Comments: The out-of-town investor who Thom sold a controlling interest in the magazine to bankrupted Take One by going weekly without an accompanying growth in advertising income to offset the cost of publishing four issues a month instead of one. Thom and Take One editor Richard Harbert published this one-shot, “The True Story of Take One Magazine,” providing transparency to the demise of Nashville’s first alternative publication. King and Harbert would subsequently launch The Nashville Gazette with publisher John Lomax III (see below).
