The heart of rock and roll is still beating, and from what I seen I am one of the greatest kings is here to speak to all of you. I didn't always call myself a king but I feel I earned my stripes enough to be up there with some of the greatest like Bruce Springsteen or Brian Wilson. I was very underrated during my time on the stage with The News. I go on tours still but they are at small venues most of the time.

So please tell me your imput, is yours truly one of the greatest rock and rollers ever?

Not even close. Bruce Springsteen? Please, try Rick Springfield.

Plus your English sucks.


But hey at least psychopaths love you.

You were ok and as stated in your interviews your safe pop rock was your personal way of rebelling against the established San Francisco scene that came before you. Your music served its purpose as entertainment for blandized whitebread jabronies shopping at Kmart.

I really feel I was up there with all the best that's the thing. I found it hilarious literally when I found that my music was a favorite of a psycho character in a movie named Patrick Bateman but to say my music is liked by psychos is not a nice thing to imply.

And its a very snotty thing of you to comment on my English when I have only spoke English my whole life and I was writing well to you all the same. I am a good guy, and I just know I put out good music, period.

Huey Lewis is actually a good guy, and this limp impersonation will be quickly forgotten.

I have been told that I was more punk rock at the end of the day than a lot of the scenesters in the Bay Area. I mean you look today at that Bay Area scene, theres nothing to it. Yet you can go to NYC and still hear my music.

So what if some working class people liked my music or "bland" folks as you call them. I mean its not like some people weren't bland who liked anything "cooler" as well. I feel that you fall into a stream of uncertainty and you have been a follower as well. Just my opinion.

- Working for a living.

If you are really Huey Lewis tell us something that would prove it.

What was your math score on the SAT?

'The News' were pretty good, not sure who Huey was, wasn't he one of Donald Duck's nephews?

When I did that song "Cruisin Together", I was with Gwyneth Paltrow. I was teaching her how to sing for the song and I maintained a pretty good friendship with her after that. It was a cover of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and as a success story, me and Gwyneth managed to make it the best cover song of the early millennium.

I don't know why I have to prove a lot to you especially my math score on some SAT back many years ago. I mean what if I forgot?
