I think it maybe a personal thing which is unfortunate for a magazine that practically jumps out at your face on newsstands across the country.

I recall many years ago, in the sixties I believe, but I am unable to find anything further out there related to it online that in one article Rolling Stone magazine once referred to Gord as "a cowboy in drag" and he took offense to it. I don't have any follow information but you're right paskatefan they have been dismissive and whatever the inner workings are in the backrooms of the magazine world this is what we the readers read between the lines.

I'll sign off as one less purchaser of Rolling Stone magazine.
