How Randy Newman writes songs

Randy Newman, one of my favorite songwriters, is this subject of this video. We explore how Randy's uses the "mask" of his characters in his songs, his approach to writing music, and what his song's say about himself as we explore Randy's songwriting. The information from this video comes from Randy Newman's American Dreams by Kevin Courrier, Maybe I'm Doing It Wrong by David & Caroline Stafford, and Greil Marcus' essay on Randy from his book Mystery Train.
