January 8th, 2009 at 17:13:12 Heard Randy about 15 years ago do this one (and all the good ones) live in a little place in Atlanta. Pure magic. If you don't tear up on this one, you have no soul.
January 8th, 2009 at 17:36:11 Yeah, the way the poor were ignored during Katrina and how they blew up the dam to save the rich peoples homes in 1927. Funny how history repeats itself, isn't it?

January 8th, 2009 at 18:22:09 yeah i always prefer style over skill any day.
January 8th, 2009 at 18:45:08 I agree, I've just recently "discovered" him (I'm 23 years old) and all I knew of him before was from comedic parodies (Family Guy, Mad TV etc...) which made me laugh, but his music, and most importantly, I think, is his songwriting. I agree that the simplicity makes it remarkably accessible while never feeling mediocre. He's really growing on me.
January 8th, 2009 at 19:08:07 He is a great man.
January 8th, 2009 at 19:31:06 wat a nice song... i dedicate this to those who have suffered hurricane katrina...
January 8th, 2009 at 19:54:05 hey does anyone no the lyrics
January 8th, 2009 at 20:17:04 He's brilliant. Soulful.
January 8th, 2009 at 20:40:03 I LOVE you Janice Margaret; I LOVE you
January 8th, 2009 at 21:03:02 i agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 8th, 2009 at 21:26:01 Beautifully said.
January 8th, 2009 at 21:49:00 As a songwriter and pianist I've always thought Randy Newman was one of the greatest treasures that America will never truly know. Newman has penned some of the most hauntingly beautiful songs this country has ever had. Though not a great vocalist the beauty and simplicity of his playing and songwriting has inspired many other to cover many of his songs. His music is featured on many movies and TV shows as well. In my humble opinion, Newman is one of the best American songwriters there is.
January 8th, 2009 at 22:11:59 That's really probably the most beautiful song...
January 8th, 2009 at 22:34:58 Randy Newman is a unique musical genius! He should be honored as a National Treasure! Thanks so much for this video!
January 8th, 2009 at 22:57:57 like they say history repeats itself and there still not great at construction because there so damn cheap in trying to save the people...maybe things might change one day when we think about the people again and not just what gives u the most money...like they say money is the root of all evil and thats y this country is in the situation we are right now. I guess all u can do is pray and hope for the best
January 8th, 2009 at 23:20:56 his voice sounds badass still

January 9th, 2009 at 02:01:49 Very good.I never heard this before.
January 9th, 2009 at 02:24:48 A levee is failing in Plaquemines Parish as I type this. I thought of this song immediately. The river has busted through clear down to Plaquemines, Six feet of water in the streets of Evangline.
