it was probably more just an "understood" thing i bet. that was also my haircutback in seventh/eighth grade though. glad to know that i styled myself similarly to rock and roll band megastar/icons/legends.

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 consimante 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. 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.

opposite day. i gotcha. i gotcha.
hey- just had a crazy thought here. you guys think huey lewis would have been huey lewis if he didn't have "the news"? i bet he probably would have. i mean, sure they probably helped some. but that guy was just so magnetic/incredible that he still would have been fantastic solo right? thoughts? opinions? be sure to weigh in on this topic.
-
Ray Parker Jr would have never happened with out them, so I will grudgingly give HLatN some props.

Huey Lewis & The News Trivia #1
Q. What is Hueys real name?
A. Hugh Anthony Cregg, III
:party:

I vote Power of Love:
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling thats the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night
Chorus 1 :
You dont need money, dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden and its cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
Thats the power of love
Thats the power of love
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But youll be glad baby when youve found
Thats the power makes the world goround
Chorus 2 :
And it dont take money, dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you dont care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm
Chorus 3 :
It dont take money and it dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You wont feel nothin till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
Thats the power, thats the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

If my karaoke selections are any indication of my favorite Huey Lewis and The News song, I guess it's gotta be Hip To Be Square.
