Rolling Stone is a music and music industry magazine that was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by Jann S. Wenner and music critic Ralph J. Gleason (Wenner is still editor and publisher). It embraced and reported on the hippy counterculture during the late 1960s and 1970s, and its rise to fame was synchronous with that of such bands as the Grateful Dead.

By the 1980s, despite still nominally employing such people as Hunter S. Thompson and the infamous rock-journalist badboy, Lester Bangs, Rolling Stone had become institutionalized and adopted ideas (i.e. employee drug testing) shunned by the early Rolling Stone magazine. The magazine moved to New York to be closer to the advertising industry, and many date its change in culture from this point on.

In the early 2000s, losing advertiser money and thus revenue due to the rapid rise of quasi-porn magazines such as Maxim and FHM, Rolling Stone reinvented itself, targeting a lower age group, and offering more sex-oriented content. However, the magazine remains the standard by which rock & roll magazines are measured.

In addition to offering celebrity interviews, stalwart features such as CD reviews and Random Notes (the mag's long-running gossip section) it provides familiar reading for older readers, as does the publication's superior political and cultural coverage.

In general, a fanlisting is just a place for fans of a certain thing, such as a TV show, a band or in this case, a person, to come together to share their love. For more fanlistings, please visit TheFanlistings.org.

I adopted this fanlisting for Rolling Stone because I love it. I totally rely on it for all of my entertainment news and inteviews and new music to watch for. :D

The name Rockstar was chosen because I thought it was fitting for the magazine. As for the layout, I used random covers of RS that I found on the official site. Links to the brushes used can be found here.
