Was Rolling Stone Magazine named after The Rolling Stones?

Why I never read the thing.

Why that name???

No Beatles - no Stones.

They both took their name from the Muddy Waters song.

Just listened to - not a bad tune - doesn't cause me to hit replay like "I'm Looking Through You" by the Fab 4.

The Beatles Apple was embroiled in a lawsuit with Steve Jobs Apple for decades over the copyright of the name.

Finaly got settled.
