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 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. Hey, Paul.

I wish that during this interview, Huey and Jimmy would have talked about and raised more awareness about the ear related autoimmune disease that Huey suffers from called Meniere's Disease. Invisible disability that has drastically affected his life and the lives of so many people. I wonder what device he was using to assist him with hearing

Maybe you should dive into the world of Ayreon. You could start with the Sixth Extinction, Everybody Dies or Amazing Flight. Parts of unknown rock opera’s unknown in the USA, while the world best metal singers participate.

The The Greatest Night in Pop documentary was surprisingly enjoyable, I didn't expect to learn so many interesting and emotional details about that iconic 1980s moment. And Huey Lewis was indeed the underdog hero in the documentary

Do you like Huey Lewis and The News.
They’re ok.
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.

Honestly surprised that he is one of the few of the older musicians with serious hearing loss. With performing you’d think lots more of them would. Always enjoyed his music nice to see he’s popular again

Clearly, we need a misheard Huey Lewis lyrics thread.
LA, Hollywood, and the Slt that Strips
Is something everyone should see
Neon tights on the pretty, pretty girls
All dressed so scantily

Blessed to have met Huey several times
Thru music and 'Power of Love' Back to the Future music video
We lived close to one another many moons ago
Those were the good old days

Gosh, watching that clip from we are the world makes me feel really old. Hueys voice still sounds strong. This was an awesome episode of Jimmy Kimmel.

So tragic what happened to him. To be so high in your musical career and then lose your hearing. I'm glad he's found his new path.

The top musical producer has hearing problems - that's about as short as you can sum up the situation in the musical industry today.
