Political scientist

Well, after twenty years of waiting, I finally got to see Randy Newman last night at Berklee. I'm going to save the gushing (OK, just one gush? Man. It was good), and get to something you might actually be interested to reading about/seeing.

A few nights ago, Randy was on the Colbert Report, for a short interview. He also played his song "Political Science". The clip is here. It'll take a few minutes to load, but it's worth it. Newman spends a few minutes deflecting Colbert's good-natured jabs and then gets down to business: A fun, two-minute romp through one of my favorite tracks.

Stay tuned for Joan Anderman's review of the show -- should be running in the Globe in the next couple o' days.
