Rolling Stone: Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan, or Matt Taibbi on Goldman Sachs

The new issue has Lady Gaga, the previous issue had the 70 Greatest Dylan songs, and some people think that Matt Taibbi was soft on Goldman Sachs.  Or maybe you just want to check out what Mojo has to say about Marley!

Elizabeth Taylor Commemorative Magazines

 

Why Rolling Stone with a redhead?  (yes, even I know that it is Rihanna)  Because Rolling Stone dug through their archives to find the "lost" interview with Elizabeth Taylor, done by Jonathan Cott in 1987.  

Wholphin and a Few Others

 

Wholphin #12 came in, new to us from McSweeney's, a dvd magazine of rare and unseen short films.

WSJ's Buzzard of the National Parks.

The Weekend Edition of the WSJ has a provocative article about Thomas Chapman, who buys inholdings in the National Parks. He then presents wilderness and other open space advocates with his plan to develop it, but says that he will sell it to them (at a profit) if they really don't want him to develop the land. His latest project has been a parcel inside the Black Canyon of the Gunnison (Colorado). Finding no public interest group as a taker, he subdivided the land, built a grand mansion with view, and now is offering the property for far more than his original asking price.

If you don't know about private land and inholdings, this might be a good article to pique your curiosity, and then decide if he is an Atlas Shrugged hero, a creep who should be stopped, or just a man who saw a loophole.

High Country News' article in 1999 used more forceful language.
