"Short People" But No "Rednecks"

Caught Randy Newman on Austin City Limits and thanks to the wonders of the internet you can too click here.   He covers many of his well known tunes but when he asks the audience if there is anything they want to hear (36:00 mark) someone requests Rednecks.  Randy replies “I don’t think I can do Rednecks.”   At the end of the Austin show (52:20 mark) he discusses doing controversial songs.  Guess my bottom line is I don’t care what he does or doesn’t play, as long as he performs my favorite tune of his “Leave Your Hat On.”   Hope the day doesn’t arrive when he can’t do that one!
