I subscribe because it's great value for my dollar. There's fine music conversation, with a couple of old-fart resident curmudgeons, some very nice people with helpful suggestions, a couple of opinionated young folks who remind me of my own kids, serious musicians who share their expertise, and a shitload of song lyrics. You won't get that with a magazine subscription. Plus, I get to see my name in print.
All the best. Seamus
