SPIN is a new production by the son of Bob Guccione (promulgator of
"Penthouse" and Omni"). Rumour has it that the junior Guccione was
not considered bright enough to do anything better. The first issue
features an interview with Madonna (who is on the cover), a 1983
interview with U2 that they are trying to pass of as recent, and a fun 
piece about the 10 best drive-in movies of all time by Joe Bob Briggs.
