• No dabs or dead ELs, but can I suggest that you archive [1] as Rolling Stone removes their material swiftly and it will likely go dead in months to come. Adabow (talk · contribs) 07:57, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry but I have to fail this article, as I cannot see it meeting the criteria within a week. The main issue is the lack of prose quality. I have listed a few specific prose issues below but there are several more. Read through the article and correct for grammar, flow etc several times. The non-free media also need attention.
