Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Glad to see you back 04

You hearing me?

American Psycho

Yes it is!

In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Huey ain't got nuthin on Sheena.

said magazine once had a story a few years ago about a book written by groupies. They had a blip about the rockers who were packin the most microphalicphones if ya know what I mean, in a Tom Jones thing kinda way. Anywho I certainly recall that ole Huey had one of the biggest of the said Tom Jones bulge things.

don't ask me why I recall this, I'm certainly content with you know my masculinity and machismo stuff and all, um, yeah.

I remember reading the same story. Let's be honest, is there anyone who deserves a giant **** more than Huey Lewis? I think not.

[GottaHavePride]

Dude! 04 came back!

Sweet. It's like the ending of Free Willy, but in reverse.

Or something. That sounds gay after all those gay **** posts about Huey Lewis.

Heh.
