Randy Newman

Oscar Award: Randy Newman offers profession opinion   Randy Newman has been in the music business for a long time, more than 40 years. (Baltimore in 1977 may remember his song, "Baltimore", an ode is not exactly self-enchantment of the city that failed him out of town on a train when he played the title song of this winter.) It was nominated for 20 Oscars , won two - this evening, including "We Belong Together" and "Toy Story 3."

It seemed natural that when a reporter asked Newman College backstage at the Oscars, if I had any advice for budding songwriters looking to get into the market. But it is unlikely that took a lot of amenities for your response.

"Who would want to hack into it?" He asked, laughing. "It 's like a bank, which has already been robbed."

(For the record, that was not entirely serious, assuming the same would encourage anyone to follow his dream. But he was not entirely in jest, either.)
