Is there any artist under 30 who can make are that doesn't have to rely on pop culture references? Going to the Whitney biennial is like watching Family Guy.

THANK YOU! And the answer is yes...one of my friends is big into heavily technical (oil) painting. Wish I had some photos/scans to show :-(

Writing for Rolling Stone would've meant validation at age 22. The best man won, but the taste of defeat is still so bittersweet.
by Andrew Miller
Issue date: 4/5/07

One of my biggest, boldest, most perverse dreams - writing for Rolling Stone - seemed so within reach until Tuesday. After three months of waiting, I found out I'd lost to a foe (and Facebook friend) in the "I'm From Rolling Stone" contest, which ran in conjunction with MTV's reality series of the same name.

This all started the night before Spring semester commenced. I'd just returned from Puerto Vallarta, aching to re-establish a sense of normality after a week of tequila, seasickness and strange food. Lying in bed around 11 p.m., making my regular Internet rounds, I spotted a writing contest on rollingstone.com. The assignment was easy enough: Write 10 questions for an artist of your choosing in 300 words or less.

John Mayer was the first artist to come to mind, and shamefully, the artist I knew the most about without need for research. So 10 minutes and 10 questions later, I submitted my entry. I didn't think anything of it. Having almost forgotten about the contest entirely, I checked back that Saturday to find I was a weekly finalist. The following Wednesday, I found out I'd won the week's competition. My reward? A cheap electric guitar, a cheap mp3 player, but the priceless experience of my name plastered on rollingstone.com's home page in big, bold type. You couldn't miss it if you tried.

From there, things got crazy. The following day, John Mayer took the questions and posted his answers on his blog. (The same blog I've been reading now since - God, this is lame - my senior year of high school.) US Weekly took interest and posted a story about it on their Web site. So did People Magazine. The next day, I was a front-page story in the Mankato Free Press. It was an awkward position as the writer being the news. (I guess you can't really know how strange it feels unless you're someone who actually writes news. Complete role-reversal.)

My head left spinning, this was only the beginning of a grueling wait to see if I would be chosen among 10 weekly winners for a three-month writing gig with Rolling Stone. (Not to mention, the recipient of a new Apple MacBook, but that's minor in comparison.)

About a week later, when things started to calm down, I did an arbitrary Facebook search - you've done it, too! - to find the winner from week one. (I'd won week two.) I found him: Mordechai Shinefield, 22, newly married, a student at Yeshiva in New York City. We traded friendly messages over Facebooks, shared our disbelief, wished each other luck, lamented our inability to play guitar and expressed intolerance for all non-iPod mp3 players.

The night before the verdict, I knew it was between Mordechai and myself. Interest in the contest dropped off dramatically after the first few weeks and entrants became down right pathetic. Even as I waited all of seven hours Tuesday for an announcement - leaving me with a migraine - I began to suspect Mordechai was the lucky winner. After a few shots and beers at South Street, I conceded to the fact he deserved it. Sure, I meant all the pleasantries I had sent him leading up to the verdict, but dammit, writing for Rolling Stone is my dream, too.

So here's the thing: I had the chance to achieve a dream by way of a contest and I lost. It happens. But in a way, I'm relieved, because the dream remains and I'd rather earn it on my own merits and not by some promotional contest. To entertain a hope, have a dream be so damn close to reality, is one of the most pleasurable things in life. No matter how delusional it seems, I was able to experience this for three months straight. So how can I be mad I didn't win a chance to write for Rolling Stone?

Well, it is Rolling Stone.

Mordechai Sheffield is 22? I assumed he was, y'know, 47.

Dom Passantino, Thursday, 6 December 2007 09:40 (eighteen years ago)

all of those guys who write like 'that' seem to be either college age music bloggers who strawman out their peers to seem more wise, or middle-aged ex-village voice freelancers.

Radio Disney's dominance is skewing the "teenpop" center ever younger, which may leave a probing and restless brainiac like Ashlee out in the cold, faced with the choice of dumbing herself down for the adults or dumbing herself down for the kids, or simply fading out - though Aly & A.J. continue to probe restlessly and lucratively within the Disney confines.

I would say "buy a fucking thesaurus" but some people do not need their creepcabulary expanded.
