Word on the Street: Rolling Stone Cover Controversy

5 out of 5 stars upset! The cover should be reserved for MUSICIANS ONLY, like Lil’ Wayne, Clay Aiken and Charles Manson! 

Stewart Simpson, Eclectic music fan

4 out of 5. Don’t get me wrong I’m a huge fan of independent artists like Dzhokhar, I just don’t think he’s earned this yet.

Lois Goldman, Would be fine with a Ted Kaczynski cover 

I hated it so . . . 1 out of 5? I don’t get how this works.

Peter Bryant, More of a thumb position guy

4 ½ out of 5! I’m going to show them my frustration by buying every copy I can find and burning them!

Brian Peters, Sticking it to the man

1 or 2 out of 5, I guess. I actually kind of liked it but the Boston Globe totally beat them to it . . . he was on their cover months ago!

Christopher Todd, Should be more outraged!
