Randy Newman

My uncle Rodger and I are scheduled to go see Randy Newman in Lafayette on April 28. I am really excited about it. Randy Newman really fascinates me. He doesn’t “wow” me, just intrigues me. He is a political satirist who really has a unique sound. He is no cookie-cutter singer/songwriter. He is his own breed. His music still carries even without the band backing him up. He is much older now than these YouTube videos. Hope your palette is whetted:

“Intelligent satire meets willful cruelty.”
