In their last edition (at least in the web), Rolling Stone magazine runs an article called "Rock's 50 greatest meltdowns", a bit like that Spin's article about rock scandals. I just browsed the first 10 but it seems funny, if not surprising. The big surprise for me was item no. 1: "Michael Jackson vs. The Devil", where they diss out Jacko's misfortunes, child molestation included. Rather unusual for a big US magazine like this one, but he deserved it anyway!
I guess they don't have an interview with MJ since... 20 years? And the guy isn't selling millions either...

Nano, I saw that article and I thought about you!!!! BUT, I didn't get around to posting about it. There were a few others beside Jacko that were of interest to us here.

So, you only saw the Top 10 or the entire list?????

I got to go through the whole list. In the web it asks for some patience, though. But I know I can do it... :roll:

OK, I did it! There were some surprises like the Rod Stewart rumor: didn't know that one. It's funny: I remember an article very much like this one in Spin a couple of years ago. I'd say just about half of the items (there were 50 too) were the same. So there's a can full of stories out there...
If anyone remembers some story involving a disco diva/producer, some coke, cops, guns, strange fetishes... You can drop it here and amuse us There weren't many disco artists in those articles, but they're fun to read.
