travels! What are your thoughts on Rolling Stone separating itself from the counter culture these days, compared to back when Morris was writing for them?
