  1. Good ORAL here, Katie.

    ROLLING STONE is such a vital cultural force, since 1967.

    For better or for worse.

    Give us MORE visual materials - more photo embeds and VIDEO, yes?

    And give us a spicy title, along with ORAL PRESENTATION, in your subject line.

    Plus, make your power tools "pop" here.

    Go for it,

    Dr. W
