rolling stone magazine is drawing fire
they've made the decision to place the boston bomber
dzhokhar tsarnaev on the cover of their latest issue
he looks like your average rocker and critics are angry for
the magazine blurring the line between fame and infamy
they say it sends a dangerous message to tsarnaev's
warped supporters and also fans of the door's jim morrison
they're upset because the photo makes this sociopath islamist
look like a rock star, yet today, most rockers look sociopathic
the magazine hits newsstands tomorrow, i changed the photo
but today, the folks in boston are saying it's despicable
and there are 1000's of negative comments on social media
there's even a facebook page urging a boycott of the magazine
which is difficult because first you have to find social media
people that actually ever buy a magazine
rolling stone's covers have always featured great rock'n' roll
role models like roman polanski, o. j. simpson and
that famous rocker, charles manson
when is the last time ol' charlie dropped a new hit album
but i don't blame the rolling stone, they gotta try something
the print magazine industry is dying a horrible death
- maybe it's from spending so much time in doctor's waiting rooms
the magazine has long been read for it's hard hitting journalism
- just like playboy
so in the end, does it matter that dzhokhar is on the cover
- well, it's true that they will sell some more magazines
like dr. hook says in his hit song
he'll at least buy five copies for his mother
OUR THANKS ONCE AGAIN TO THE COLBERT REPORT
