[...] Novoselic, and Chad Channing apparently felt no need to celebrate its release with a performance of Huey Lewis & the News’s “The Power of Love.” Boy, were these guys out of touch! No wonder I’d [...]

[...] All this being said, “Perfect World” is a fine song. Any song that features the Tower of Power horns so prominently is tops in my book. It was written by Alex Call, who was the lead singer of Clover, Huey Lewis’ former band. Alex even wrote most of the horn parts, which is pretty impressive, considering it’d be easy for Tower of Power to come in and just piss all over ‘em. The song reached #3, becoming the group’s last Top 10 hit. What a bummer. And I know I’m not the only one reading this who feels this way; Huey Lewis was voted innocent by a count of 300 to 71 in Rock Court. [...]

Nice job, prosecutor. I concur. Guilty all the way.

I think I've been waiting for this article for years. Back in the day, it was my firm theory that the government was fed up with the outlandish behavior or rock stars and creating Huey Lewis as a government band and an attempt to send mind-control music to the masses. Who else would write songs like Hip to be Square and I Want A New Drug other than the government? How else could one explain their ability to make the airways if it wasn't for powerful, covert government agencies forcing DJ's at gun point to play it?

I'd say Huey was the good-looking guy who made you feel better about yourself by refusing to take himself too seriously.

Might depend on whether you take “Hip to be Square,” too seriously, which I don't. I view it as more of a flimsy commentary on Reagan-era conformity.

while Huey does get points for using the Attractions on his first and i believe second album. The content and insufferable grinning that he subjected us to non stop outwiegh any good he may have attempted.
