Rumors of Paul McCartney signing to Starbucks and Concord Music's joint venture Hear Music made me wonder if the Stones are considering a switch in a similar direction...either to Hear Music or to Steve Bing's Shangri-La Entertainment. As both non-traditional labels have guaranteed broad retail distribution, have many millions of dollars behind them, and have a recent working history with the band, I'll not be surprised if something of the sort isn't announced. Besides if the McCartney stories are true, it will be another example of Stones following the Beatles for the media to harp on.
