:+:_DL Feb 28, 2013 - 11:01	Absolutely the worst. I hear people talk about Randy Newman like he's a great songwriter !?!?! Where's the proof? [ Reply ]
Grayson Dec 12, 2012 - 11:36	Great artist who's early work I never heard much of. So thus I'm glad to hear some on RP. Thanks! [ Reply ]

(About my very bad english) Sorry, FP, but Newman isn't a self-made man. he comes from a wealthy, connected and very talented Hollywood family. His father made it big composing sound tracks for movies, and act RN has gotten into lately, since he no longer writes witty and satirical lyrics as he did in his prime (e.g., "Sail Away"). He WAS a genuine talent, but now he's another rich Hollywood hack. Sorry to burst your bubble. BTW, your English grammar is far better than my German. [ Reply ]

k-man May 21, 2012 - 10:24	I'm not a huge RN fan, like my friend Isom, but this song of his does do it for me... Long Live Travis T. Hipp ..... [ Reply ]

Believe me, at the time this song was written, Baltimore really was on the skids. Now things are better, but the thing that kills you about Baltimore is how much potential it has to be one of the great American Cities: A unique "Inner Harbor", great hospitals and medical care, great history, but so much entrenched poverty, crime, filth, that you know it never will happen. Our racial history brought this and other American cities to where they are now, and it seems just too hard to undo. As for the song - it's just great. Haunting piano intro building to soaring chorus. I give it a strong 8. What you said! [ Reply ]

And then to top if all off, a few songs later, Life's What You Make It by Talk Talk and right into the Killers. I stand in awe (well, I'm actually sitting on the couch, but you know what I mean). Oh and then as I am writing this - Tom Waits, Jockey Full of Bourbon - get out of my mind Bill !! [ Reply ]
jonybamf Mar 03, 2012 - 10:11	Some great, insightful comments on this song... I just wanted to say I'm not a Randy Newman fan so much. Not really at all... but I really love this song. It's so... sad. In a beautiful way. [ Reply ]
