Randy Newman
Studio 360 | Mar 24, 2011
If you’ve seen a Pixar movie in the last decade or so, chances are about even you heard Randy Newman singing. Newman composed the scores for Monsters, Inc, A Bug’s Life, Meet the Parents – and he recently won an Oscar for his song written for Toy Story 3. But another generation knew him as a cheerfully dark, satirical, folky singer-songwriter. Back in 2008, he put out an album called Harps and Angels. Kurt Andersen spoke with Newman, one of his idols. (Originally aired: August 15, 2008)
Bonus Track: "Potholes"
Randy Newman performs the “entirely autobiographical” song live in Studio 360.
