I loves me some Huey Lewis. Too bad he is losing his voice!
I am sorry - you are absolutely correct~!
That's OK...it's not like I am keeping score or anything.

i was 12 when i owned a huey lewis lp.
when i was 13, this song i could still listen too. at 14 i was depressed.
only if you didnt notice you were actually stuck in a dead-end.I didn't think it was possible to feel sad after hearing a Huey Lewis song.
Hahah - I am not up on my Huey Lewis trivia! I am however, happy to be stuck with you...under self imposed Morrissey quarantine.

What we have today is the death of musicianship, and the ability to sing a song with a strong, well pitched voice without the need for A-tune. Whether you were totally in to a band or not to see them live was quite the experience.
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. 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 more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
In '87, Huey released 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.
they all look a bit starry-eyed. the guy in the lower left has spent too much time in the sun to get the tan needed for this picture but it didnt help much. he is pale from sickness.Could the guy on the lower left be any more stoned?
