Default Why Does Google Cache my title different then other SE's?

Do a search for Michael Lewis on google, and you will find the number 2 spot has the title "Lewis, Michael", when infact the title is "Michael Lewis : Singer-Songwriter, Guitarist and Producer". Which is what it used to say on Google until recently.

Now do a search on Yahoo for Michael Lewis and you will see that it correctly shows the title.
Same thing on MSN, even Ask.com.
So why is google showing a different Title then all the other search engines? The title for that site has never been "Lewis, Michael".
What can I do to fix it?

Thanks!!

Google sometimes uses the title from DMOZ. Are you in DMOZ?

Yes, you are correct. It is our DMOZ title.

However, we have been on both DMOZ and Google for years, and this is the first time I've seen it displayed like this.

Though I wonder... It should be changed in DMOZ.
I saw our fuchs amps section on there as well, and DMOZ had another incorrect title for us. Though it must be because it's human edited.

Take a look

Sure you can request a change in DMOZ, but it wont happen.
