I was surprised no one else took a Huey Lewis song. I know they aren't considered the coolest band but man were they fun. Bunch of great songs.

Wanted to see him live like a month or 2 ago but his ticket prices were outrageous

Huey lewis and the news is one of my favorite band names ever

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.

What are your thoughts on Hip To Be Square Platy?

I saw them play a show after a Royals game at the K once when I was younger. Early/Mid 90's. It was a blast. A ball field is about the perfect environment to see that band.

Their undisputed masterpiece. 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.

A friend went to the show n said he was pretty awesome

Just seeing Huey lewis tickets go for $100 in 2014 blew my mind.. it was a small venue tho

Which reminds me, I can't believe no one drafted Sussudio.

It was on my list but I went with a Genesis song instead. That and Easy Lover.

They were a ton of fun. Sounded great. Tons of energy. I really enjoyed myself. Also, saw Joe Walsh after a Royals game a few years later. That guy is hilarious. And awesome.

My buddy had this sports bloopers vhs tape he got for a buck at a yard sale or somethin.. we used to watch it when we were messed up.. it wasn't even real bloopers, just like fumbles n tackles in the backfield for losses.. it played "i want a new drug" 90% of the time in the background.. so whenever I hear that tune I think of that ridiculous tape

Saw them a few years ago. Fun show. They were on my "almost list" as well.
