Randy Newman’s performance after Steve Jobs’ keynote at Macworld 2008.
This is just awesome. How many major corporations would invite somebody to perform during their biggest public event of the year and do a half-song half-rant that is just one big scathing indictment of the current administration? I love it.

A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.

I remember family guy making fun of him. I had never heard his stuff, but I heard it on NPR and oh my gawd they fucking nailed it.

Hehe yeah, they really did get it right. He has a lot of good political songs, especially back in the day, but he also has a lot of lame goofy stuff that he’s more well known for. Particularly a lot of Pixar movie theme songs.

I love Randy Newman, and I don’t care who knows. He’s brilliant.
