Behr Paint Sued Over Use of Rolling Stones’ ‘Paint It Black’

ABKCO Records, which owns the rights to the Rolling Stones' early material, has sued Behr Paint over its use of the group’s song 'Paint It, Black.'

Given that I think that choosing the Eastmans over Allen Klein would have been a wiser business choice for the #Beatles as a replacement for Brian Epstein, here is my fresh me conspiracy theory for you to tear to shreds.

Klein was chosen *because* certain members would have rather cashed out and gone their own ways, at the cost of being ripped off a bit.

Same goes for the Stones wanting to escape the baggage of Brian Jones death.
