I'm pretty sure he's a capitalist. He's clearly much more educated and intelligent than you,boy. You're sooooo fucking dumb. Keep buying Britney Spears albums, bottom feeding shitstain. HAHA, you don't understand that HE'S MAKING FUN OF YOU!!!

HAHA! Man stop eating magic mushrooms, you're getting progressively retarded.

Bless his heart, the man tells the truth better than any five people I know. I love him deeply in a manly way. Hope you live forever Randy Newman.

Yes, he is so uneducated as appose to the great minds that comment on this board. People who have such a great mental lexicon that they decide to bypass the use of any word that may make their argument sound valid in favor of terms like "fuckface." I say bravo to you and your elitist mentality.

This man is up in the ranks of George Gershwin and Irving Berlin.If you study his lyrics and actually see how well-written the music is, you would see why he's compared to the greatest song-writers.I'm not going to say the usual "you write better" because that's not the real argument. The fact is musically Randy is a brilliant Songwriter.

I think you're oversimplifying his view somewhat, and if you remember the article, he clearly says that he is well aware of the fact that noone was looking for him to say something political. He just felt like saying it. As he also says in the interview, his opinions are the result of living in a free country: He can voice them.You'll find he's very educated, though his poetry is deliberately simple to emphasize his sarcasm. Some of it is simple enough that you glaze over the meaning.

Ya man that song is about racism and discrimination. How it's just as stupid as not liking shorter people.

Just read an article on this douche in Rolling Stone and aside from being a one-trick pony when it comes to music (and not even a good trick I must say), he's a fucking Marxist idiot that thinks we should give the very Gov't he's bashing in this video/song more money by raising taxes. You're an ass and a confused hypocrite RANDY! How bout we privitize schools, you fuckface!? I hate people like him that are so uneducated and yet sooooo outspoken. Musicians should just stay away from politics.
