I hope their fans were able to keep up with the boundary-pushing foray into exotic global rhythms evidenced on that track.

My brother works at Universal and they do shows for their Mardi Gras festival. He performed one year, and my brother was assigned to help escort them to the stage, then watched the show.
Tickets to these things come with your Universal ticket so not everybody at the show gives a fuck
He apparently was belligerent throughout the show, complaining that the crowd was too quiet and that they needed to be more excited

I don't think so -- it definitely wasn't bigger than (or, for that matter, nearly as big as) the albums that preceded it. Didn't even make the top 10 in the US.

we settled this in the main thread or the poll, I think. In fact, Fore! is a charter member.
I'm trouble finding any other sources that describe any aspect of their music as 'funky' (as this article does twice).
Did you mean: "huey lewis" funny

Good profile:

there's a line in one of his songs I can't stop thinking about
"I like the sound of breaking glass/And if you don't believe me, why did ya ask?"
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "why did ya ask??" it's your song!!

His hearing loss seems to be in the news today. Not in the news, only on social media, is that a high school friend of mine found his wallet in the middle of the street in NYC and returned it to him.

With chart-topping songs such as “Hip to Be Square,” “Do You Believe in Love,” “Workin’ for a Livin’,” and “The Power of Love,” the musical follows a former rock singer who has traded in his guitar for a stable job in corporate America. He’s on the verge of closing the ultimate business deal and winning the girl of his dreams (who’s also the CEO’s daughter) — that is, if he doesn’t jeopardize everything by reuniting with his band for another shot at rock-and-roll glory.

Found out about that when a high school classmate of mine found a wallet in the theater district, figured out it was his and returned it to him.

I’m not surprised about the Broadway musical. If Billy Joel has enough big songs to carry a show like this then so does Huey.
