“In this conversation, Randy explains why, over the years, he’s struggled to like one of his most critically acclaimed songs. He talks about how he’s changed his approach to songwriting over the years. What’s easier now? What’s harder? And lastly, what’s the deal with “I Love L.A.”? Is it sincere? Ironic? Hard to tell with a guy like Randy.”
