Go and listen to the Sports album. If that doesn't answer your question, then time to move on.

I go back and reread from time to time when I'm having a bad day. It's easily one of the most endearing pieces I've ever read.

I assume from the picture that he's been cryogenically frozen since then.

xpost I thought that too and then noticed the ad for Pineapple Express behind him.
For some reason this was very disappointing to me.

Okay, this '80s revivalism shit really needs to stop.

I think I can answer the original question. I was in kid in the bay area, in the 80s, and my dad grew up in San Francisco. He worked for public transit, and bay-area blue collar boomers LOVED Huey Lewis.
A bay area native, he was the antithesis of the famous San Francisco counter-culture: super hetero, non-rebellious, non-bohemian.
Although NYC's counter-culture is also world-famous, so is its hard-hat culture, of "working Joes" who see themselves as the backbone of the city, keeping everything running. However, there is (or was) a similar culture in San Francisco and around the bay, and their heroes were The Bash Brothers, Journey, and Huey Lewis.
My dad was part of the counter-culture in the 60s, dodging the draft, living on the beach and following The Grateful Dead; but in the 80s, he was driving a bus, throwing newspapers and listening to Huey Lewis and the News.
I don't care for Huey Lewis' records much, except for Heart and Soul, which is a great song with an endearing video. Walk the Moon, eat your heart out!

7-8 years ago I got the "Sports" tape stuck in my car and the radio didn't work so I spent effectively an entire summer listening to it, his music is engrained in my soul

Same thing happened to me in 1993, except it was Rollins Band. You were lucky.

Sports is a perfectly defensible anthem, and although Fore! is a textbook example of a New Jersey I could count on him for a chugga-chugga single through 1991's "It Hit Me Like a Hammer."

"'I love you, Huey' was the note I readBut there's a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed" is fantastic.
