Even if the lyrical content on this album has a bit more edge than the New Yorker typically would, I still maintain that Randy Newman’s music/satire is the audio equivalent of a New Yorker Cartoon - the spirit is still mostly the same. So, in honor of the occasion of having to listen to another one of his albums, I’ve come up with my own little New Yorker cartoon: ________________ Image: Two dogs on a New York City street. One is sniffing the other’s rear. The dog that is doing the sniffing says to the other… Caption: “You know, ever since Mayor Adams instituted the garbage can law, the city sure does smell a lot better.” ________________
