Subject: RE: Randy Newman BBC4 tonight Friday
Makes me laugh that a man who wrote a song called 'Rednecks', with a chorus about 'keeping the n****rs down', only suffered picketing of his concerts after he wrote a song called 'Short People'!
Seems that in his case being 'size-ist' is worse than being 'racist'.
Funny old world.

I love the man, and his music.
