apollaRight, so I've got like, just over a thousand words done and I'm bored still.
I've also written mythology for a made up place. For a while now I've been writing this original story about a made up region of the world, complete with countries and kings and queens and wars etc etc. Anyway, for the main country, an island, I've actually made up their myths and legends. This is how bored I am, how much I don't want to write about the ethics of Rolling Stone (they don't have any and are basically just ads that cost nearly six dollars). Can you blame me for wanting to write about why the soldiers of this particular country cut their hair off during wartime but allow it to grow as long as they like in peacetime? Or why the people of the country plant beautiful flowers at their front gates? Or why the princesses of the country have never married into another royal family in another country. I'm fucking mad and behind on my work. Will now cut myself off from the internet. I think it may be the only way.

What time is this paper due?

However, one could argue whether Rolling Stone is a barometer of musical fashion or a dictator of it. It celebrated grunge when grunge was big - but would we have known grunge was big if RS hadn't celebrated it? Would that argument go down well with your lecturer?

To sum RS in 2004 up: Not one single review, not even Janet Jackson or Eric Clapton, gets half a page for words. Sunglass Hut gets a six page spread to sell us crap sunglasses.
