I think it's something that was obvious to some readers for the first few years of RS's existence. My uncle summed it up this way: "The same magazine that put Jim Morrison on the cover decades after his death trashed him constantly while he was alive" He also told me that they loved Janis Joplin until she dumped her first (San Francisco) band despite the fact that they were universally regarded as bad musicians - "played like they were wearing gardening gloves" Uncle Kevin says.
