:26:01
Another martini, Paul ?
:26:09
You like
Huey Lewis and the News ?
:26:11
Um, they're okay.
:26:15
They're early work was a little
too new wave for my taste.
:26:19
But when Sports
came out in '83,
:26:22
I think they really came into their own,
commercially and artistically.
:26:28
The whole album has
a clear, crisp sound,
:26:30
and a new sheen of
consummate professionalism...
:26:33
that really gives the songs
a big boost.
:26:45
He's been compared
to Elvis Costello,
:26:48
but I think Huey has a far more bitter,
cynical sense of humor.
:26:52
Hey, Halberstram ?
Yes, Allen ?
:26:54
Why are there copies of the Style
section all over the place ?
:26:57
Do you-- Do you have a dog ?
A little chow or something ?
:27:02
- No, Allen.
- Is that a raincoat ?
:27:04
Yes, it is.
:27:07
In '87, Huey released this--
:27:09
Fore, their most
accomplished album.
:27:11
I think their undisputed
masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square."
:27:15
The song's so catchy, most people
probably don't listen to the lyrics.
:27:17
But they should,
because it's not just about...
:27:20
the pleasures of conformity
and the importance of trends.
:27:23
It's also a personal statement
about the band itself. Hey, Paul !
:27:32
Try getting a reservation
at Dorsia now,
:27:35
you fuckin' stupid bastard !
:27:38
You fucking bastard !
