When I continued to object to Heineken’s usage of my trade name, they informed me that their intention regarding the release of “Red Star” records was to benefit urban musicians, and therefore, I should respect their noble gesture and go along with the program.
I proposed they use the name “Heineken's Red Sounds” instead, and only release one or two urban CDs per year with the proper acknowledgment on all CD packages that their Heineken Red Star entity was a nonprofit organization.
