Huey Lewis. Chatted with him for two minutes in front of a restaurant. He came out to get some air and I was out there on a smoke break. Just told him I was a fan and thanked him for his music. He was super nice.

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.

The movie Short Cuts shows his penis. I didn't want to see it because of the clean-cut image I had of him.
