I'd Known The People At Rolling Stone

P. J. O'Rourke

I'd known the people at rolling stone for a while. i'd gone to them with a piece i'd done on beirut for vanity fair that vanity fair didn't want to publish, because they said i was making fun of death... this was tina brown.but they paid me for it. so i've got this big chunk of a piece, and rolling stone liked it, but they thought it was a little dated. but then they called me back and asked me to do a similar piece about the turks and caicos islands, where the whole government had been arrested for dope smuggling. that was fun.
