There Are Days When I Feel Like Randy

Pretty much been a fan of Mr. Newman for a long time, ever since I saw the Shepard play SEDUCED that feature his songs. I think I went out and bought "Sail Away" right then and there the very next day. Still play the extremely brief album straight through every once in a while. Back before "Short People" "I Love L.A." and all that goofy soundtrack business. Back when a guy at a piano singing his bloody heart out still meant something. If you get a chance today it might be good time, given today's news, to take a pull on the quirky, black comedic track "POLITICAL SCIENCE", y'know what I'm sayin'? Onward.
