Ah, Lord Almighty, just forget it.

Enlightening.

That's absolutely fantastic. I should have thought of that a long time ago.

Yep, I try real hard to be a modest fellow.

Ha well, it would be an achievement... I suppose... And it's not that I need to know what Jeff Tweedy thinks about my music... I just kinda want him to listen to it. And as for automatic copyright, it wouldn't quite be an open-shut case for me to prove ownership. I have not registered the song with the U.S. Copyright Office. I self recorded and produced it (I promise it wasn't on a dictaphone though), so there would be no record of recording it in a studio, no engineer-witness. I guess I could call witnesses from our shows... and I suppose it could be proved that it is our voices on the rec

Haha, true, true. Good advice. And to be clear - what I mean by STOLEN is, someone else taking the song and claiming it as something they wrote, NOT people downloading it and burning it on CD's for their friends and putting it on their Ipods and listening to it on the way to work. I would kiss people's feet for doing that. I (really me plus a collaborator, so I'm going to start saying "us") don't have a name yet, no other work to back up our claim to ownership, so... We're cautious until we get things copyrighted. I meant to emphasize that I am not... a crazed fan who wants to send their

I'm actually not quite sure whether or not to take that last post ("Why don't you just call him...") seriously, based on the thread thus far... I don't really want to post my song for anyone to stream or download, because this isn't just some two-bit crap recorded on a a dictaphone, it isn't copyrighted, and it could be stolen. I appreciate the suggestion though, and I'm sure there are plenty of people on here who could give me good production tips. This is just one of those things though. I thought, "Hey, I want Jeff Tweedy to hear this..." and decided to try and follow through with it. I

I want Jeff Tweedy to listen to this song of mine. He's been in the game for forever and two-thirds, and my stuff could probably use some work (though it is pretty spectacular). So partially I want him to spend 2 minutes and 15 seconds listening because I want his advice as I'm sure he has a very acute feel for what should go where. I also just want him to listen to it. Can any of you point me in the right direction for contacting him?
