I just got the new Rolling Stone delivered to my kindle and of course, the first thing I did was read the Stephen King Interview. It's a very interesting interview and his answer to the last question makes me very happy.

I'm hoping to buy a copy of the magazine tomorrow at B&N! 
I'm not sure Ms Mod is going to be happy with the interviewer describing where their office is located.
Have search 6 places now. Nothing- last store had only the previous issues, not the one I needed. Search continues.
i got mine at Books a million. No where else had it. B&N aren't expecting theirs until next week.
Thanks for the heads up-maybe I should call ahead so I don't waste a trip!
I've got someone in the UK on the look out for it. Crossing my fingers.
...just got mine for 8 bucks on Ebay...
Not sure about others- but call ahead folks and make sure they know it is the cover of U2-- stores my way are extremely dense about dates and issue #'s. I broke down and loaded it to the kindle last night. Excellent article!! I am still searching and will continue until I have hard copies in hand. Sending off one international too.
Rolling Stone is a bi-monthly publication, so it will be out for a couple of weeks when it hits the street. I imagine that by Tuesday, it will be in the stores that carry it. Tuesday seems to be the new release day for most stores.
Is bi monthly the correct word?
It comes out twice a month. I looked up the definition and it was twice a month or once every two months. That's a wishy washy definition. Someone teach me something.
Does 'bimonthly' mean 'twice a month' or 'every two months'?Is bi monthly the correct word?

Unfortunately it means both! In the publishing industry, though, it's used fairly consistently to mean 'every two months', so that a bimonthly magazine is generally one that's issued every two months. The same ambiguity affects biweekly and biyearly. If you want to be absolutely clear, it's best to use a phrase such as 'twice a week' or 'every two years'.
the English Language wins another prize!

I am wrong, the magazine is bi-weekly. It comes out once every two weeks BUT I have a question about both of these words, bi-weekly and bi-monthly. When I looked up the definition of bi-weekly, it has the same weird definition that it's an event that occurs either twice a week or once every two weeks. It seems weird that each of these words have two meanings for such different amounts of time. Seems like there should be a word for each period of time.
That is strange. I've never thought about that before,
Spidey,
You know what is funny is that I have always used bi-weekly as once every two weeks and bi-monthly as twice a month without ever realizing I was using each of these words differently (or sort of opposite of each other).
You are not alone in those thoughts. Mayhap the way grammar use was taught to us. I never questioned until an international friend asked me to explain the use.
KFF bought hers at a Books-A-Million but said noone else had it out yet.
I got mine on Friday. Yes Friday was the date to hit news stands.
