OT: Huey Lewis "Sports" 30th Anniversary

[drummike]

For what it's worth, Huey Lewis and the News are apparently touring this summer and playing their 1983 album "Sports" in it's entirety. I never bought any of their albums but I remember they were huge back then and their songs were constantly playing on MTV and top 40 radio. I'd be glad to hear a certain other band celebrate the 30th anniversary of a certain 1983 album in some kind of way, (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), but I guess we have to be happy with what we had.

I saw Huey Lewis & The News live and I have to say they are a great great band! Really cool, way much better than on records, trust me.

Yeah, I just read an interview where he said he grew up listening to rhythm and blues station KDIA because he just wasn't into Jefferson Airplane and other bands like that in the 60s.

Bill Gibson is one of the best unsung drum heroes on the planet.
