	Story Behind the Song The fine people of MTV (Viacom) found a copy of my first CD ("Genial Wisdom of the Acid Buddha"), and they were so impressed that they used a small sample to promote an especially tedious episode of "House of Style" (remember that show?) That alone is somewhat flattering, however they never bothered to mention to me that they were using my song. A friend of mine happened to catch my song while channel surfing. "They Played My Song On MTV" recaps my experience with lawyers and contracts and dotted lines, etc. that followed MTV's unauthorized use of my material.
