Rock Legend Hammers Rolling Stone Cover
‘We have met the enemy and he is us’
WND
Rolling Stone magazine is helping turn Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev into a cult figure by featuring him on its current cover in a glam, rock-star pose reminiscent of The Door’s Jim Morrison, says legendary entertainer Pat Boone.
Boone – who himself was featured on a Rolling Stone cover in 1976 – told WND that when he saw the magazine’s August cover he immediately thought of the famous declaration from the classic comic strip character Pogo: “We have met the enemy and he is us.”
“The media is asking why young people are so mixed up and muddled, and even anti-American in their thinking – and it’s the media itself,” Boone said in an interview with WND.
Already, amid a flood of outrage on social media by subscribers and non-subscribers alike, including on Rolling Stone’s Facebook page, three major drug store chains have announced they will not sell the August issue.
Boone, whose squeaky clean persona helped mainstream rock and roll in the 1950s and early 1960s, sees an “anti-establishment tenor” in media that “glamorize rebels and iconoclasts and those who ‘rage against the machine,’” such as the infamous Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. The university professor drew sympathetic followers for his left-wing social commentary despite a 17-year nationwide bombing campaign that killed three people and injured 23 others.
Tsarnaev, who is accused of killing three and injuring hundreds more in the April 15 Boston bombings, already has a cult-like following on social media, including the “Free Jahar” movement comprised of young women who are protesting his prosecution.
On Rolling Stone’s August cover, Tsarnaev, with his curly locks and pouty look in soft focus, could be mistaken for a budding teen idol.
