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.
Hey Halberstram.
Yes, Allen?
Why are their copies of the style section all over the place, d-do you have a dog? A little chow or something?
No, Allen.
Is that a rain coat?
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.

One of my roommates brought in his couches when we all moved in together. The couches have names. "Huey Lewis" and "The News."

What the fuck? What's not to like about American Psycho (retards who have dissed it)?
Sex. Violence. Drugs.
What more does a fucking movie need?

Sports was the first cassette that I ever owned. I was like 8 or 9.
