    If you mean the song Like a Rolling Stone, that was written by Bob Dylan, who is white. Otherwise, I’m not sure what song you’re thinking of, but I am pretty sure that’s the song the magazine was named after.

        Ok, fair enough. I didn’t think it would be named after a song that someone who predated rock by decades wrote.

          Rock has its roots and foundation in Delta Blues. Which would be the environment that helped influence and shape later known Chicago bluesmen such as Muddy Waters. Without the contributions of the black artists from the Mississippi Delta you would not have any of the music we currently enjoy today.
