Randy Newman in Defense of our Country

Thursday, February 01, 2007 By Mayer Danzig

When he’s not composing movie soundtracks and collecting Oscar nominations, Randy Newman writes pop songs filled with biting social and political commentary. So it should come as no surprise to see Newman offer his perspectives on today’s highly charged global political environment.

“A Few Words In Defense of Our Country”, by Randy Newman

A president once said,
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”
Now it seems like we’re supposed to be afraid
It’s patriotic in fact and color coded


About the author:  Mild-mannered corporate executive by day, excitable Twangville denizen by night.
