Review: Randy Newman, 'Dark Matter'

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel thanks for the perspective: "Dark Matter: What is it??" of the most informative my friend!

The music changes. A foreboding space voice begins to answer, shrouded in a disorienting echo. He is not persuasive, and Newman becomes impatient. "Let me get this straight – you don't know what it is, you don't know where it is, and we can't get any. Let's put that to one side. Let's put the Lord, faith, eternity, whatever, on the other side."

As he asks the crowd to vote via a show of hands, a gospel jubilee erupts. The choir joyfully proclaims "I'll take Jesus every time!" to a high-stepping beat. Religion takes Round One in a smackdown.

Very interesting.
