    "Dont let the critic overwhelm the creative person in you..." this is great advice Randy. Thank you for writing and sharing your songs. You have reached people, and that's what matters.

    This is an incredibly excellent interview with a man who remained a conscience of American music through decades. Randy Newman is just ... your friend, who speaks to you.

    Your voice is incredible Randy, and your sincerity in song comes across in ways that words often cannot express... "you got a friend in me!"

    I’m only starting to get into him now at age 53. The “Nilsson singer Newman” album was my gateway to Randy. I’m going to to through all his albums starting with his first. He is an incredible songwriter - he knows he’s good.

    I’ve admired his work for almost fifty years! He writes songs about real Folks, not folksongs❗️ A great observer of human character. A short story in stanza form. Real impact in a few revealing lines.

    I don't know Randy. But he strikes me as someone who lives in the moment. But likes to write it down to be able to think about it. Telling someone about the creative music discovery is beyond me.
    But he does an outstanding job at getting music done.
    Children show up at his concerts now!
    Bravo. And thanks for all the memories!
    I hope he doesn't mind so many love him for what he brought to "Toy Story". He brought heart and soul to that movie. Beyond the script and animation.

    He wrote the greatest album of the 70s--Good Old Boys. Maybe he doesn't think he writes good lyrics, but they are brilliant. Talk about that, dude.

    So he stopped writing love songs early on did he? Well how did 'Marie' creep in under the radar? I love his political stuff - his tongue in cheek stuff his blatantly sarcastic stuff but his heartfelt love songs just cut me up!
