Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone is an American magazine devoted to music, politics and popular culture, published biweekly. It also publishes a web site. It was founded in 1967 and in its first years was identified with the hippie counterculture and yet it also distanced itself from the many more overtly political underground newspapers of the time. Its writers engaged in a more traditional journalistic practice than those in the underground journalistic scene. Yet by being "not just about the music, but about the things and attitudes that music embraces," Rolling Stone found its niche and has had a huge impact on American popular culture at large.
