Oh captain, my captain

So I'm reading through the new issue of Rolling Stone, the one with The Sheepdogs on the cover.  Who the fuck are The Sheepdogs and how did they win a contest to be on the cover of Rolling Stone?  Man, what the fuck?! 

Anyway, more importantly, Captain Beefheart, the incredibly influential and creative musician with a huge catalog of work (12 albums with "The Magic Band" alone) died in Dec. 2010.  His impact on modern popular music is immeasureable.  Rolling Stone gave him a 3/4 page memorial article noting his life, music and death.  Amy Winehouse dies after releasing two records and gaining more notoriety for her tragic drug and alcohol addiction than music anyway, and she gets 6 pages and several other photos scattered throughout the issue. 

This is what is wrong with music.  Right here.  It's completely absurd.  Fuck you Rolling Stone, you suck.  Rabble-B
