"everything I write sounds the same..."

 Glad you recognize this about your music.

Welcome to OUR Hell, Randy.

Hittin' artists like the Stones and Aerosmith and Randy Newman right where they live. Although this album was quite good.

Randy does a great ode for aging rockers banking on talent spent long ago. Too many years of fans screaming about every crappy thing they do onstage, I guess. He's put out a few, too. Wish this was better, but that's not the point, is it?

There are many people walking around who died years ago, but no one told them. I suspect most of them don't have the sort of self-awareness that Newman possesses, however.

I gave this a 2, but it's still all good being Halloween and all. It's either this or I break out Current 93's "Ach Golgotha (Maldoror is Dead)" That would pretty much guarantee no trick or treaters.

While I appreciate the Subtle Irony of playing this right after Michael Jackson's "Thriller", unfortunately this also means that I missed this Randy Newman tune, since I hastily evacuated to the LRC.

This is bad. "He's dead, he's dead, he's dead..." cheesy.

For a few bars there I thought the rhythm guitar was sampled from You Really Got Me. Cool tune. Looks like we're switching into Halloween High-Gear! Muwahhhhh Hahahaha . . .
