Fans complained when The Rolling Stones signed up with Microsoft in 1995 to have its Start Me Up song be the theme music behind the Windows 95 launch. Now The Stones glam it up and cash in on another high-profile tech launch — this time with Google and its Google Music, unveiled today.
The Rolling Stones plan will stream several live concerts over Google Music through year’s end. How will fans react now?
