Helping Huey Lewis
Written by Chris C on November 21st, 2007
Thank God for Diesel wanting to take up a cause celebre this week because I am so out of ideas lately it isn’t funny. It is so bad I might even scour the streets of Haverhill, Massachusetts looking for King Alfred. I did a recipe yesterday. A recipe! Talk about walking on a thin line. I am just not angry all the time.
Let me be serious for a moment about why we are here-Huey Lewis, and the news is not good. Last time we saw him it was a pitiful turn as a Karaoke star with Gwyneth Paltrow in some movie that isn’t even worth the time to look up on IMDB. The power of love only goes so far.
It gets worse folks. He recently teamed up with another has-been celebrity Garth Brooks to record a country duet version of ‘Working for a Living’. I know at this point and time Huey it is a matter of taking what they are giving but come on. Country music?
No Huey no!
If this is it please let me know. I wanna know. First Bon Jovi defects and now you too Huey? I know country is easier to play and its range is severely limited to a vocabulary of twelve words including: ‘yeehah’, ‘hell yah’, ‘redneck’, ‘gee my sister IS hot now that I think about it’, ‘you sure do got a perty mouth’…where was I, oh yes, Garth Brooks.
What the hell was he thinking? Wasn’t there anyone who told Garth this alter-ego idea was dumb? Huey come on here buddy, you teamed up with Chris Gaines. Have you heard any of that crap? It makes ‘Hip to Be Square’ sound as cool as ‘Stairway to Heaven’. Hell with the laughter, does anyone remember good music?
I sure do and it is the Huey Lewis of old. His classic songs of love lost, fun times buried on the beach up to our necks, and the quest for perfect drugs need to be played again. Some music today is good and while good is good, most times bad is bad.
Come back to rock Huey, we promise we will buy your albums. We have to because they aren’t made in CD format. We couldn’t see the forest for the trees. We should have stuck with you all along. You finally are making us believe it too.
Of course there is such a thing as taking love too far…(R-rated clip ahead folks)

Dude, that video is seriously creepy. You need help. Come to my blog for a nice dose of Metal Health. :-)
Like I commented on The Big D’s Huey Lewis Campaign post, I want to do the dirty deed with him. Huey that is not Diesel. Yuck!

I was wondering when someone was going to make a Kevin Dubrow tribute post. I used to run home from school every day so me and my friends could listen to Metal Health-on vinyl!!
@angie: Please, if you are going to come on here and advertise models/actresses please use much better-looking ones. Angie makes Claire Danes look smoking.

Thanks for the Huey shout-out! I got so busy I missed it. I’ve let Huey down. :(

no Diesel, we all let Huey down by letting the radio bigwigs cast him aside like some 80’s singer who’s catalog of #1 hits all came from one album. Oh wait, that was Huey. Oops.
