Now, there's People, Us, Spin, Graffiti, and other music trade publications. Rolling Stone has softened up to meet with the competition. and the advertisers. The Stone has lost its original ttmte-ertmehintt journalistic quality, and the heavy qdttorUl content is usually hidden somewhere in the middle. Thank God Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, Aaron Latham, and like] Gilmore still contribute. But the cover??? E.T., Boy George, Julian Lennon and even.... Michael Jackson!! Editor/publisher Jann Wenner has sold out according to old R.S. readers, and in the movie Perfect it looks like Wenner, and screen-writer Aaron Latham (Latham is a Rolling Stone ',"t'i'l"i,'te,tr) are trying to prove their ‘no holds barred' image a tact. Perfect is the latest John Travolta escapade, and for once Travolta does a credible job. As Rolling Stone reporter Adam Lawrence, he's a smooth talking, sly guy, who will tape any conversation on contact. If it's the truth, he'll put it in print, with little regard for Nothing like a Rolling Stone.
