I was shopping at Safeway and saw this on the magazine stand at one of the tills and like the sucker I am I bought it.
Seems like Rolling Stone puts out one of these Nirvana collector's issues every couple years now. I don't blame them as most of the issue is a bunch of collected stories from previous issues of Rolling Stone, so it's easy money. I still have a couple of the original issues some of the articles appeared in. Although with this April marking the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death I was expecting them to exploit that a little more and maybe go bigger. It needs to be a hardcover! With fancy gold lettering on the cover! With a dust jacket to protect said fancy gold lettering!
FYI, the mag is ridiculously overpriced, so save your $15. Yes, it costs it $15, and that's why corporate magazines suck.

The biggest shocker from this post was not the price of the Rolling Stone but the fact that you were shopping at Safeway.
I work at Superstore, but I shop at Safeway or Co-op. Even though Superstore is cheaper and I get a discount, I just can't do it.
