I asked my friend Parke Pauterbaugh who used to be a writer at Rolling Stone if he knew anything about the experiment with Thiel and Bryston. here is our conversation:
PP: No, I never heard. Last time I visited the mag they were all listening to music on earbuds. The place was quiet as a church. Not like when I worked there and music was blaring from many offices.
Me: thanks. sounds like it has become a really boring place. who would listen to rock and roll on earbuds? what a waste of good music
PP: It was a boring place. I was dismayed at what a character-less place it had become.
