Huey Lewis. And the News. And bears.

Something Awful's guide to awful Christmas gifts (page 5) (propogated from skx)

balistic: When I was seven I got my first Walkman from my mom, and my mom's friend gave me my very first cassette for it: Huey Lewis and the News. Now, imagine being seven years old, in the mountains of California in the middle of winter, with only a Huey Lewis tape to entertain you . . . and now imagine that the power goes out for two weeks, and there is six feet of snow outside, and bears. I'm not making this shit up.

To this day, I have a visceral hate reflex upon hearing any track from that album.

Fuck Huey Lewis.

And the News.

And bears.

huey lewis has a cameo in back to the future! and the music in the metropolis zone in sonic 2 sounds like it was recorded by him!

this is completely inconsequential, but it all happened to be discussed last night with gnomatron, so i had to chime in.

The music of Huey Lewis also features in a most memorable scene in american Psycho .

God. The horror.
The sheer unadulterated horror.
Thank you for sharing that. ~laughs~

I like the one with the brick. I've been looking for something for my 11 year old cousin for ages, and if he didn't live in Germany, he'd be getting one of those now. (And i know we missed the post date. Oops. We're silly.)

When I was about seven, we went on holiday to Spain.

I, my parents, my two brothers and my grandmother, in the Volvo. All the way.

While there, my mum purchased half a dozen Julio Iglesias tapes cheap from a market.

Unfortunately, they all worked.
