Randy Newman Kurt Andersen talks to composer Randy Newman about his career
by Kurt Andersen
He's been busy since "Short People." In the last decade, Newman wrote the scores for Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., and Cars. But before those movie gigs, Randy Newman was confounding listeners with his cheerfully bitter piano songs. After a 9-year hiatus, he's put out a new record and mixed in some politics too. Newman talks with Kurt Andersen about his career and plays live for us in the studio.
