You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste, 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 more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Hey, Glegle?

Yes, Anon?

Why are there copies of the Style section all over the place? Do you have a dog? A chow or something?

No, Anon.

Is that a raincoat?

YES IT IS! 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!

HEY PAUL!
