The new Randy Newman is actually pretty good; I wouldn't knock it.

Um your comment is not good. The problem is that you picked a really dumb ass thing to say.

Improvisation in classical music, like in jazz, is often based on established forms. Considering Ma plays the cello, a lower register instrument, it makes sense that he would provide the basic form.

If ever there were a time I'd like to embed something in the comments here, this would be it. Hypocrisy at its finest. Whether or not there was malicious intent behind the word (and for all Homme says, he used the word in a derogatory manner), the meaning of the word can indeed be hurtful. If Homme had apologized for his usage of the word, I think this would be more acceptable. But it's clear he has a track record of homophobic comments, and he's too proud of himself to apologize for his blatant hostility. Pathetic.
