Cavett is great; how Jim Brown handled himself, impressive.... Thanks Malcolm for enlightening us to this music and song writer

Malcolm - As you recounted a fan in Santa Monica telling you - "I love what you do, Bro!"... I wholeheartedly agree. You bring insights into the smallest details that always give me delight. Thanks for what you do.

Many years ago, the debate raged on about whether or not the University of Western Ontario should let Anne Coulter speak on campus despite angry protests to the contrary. Our library science class took on this topic framed as thus: censorship versus freedom of speech in the context of the role of the library in the community. There were strong opinions on both sides and I'm not even sure if the question was fully resolved. I do remember my take being to let her speak because otherwise evil thrives in the shadows. Give them an audience. Shine the light. Let people see what we are up against. This is why Dick Cavett invited Lester Maddox onto his show.

That so many are unaware of the brilliance and lusciously copious catalogue of Newman is lamentably consistent with our atavistic cultural regression. This is a spot on exposè and celebration. So many “went in dumb, come out dumb too”. Alas.

Thank you! "You can't not play it, just because it makes you uncomfortable." Because that is the impetus for change.

In the '70s, I loved the Sail Away album and played it often. One of my closest friends, a black man, got SO angry with me when he heard the title song. I said to him, "This is satire." It was something he usually loved and appreciated. "Why don't you recognize it here?" He couldn't answer. I didn't understand and still don't, but I've seen it many times, over the years. People often become blind to satire when the subject hits too close to home. It's been most noticable to me when friends become parents. Jokes they once got are no longer funny. I often wonder if my friend would have heard that song differently if a black person had written and recorded it.

Maddox was so representative of the Southern culture of the 1950-60s. The Southern Silent Majority was there in the background

When Randy's songs came out, I only had pocket radio. Loved the sound and only got maybe 1/3 the meaning. Feel stupid now

Great stuff. A lot of Randy Newman documentaries tend to gloss over Good Old Boys and Sail Away because they deal with uncomfortable subjects but they're obviously his best work. Strangely enough, Linda Ronstadt's cover of Sail Away leaves in the "little wog" line. Maybe if Linda actually knew what the word meant she would have changed it.

Here in the south, the Lester Maddoxes still rule. They look a little different with 3 toes and breasts, but there they are saying the same thing, "Wanna fight about it?" That's really all they ever say.😢

Why did Dick let Lester get control of the conversation? That was poor preparation by Dick"s staff. Dick,'s hackles were raised by one audience member, how crass.

I loved Jim Brown, who had a rule put into Lacrosse that Lacrosse sticks had to be 40” long. The Twin Cities Lacrosse Club was terrible but good. He ran for the Cleveland Browns and Syracuse University. A mother wrote to the school where her son went to school “I don’t want to complain about my son saying that to him, we don’t talk that way in our family, what I want to know is how a fifth grader hit him so hard that he had to stay home from school for a week.”

I just watched a video about the recent censorship of a scene from "The French Connection" in which Gene Hackman's character, a corrupt cop, uses the ultimate epithet. So are we making Popeye Doyle a role model?
