---- ''Rolling Stone'' is a music and music industry magazine. ''Rolling Stone'' was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by Jann Wenner and music critic Ralph J. Gleason (Wenner is still editor and publisher). Beginning in the late 1960s and continuing through the 1970s, the magazine embraced and reported on the hippy counterculture. ''Rolling Stone'''s rise to fame was synchronous with that of such bands as the Grateful Dead. It was so popular during this era that a song dedicated to it, "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, became a hit single. By the 1980s, despite still nominally employing icons such as Hunter S. Thompson and the infamous rock-journalist badboy Lester Bangs, ''Rolling Stone'' had become institutionalized and adopted mainstream ideas that it had shunned earlier (e.g., employee drug testing). The magazine moved to New York City to be closer to the advertising industry, and many date its change in culture from this point. In the early 2000s, facing declining revenue due to the rapid rise of young men's magazines such as ''Maxim (magazine)'' and ''FHM'', ''Rolling Stone'' reinvented itself, targeting a lower age group and offering more sex-oriented content. In 2002, they published their list of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2004, ''Rolling Stone'' put out a List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. That same year, the magazine stated that it would continue to put out special issues occasionally. ==International editions== *Australia: ''Rolling Stone'' Australia is published by Next Media Pty Limited, Sydney. ==Further reading== *''Rolling Stone'' Magazine: The Uncensored History - Robert Draper ==External link== * [http://www.rollingstone.com/ Rolling Stone website] Music magazines
Who owns Rolling Stone? Is it now just a corporate entity owned by Time Magazine? It would explain the disinfected content. No, Rolling Stone is still owned by "Wenner Media", the company set up by the magazine's founder. I don't know if its publicly listed, or who owns shares. Where did Rolling Stone get its name? does it have any relation at all to the band, the rolling stones?? Yes, and no, the name comes from a Muddy Waters song so generally it's said that the band and magazine names both come directly from the song. == Opinion == Whoever wrote the brief piece on Rolling Stone Magazine, culd you kindly refrain from editorializing and keep to just plain facts? Who are you, brainiac, to determine that the magazine is in "decline." Just because they don't conform to your political agenda? OK, ok, they sold out to commercialism. Too bad. Just the facts. Rick Gagliano dtmagazine.com By that same token, describing their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list as "presumptiously titled" is editorializing too. (It also misspells "presumptuously.") So I took it out. msclguru Rolling Stone is not much of a true "rock n roll" magazine anymore. They devote more cover stories to teen idols like Lindsay Lohan or the Olsen Twins than to actual music.
