They've sold 20 million albums worldwide, they have a greatest hits album out,
and they have a summer concert tour underway, and we are thrilled.
Thank you for deciding to join us for our Summer Pages series.
Huey, good to see you, how you doing?
Good to see you, man.
Fine.
Hey, listen, you start, I think Huey Lewis and the News, the album came out in 1980, right?
Exactly.
Did you ever stop back then and think, 1997, you'd still be touring, doing well?
I actually didn't know we'd be alive, you know, but, yeah, we're real happy about it.
Is it still as much fun for you to get on the road and play for a live audience?
It is, really.
This is how we started, you know, playing live, and it's still what we do best.
I think we're, the work's still getting better.
How has the audience changed?
I know we have a lot of young listeners and still a lot of the older listeners.
[A] Yeah, they drive better cars now.
[Db] They can afford more.
Hey, we were worried about this weather, but you're from San Francisco, right?
No problem.
It's not a big deal?
Much better than Woodstock.
You promise?
We're not going to short out any equipment or anything like that?
If we do, we have good unions and we'll find it.
Boys are actually hoping [F] that something happens.
The workman's comp.
Huey Lewis, what are you going to play?
We're going to play Hard Rock [Dbm] and Roll.
Ladies and gentlemen, Huey Lewis and the News!
