Canadian TV is pretty lame. Good thing I get more American channels than local ones.

i saw huey and the news back when they were doing heart of rock and roll, etc, and they put on a good show. more power to him for having a nice life.

Huey did his best work with Phil Lynott

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, commercial 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 humour.

I now offically feel old.

GET OFF MY FARKING LAWN!

Huey Lewis uses a blowdryer instead of a towel to dry his sack.


True story

Stompn_Tom: Huey Lewis uses a blowdryer instead of a towel to dry his sack.


True story

A blow dryer... hmmmm.... interesting.

Heh. He lives outside of Missoula, Montana. I went to school there for a few years, and still have relatives there.

I had a chance to see him in concert in Helena, Montana, in 1980 or 81. I blew the chance and didn't go see him :(

The Pineapple Express theme was classic.

wouldn't that get a little toasty?

/as a general rule, I like to keep objects that are sharp, hot, pointed, or acidic away from my junk-al area

When he tours the UK again, I'm definitely going to see him. He always seemed like a nice guy. Although I'll not be sitting through Chicago, thanks.

"Is that Huey Lewis or a friend of my dad's?"

got high as a kite with huey lewis a few months ago. off his mom's weed. true story.

Saw him last year at Pier 6 in Baltimore. Was a good show.

Huey Lewis is good,
but he is no Venom.

In 1987 Huey released this, Fore!, their most
accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is
"Hip To Be Square," a song so catchy that 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.

I'm sorry, you're just too darn loud.

/Obscure?
//I hope not

I believe Huey Lewis is the second coming of Christ...He IS the Christ.

And as such I base my whole life and belief system on his lyrics.

"And the Lord spoke to the masses and said 'My children, thee heart of rock and roll is still beating.' And it was so"

See! See!!!

Well have you ever seen Jesus and Huey in the same place?

Ha! All the proof you need!

"I think the Canadians do a better job at this sort of stuff - they're a little smarter and little more loftier than they are here in the States..."

Other episodes of "Where You at, Baby?" are set to feature former teen queens Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, Loverboy frontman Mike Reno and white rapper Vanilla Ice.

Yup.

MuchMoreMusic reality show called "Where You At, Baby?


God, MMM and MM need to be killed for the shiat they peddle as 'cool' now. And the music, too.

Gar. Bage.

It's hip-waders to be square.

Looks like he's aging well. I was in junior high when "I Want A New Drug" came out. One of my friend's Dad looked like Huey Lewis. It was always interesting going to the local mall with my friend if his Dad drove us - people in the mall always did a double-take.

I was driving around with my wife (back when she was just a fiancee), and she's flipping around the radio looking for something to listen to. One of the choices was Huey Lewis, and there wasn't much else. She asked "What do you think?", and I replied "I'm happy to be stuck with Hugh". not even a chuckle, smile, nor giggle. I considered calling the wedding off right there.

I would have opened the door and pushed her out, personally.

/still working on an ejector seat

He supposedly is a very nice guy, very unassuming. friend of mine has a smallish place at the jersey shore, huey was on tour a bunch of years ago and rented a similar small place a few doors down and hung out on the beach for a few days, reading books and bs'ing with with anyone who said hello.

If this is it, walkin' on a thin line? workin' for a livin'? I want a new drug!
I gotta get back in time, happy to be stuck with you, heart and soul in the heart of rock-n-roll.

Do you believe in love?
I'm climbing Jacob's ladder.
Doing it all for my baby.
Stuck with you.
By the power of love.

Huey Lewis and James Lee Burke?

I may have to check Missoula out.

Needs more bullhorn, methinks.

Saw them back in the '80 twice. Like a really tight bar band in a big venue. Just havin' a blast and soaking it all in. Saw them again a few years ago in a local casino and they were just as good as I remembered them. They enjoyed themselves immensely and the crowd fed off that. Great show.

Bukharin: Huey did his best work with Phil Lynott

Yes indeed he did.

I rather enjoyed him in Duets. Along with Paul Giamatti, it was a decent flick (albeit with a rather hokey premise).

Came here to say that.

Bukharin: Huey did his best work with Phil Lynott

In the liners of Lizzy's Live and Dangerous, there is a thank you to "Bluesy Huey Lewis".

BTW, Huey was just a bar band that got slicked up.

Saw them a couple of times in the 80's when they headlined arenas and they were great both times.

The Glass Dragon: TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW, YOU FARKING STUPID BASTARD! YOU! STUPID! BASTARD!!!!

Heh. I've never seen the whole movie (got it DVRed though), but I caught that part last night.

/I'll read the book when I get around to it.

I just saw Lewis back in 2001. Still puts on a great show, has a great horn section, and I don't care what ANYONE says, he still made some of the best music of the 80's.

Yes, that's not saying much, but it's still awesome.

Huey with Clover

/not impressed

Huey Lewis should have kept acting. He was very good in "Duets," even though he was saddled with that yawn-producing Paltrow girl. Seinfeld trivia: the guy the gang laughed at while he was being mugged is SPOILER ALERT the same guy won the karaoke contest in "Duets" - the supremely creepy John Pinette. The more you know.

Word on the street is that Huey has huge cock.

Crakerasscracker: Word on the street is that Huey has huge cock.

Well then I say we put a new word on the street that he has a small cock. That's how it works, ya know?

Actually, I've lived in Missoula since '83. I love it here. My kids went to school with Huey's for awhile. He seems like a pretty down to earth guy. Never seen his cock though, so fortunately I can neither confirm nor deny that rumour.

I imagine the subject doesn't come up often at the PTA meetings.

Yay! 80's music, when music was fun and didn't take itself serious to the point of being endless boring crap.

Scanlon Kelsey: The Pineapple Express theme was classic.

I was gonna say that. It's a surprisingly good li'l number. Sounds like it was recorded about 20 years ago.


/Saw them at Pine Knob in the 80s, since we're recollecting...
