And who can forget his er, performance in Short Cuts. Huey was showing off his package long before Ewan McGregor or Harvey Keitel. I saw Huey & The News back in '84 during the peak of the Sports tour. They had a comedian as their opening act, as if they were bringing the club with them. Great, great show. And let's not forget he helped get Bruce Hornsby's career off the ground.

Damn. He was smart, indeed!

Of course, don't forget his odd jobs, too. Like “Duets.” IMDB also informs me that he was on “One Tree Hill.” And there was his stint on Broadway as Billy Flynn in “Chicago,” which I so totally went to. Have I mentioned I love Huey Lewis?

Lewis was smart when he hit it big. On “Behind the Music” he admitted that he knew fame was fleeting and he (gasp) saved his money. Thus, he's all smiles out there sat gigs because he's not workin' for a living. He's actually having fun.

Huey Lewis shoved me out of the way after a Pretenders show in San Francisco a few years ago in his rush to get backstage. He's a big guy.

You'll have a good time, I'm pretty sure of it. Lewis knows what his audience wants to hear and he's not cagey about it.

That's awesome! I'm seeing them for free at Coney Island in like a week.

I saw Huey Lewis & The News a couple months ago and it's pretty incredible – for a self-professed bar band who got lucky a couple times, they commanded that stage. I'm surprised Lewis isn't the outright envy of his '80s pop counterparts, considering how well the band did. A lot of other bands in that same position have become really jaded, workman-like and frankly disrespectful, confirming why they wound up as the second act at the county fair…
