    Jan Wenner has sold a 49% stake of Rolling Stone to Bandlab Technlogies. Bloomberg reports:


    After a five-decade run full of interviews with pop stars and presidents, the founder of Rolling Stone is selling 49 percent of the iconic magazine to an Asian billionaire’s son. It’s the first time Wenner has admitted an outside investor, a deal that encapsulates the plight of an industry fighting to stay relevant in an online age. Wenner Media LLC also owns Us Weekly and Men’s Journal.

    I've gotten Rolling Stone pretty much every month for the past 5 years or so. I'm not sure how...I never myself signed up or paid for a subscription. But I feel it has something to do with shopping at Best Buy. Anytime I've ever stopped receiving it, I start getting it again after visiting Best Buy. But I usually flip through it once and throw it away. I don't feel like there's been anything relevant to me as a music fan in Rolling Stone recently.
