I have only one comment to make about this cover, and it’s a comment I know you won’t read anywhere else.
Some people, somewhere around the world, are seeing this magazine and they have no clue who the person on this cover is. Is he a rock star? Is he a successful college drop out? I mean, when I hear people talk about music, I still catch them saying “their new album is the bomb!”
Alas, they discover the harsh truth of who is on the cover.
Today, I don’t think of all those arguing over the decision to put Tsarnaev on the cover should be embossed. Today I think we should examine how information spreads and news reaches previously deaf ears and blind eyes.
For giving us the chance to do that, Rolling Stone, thank you.
