Randy Newman, professional troublemaker
New online song is his most searing sarcasm yet
Randy Newman. Oscar-winning composer. Grammy-winning artist. But most of all, professional troublemaker.Newman's biting sarcasm dates back to his earlier days with the song "Political Science." More recently he composed the pointed "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country."
Now he's at it again with a new song, "I'm Dreaming" ... of a white president.
He has released "I'm Dreaming" as both a video and a free download via his website. Share with your friends at your own risk. It's getting ugly out there.
Edit: I thought putting the word "sarcasm" in the headline would be a tip-off, but those of you calling Newman a "racist" are missing the point. He is making fun of racists, as a number of other comments have pointed out. You can disagree with his point of view, but he is not advocating racism. Exactly the opposite.
Hi everyone,
I just felt compelled to respond to this singers song and I must say I smiled during the whole performance. What I appreciate about this singer is that he was not afraid to speak his true feelings as well as indicating his reasons for his thought process. He was merely exercising his rights as a citizen. I hate two-faced back stabbing liars...The truth is the light! Can you not respect the fact that he told the truth as he sees it? As a taxpayer, a hard worker, as a human being. I can appreciate one who speaks his mind openly. I detest liars and phonies. Because I feel this way, I have to admit......I also want a different President not because of the color of his skin but his poor leadership... so I am voting for Romney. ....Obama has failed to solve our problems...He has made it much worse. If we give him four more years...The USA won't survive! He has developed a welfare state of being. I was taught to work hard and succeed. Obama wants to cripple everyone and make everyone have to come to him for food, shelter, clothing healthcare...it makes him feel important when people need him. That makes him very selfi**** like having dependent children and never allowing them to grow up and take care of themselves because it boosts his ego. I would love to see him pack his bags and go back to.... anywhere...JUST GO!
I can't wait for Nov 7th. When Obama gets reelected by the majority, these rats **** bigoted white conservative freaks are going to go berserk like the Taliban they are. I personally hope Obama then shoves his big black.................
"agenda" up their quivering a'''''les. Let's see what songs they sing then.
