I bet Prince hates this song..... “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Of course. Sadly a lot of people actually took this song seriously and still hold a grudge against Newman to this day. I think it's just a really humourous, infectious song. You can't argue with that beat. In the '70s they really knew how to record sound so it sounded impeccable. And of course, Newman is one of the best songwriters of his generation. This song's hilarious.  “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

You can't trust 'em! They're always plotting! “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

The Cross? “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

He edited the title The Christ, as he is now convinced Jesus did not die on a cross, but a stake. Besides that, he does no longer seem to condone the the image of a cross as a way of worship. And he does not celebrate Xmas. So Another Lonely Christmas is OUT. |

But the real classic on the same album as "Short People" is this far less well known gem.
