TLKoerber Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, 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. 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.

I was working at a record store in SoCal when this was released - Music Plus #25 in Chino, for anyone wondering. I was unpacking the shipment, and I find a promotional 45 of this song. Store policy was that we couldn't play something if it wasn't in stock; we had a turntable and pretty much played what we wanted with only the previously-mentioned restriction. So that basically meant promos went home with whoever processed the shipment, or else whoever wanted it. 38 years later and I still have it, along with maybe a dozen promo LPs! If you don't know, there's a gold (usually) imprint on the album cover - and sometimes the album - stating that it's for promotional use only and to be returned upon the record labels request.

I remember pre-teen me, up on stage having a heart attack at the Capitol Theater. Dance was fun, but hell, that was the only time I've ever gotten up on stage.

No the matter the ages, Life is Dynamic. This is not the end for your generation, it is the beginning. Every 500 years or so, this happens so consider yourselves fortunate. YOUR generation has been given the opportunity to lead the way and make things better. Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. You have GOT TO GET a superior education and that means you find the finest professors in your field of study... You do not look at the name of a university. And your generation is going to have its fair share of the loonies and when they start with their BS in class at university, you have got to do what I did. Stand up, look them straight in the eyes and say, "Shut the F__k UP you fool. Go outside and do what you do best. Get high and disappear." In 1972. The war was winding down and these idiots were only in college because they escaped the draft and because THEIR PARENTS BOUGHT THEIR DEGREES. Guess who DID NOT SURVIVE? Look at Bill Gates. Perfect example. Another used car salesman that never did anything except buy people until there were no more people left. Now what does he do? He wanders around the world aimlessly looking for a cause and he's had plenty of them during COVID. But there are no more followers. Pathetic. So, go out and do what you do best at your age. Work hard. Study hard. Play hard. Enjoy your Saturday night to the hilt, drink plenty of water when the Sunday sloth comes in. Live. That's the message. And then when it's time to settle down remember this.... Now you have the responsibility of helping others without them asking because you know they need help. Because responsibility gives us purpose and direction. Remember: Money cannot give you security; it can only enhance it. Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness.

@@MrGanjaBandits That's a weird place to go with that but hey. You do you. There's nothing wrong with weird. But it is weird. It's like "Hey I read that book 1984 by George Orwell and it put me in such a great mood. They'll be looking after us in the future like a Big Brother. How great is that? I always wanted a big brother." And you got a head start on the whole doublethink concept...

Most people don't realize this, but that song was actually written about nuclear weapons and the threat of nuclear war. I was in high school when this song came out, and in the 80s, we were in the middle of the "cold war" with the Soviet Union, so world destruction was on everyone's mind at the time. The lyrics, "the future's so bright...", refer to the bright light that eminates from a nuclear blast.
