I'm so excited that Huey Lewis and the News are coming to Koka Booth in July. Tickets go on sale next week, and presale tickets go on sale next Wednesday. Does anyone have a presale code or know how I can get one?

Can't help you with any presale codes, but I'm reminded of this:

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor. 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.

I saw Huey Lewis at the Pier in the Cameron Village subway before he and his band made it big. (Yes, I am old!)

I am actually SHOCKED that there are at least six people who will actually confess on a public forum to being Huey Lewis fans.

(all in fun)
