By and large the magazine is a lightweight in journalism, a carmelized, BBQ'd version of The New Yorker Magazine. The basic formula is to go in and skewer, lambast and satarize anybody unfortunate enough to get on their radar screen. Then surround that with platitudinal articles on quaint subjects like the Shiner Brewery or some limestone creek in the Hill Country with an endangered populaton of swish tailed minnows, just like the ones working at Texas Monthly. And God forbid when those tea sippers come down on The Aggies. The infamous Texas journalist Molly Ivins once wrote the Houston Post was a piece of dog poop rolled up in newsprint delivered on your doorstep every day. The Post folded during the same era of Texas journalism that Texas Monthly began publication. Go figure.

Most people only get as far as the pictures. Some don't get past the cover. There are fewer readers than buyers. This time, they were smoking too much dope at the editor's desk. Willie will love this cover. He probably has a copy in his bus now, waiting to "roll" again.
