In the new issue of Rolling Stone, on stands now, Jon Stewart talks to Rolling Stone Executive Editor Eric Bates about his disappointment in Obama, political satire in the post-Bush era and how the 24/7 media is corroding the national debate. You can read some choice quotes from the article and check out exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from backstage at The Daily Show in this gallery.

Rolling Stone also covered Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth's Big 4 concert at Yankee Stadium, chatted with the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne about his band's new six-hour song, talked to Debbie Harry about 9/11 and Blondie's new album and discussed fashion with Florence and the Machine's Florence Welch. We also talked to the makers of new documentaries about Pearl Jam, Neil Young, U2 and Paul McCartney.

On the pop culture front, Peter Travers raved about the new existential action movie Drive, and we recapped the latest episodes of Jersey Shore and True Blood.
