Just how beautiful was 'Louisiana' sung by Newman on Friday night?

Very beautiful. But no more so than the other tracks with the orchestra (Rollin, Marie, Feels Like Home).

For me the best of the lot was 'Love Story'....

"Some day he may be President.....if things loosen up"

I was struck by just how many lines written 30 or 40 years ago still resonated today, either because things haven't changed or because they have!

E.g. the line you quoted in 'Love Story', most of 'Political Science', and of course 'Louisiana 1927' came back to bite with hurricane Katrina.

The song featured on an album raising funds for the Katrina victims.
