I’ll tell you what, Tree, this is actually a pretty damn solid RM post.

End on a high. Be the stuff of legends.

i.e. Never post again after this one. It'd be a beautiful exit post.

Thank you for your concern but I don't really care what anybody thinks about me that much. I'm just here for me.

tree, what are your thoughts on the Huey Lewis and the News song Hip to Be Square?

I was a pretty big fan of this song as a kid. I think it might have been one of the first songs that blew my mind as a young child. My mom had that record and a little record player she let me mess with and I would replay his songs over and over. Now, though, not sure... it's OK. I appreciate the craft, but it seems kinda lame. Not sure if it's aged very well. Or maybe it's me that hasn't aged well. I don't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If This is It is much better, and the weird beach video played great when it followed David Lee Roth’s California Girls.

Let’s not be making fun of Huey Lewis & the News.

Yeah.

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.

Even for a band that formed in 1990, there seem to be very little real news from the band at the moment. No tour, no album/ep/single/new music. Just some solo stuff.

Ah yes, the inevitable turn into discussion of Huey Lewis & The News. We're all rumored and speculated out.

Hey bodysnatcher, go run into Mike at a record store and get some real intel. We're dying in here.
