Singer-songwriter Randy Newman. Last week he was nominated for three Academy Awards - for his "Pleasantville" and "A Bug's Life" scores, and for a song from "Babe: A Pig in the City." We will broadcast an extended version of the interview we aired late in December with Newman. At that time Rhino Records released "Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman," a four CD box set that included an entire disc of previously unreleased tracks. Newman's most popular songs include "Short People" and "I Love L-A." He's also written music for the films, "Ragtime," "The Natural," and "Toy Story," among many others.
