RE: The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time : Rolling Stone

[Joe Armendariz <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm...notwithstanding the colorful prose...RS was apparently important enough 
to JP, RP and JPJ that they all agreed to pose for the cover (together) in 
advance of their 02 show.

Regardless of what we think as individuals of RS, it is a cultural icon as 
entertainment magazines go.

It is the Playboy Magazine of its genre...

We can all punch holes in Time Magazine, Mother Jones, The New Republic or 
National Review...depending on our particular political bias. Indeed, all of 
these mags are rags unworthy of our collective respect...it doesn't change the 
fact these magazines do challenge peoples pre-suppositions; shape 
impressionable minds generation after generations and impact public opinion 
which ultimately manifests its power through the electoral results of our body 
politic. This, after all, is why these mags were created. In that regard they 
succeed to a limited but certain extent.

In the case of RS...add "entertainment" to the mix and you have a potent recipe 
for cultural and social propaganda.

THAT is why I care. THAT is why it is important to call them out for what I 
consider to be an outrageous injustice to THE greatest rock guitarist alive 
today.

If not us? who? If not now? when?

I urge a letter writing campaign to the editors of RS so that they will know 
they are guilty of committing an unpardonable crime against humanity. lol.

their best day....please

nothing.

"Possibly the most influential guitarist in the history of the  instrument?
Doesn't seem right"

I admire your enthusiasm and loyalty but  "most influential in the history
of the instrument"? Lets not get carried  away...........
