Isn’t it funny how everyone’s comment has some sort of i’m cooler than you with edgy catch phrase that sounds like its from a ‘Valley based Clash’ group. hah.

Is this part of some bright light bulb idea to make ALMOST FAMOUS Part 2?

Hasn’t the RS website said all along that each week entries would be due Friday at noon EST? The answer is yes.

To “the real crystal” who said “stay on top of it,” get real. Most people have things to do besides haunt the RS web site 24/7. It looks bad when RS kicking other people’s asses about deadlines and professionality — and then they can’t announce their own promotion on time.

It’s probably the work of an intern ….

the contest has been posted since monday just as it was last week and it will be for the rest of the competiitions. Wake up and pay attention people

I’m sorry I didn’t know about round one, but hearing about today’s contest with literally no time to attempt at getting an entry together? Was there notice to those who participated in the first phase that today was the second phase? Otherwise, seems kind of a rough shot with no notice for others to have virtually no chance to apply with no time to work!

Why send an email announcing the contest on Fri at 12:20 if it ended at 12:00 ??

Well, I’m not a fan of the show, that’s for sure. The web contest is a good idea though. Sure you don’t get to see us screw up, drink ourselves silly, or be general jackasses but maybe they’ll find someone who can actually write instead of reminding us all why we stopped watching MTV in the first place.

Dont blame the late emails people…stay on top of it and you wont have to wait for RS to notify you.

My email came too late to enter too.

No fair

SO WHO DID EVERYONE CHOOSE TO INTERVIEW…I did the guy who likes to walk with jesus!!!

Yea, Great idea but why the hell are most of us receiving this notification when it’s now too late to enter the contest. I love your magazine but can’t believe this oversight. What a shame. Guess I’ll remain ‘almost famous’ until the next decent talent contest you offer.

I love this idea. I interviewed a few bands for my college newspaper and radio station back in the day (Flogging Molly, P-Nut from 311, Citizen Cope, Maktub and Raining Jane) and I’ve had dreams of writing for Rolling Stone since I first read the magazine over 10 years ago. This is a great opportunity for aspiring journalists. I think the online contest is actually a better idea than the reality show.

Hey folks, I would’ve loved to have entered your writing contest but the entry arrived after the deadline. I’m good but my time machine is on the fritz. Last time I set it for Hamburg in 1960 and it dumped me at a McDonald’s on 19th and 60th so how about cutting a po’ boy some slack and sending the contest entry a at least a day earlier.

I’m getting this Weekly Newsletter with news of the contest AFTER the deadline. Came to me at 12:15 EST on January 19th. What’s up with that? I was going to win this thing! Can you guys fix this please? Thanks.

I dig this a lot. This is a great idea, really.

I want to complain that Canadians can’t enter. Just because I live north of the border doesn’t mean I’m any less of a writer. I want my fair chance!

WHAT IS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, CAN YOU SEND IT TO MINE AT LOCKWALD.MATTHEW.9769@DUPAGE.E DU

I’m about to enter my 10 questions for assignment number 2!!! The guitar is cool and all but if the artist could actually answer the questions I asked that would be so amazing!

This is very cool! I have actually interviewed some some badns for my school newspaper. I have interviewed Flogging Molly, G. Love and Special Sauce, Gogol Bordello, and Warren Haynes of Gov’t Mule and all of them said I could one day end up writing for Rolling Stone if i keep the writing up. Also they were really impressed by the types of questions that I asked and seemed shocked that an 18 year old really cares about there music that much.

Question for Jann Wenner:

1. Are you dead?
2. Are you sure?
3. If answer to 1 & 2 is yes, are you spinning in your grave yet?
4. Who is Keeley Hazell?
5. Is Hunter still dead?
6. Is he sure?
7. Where’s the beef?
8. Is Spin magazine coming back?
9. Is MAD magazine still out there?
10. Will you please do the memory of RS some justice and kill this abortion now, before it becomes totally dissimilar to the great magazine it once was, or are you happy torturously wringing every last bit of cash out of this dead bat?

HOW OFTEN DO YOU TAKE IT UP THE ASS?WAS COOL BEING RAPED BY YOUR DADDY & UNCLES?

I just think this is plain fun…i love looking up bands backgrounds and totally seem like i know them so that i can feel their music better.
These hypothetical situations are great ways to help me use this.

The hardest part of this assignment is not knowing what the interviewee’s answers are going to be. Normally, I’d ask follow-up questions to their answers, but in this case that’s virtually impossible.

Has anyone else tried submitting this assignment but cant access the contestant rules page? I’d be pretty aggrivated if I spent a good amount of time on this assignment but cant submit it.

I think that the problem that some of the people on the show have is that some of them have an big ego. They arent hungry for the chance to sit down with artist and really poke and prod them for all there knowledge. Some of the questions that were asked by the contestants were dry, arrogant and unprepared. When that guy interviewed Lupe Fiasco, I had probley 20 questions lined up that I couldnt believe he didnt ask. Then when he interviewed Ghostface Killah, he was so desrespectful, and haste with his questions. I wish that I was given that opportunity. Have these people ever heard of being humble. Some of them get so bent out of shape when told to revise. Last time I checked thats what editors do. I would be elated to be told to change something in my essay or whatever by a rollingstone editor.

“Undereducated”-Didn’t realize that was a word with the kiddies, huh.

And that last sentence is not a sentence, but a question, requiring a question mark at the end.

Who are you to wave your finger?

So assignment 2…they just want 10 questions?? It sounds simple but they are looking for something in our questions.

All of y’all are just jealous that these individuals were chosen to write for Rolling Stone. As horrible writers you think they are you know that you would switch places with them any day. You might act differently with a camera in your face while interviewing a superstar. I would like to see all of you haters even make it to were these guys are. You don’t make it to Rolling Stone by being a bad writer.

pussy u dont say thats my fuckin opion

I agree with Samantha (well, sort of.)

I’m in 8th grade, and I think I can write better than a few of the contestants.

But then I think, that’s my opinion and if Jann thinks they’re RS material, so be it.

I agree..then again if I was selected to be on the show I would have made the best out of the experience even though I never really read an article from RS.

I know at least 15 high school freshmen( and a few 8th graders) who would perform better as professional interviewers than this group. Further, they can certainly write circles around this motley crew that Rolling Stone has assembled for the show. It’s embarrassing to see how woefully undereducated and immature these interns are.If they aren’t drunk then they are put off by rewrites, or don’t bother to show up. They are surly and unprepared at interviews, and boast a baseless bravado. Are these losers the best Rolling Stone could attract.
