Rolling Stones.


I remember there was a small amount of time when Nate and I actually lived in the same house, and he got the rolling stone magazine in the mail every month. I would secretly look through them when no one was looking, because I thought they were so cool. Not that I understood anything in the articles at the time.

Now, many years later, I receive those magazines in the mail, trying to gain cool points I suppose. Up until this point, I have had a respect for that magazine. Sure, it has some interesting articles and covers(lady gaga nude in pink bubbles) but most of the music oriented things are very interesting. And they give recognition to those who deserve it. But as of sunday night, I no longer give my respect to this magazine. Their latest edition is the 50 best of the past ten years. 50 best albums, movies, songs...

So as usual, there I sat enjoying my moment with my magazine. And I turn over to the 50 best songs of the past ten years. Immediately, I set out searching for coldplay. I mean...yellow, clocks, fix you and lost should be on that list...Not to mention, coldplay is my favorite band..favorite...I find clocks...Im gettin happy...And then I find yellow...YES!!! Until I read the caption...And this is where I begin to hate rolling stones. They decided to quote the first line of yellow...Thats awesome...except for the fact they quoted it wrong.....

"Look at the stars...See how they shine for you.." is not the right lyrics.

Anyone who listens to Coldplay knows that. How hard is it to double check before print? Ignorance....Stupid writers....

Who cares about being cool anymore?
