I honestly didn't think that these nuts were seriously going to launch Rolling Stone South Africa! I don't know, for me Rolling Stone is just one of the things synonymous with the US, as is Starbucks, Barney's and my husband. What business do such brands/people have in this country?! Riddle me that
But anyways, despite my utter disbelief, the mag was launched on the 30th on November and gracing the inaugural cover was Mr Rock n Roller himself, Mkhulu Hugh Masekela
Applause must be spared where applause is due and although I feel this picture of Mkhulu is a tad too Capetonian gangster-like (note the "chain") I still heart it! Stellar job, although sadly that's as far as my attention will linger on the publication. But, for those interested here's a bit of a teaser from the 1st issue:
“Pussy is the gateway to the earth. But we disrespect it… What guy hasn’t treated his lady badly by fucking around, huh?” Hugh Masekela’s eyes dart out into space, challenging, daring his audience to agree. Silence. Then a tentative show of hands from his entourage. “Huh-huh-huh!” His baritone chuckle cascades from deep in his diaphragm. The 72-year-old Bra is shooting the breeze, taking five between laying down some choice new jazz joints in his studio. "

Dude must've been rocking bell bottoms when he could still spell pussy! |
