Heidi, I can say one good thing about Huey Lewis: his guitar player guy is quite good. I forget his name but if you listen to "If This Is It" you'll hear some top notch guitar playin'.

If you have ever caught those 'Behind the Music' shows, the Huey Lewis and the news one was the best.  They were all friends before the band started, they all remained friends throughout the life of the band and all retired when they made enough money from touring after spending and saving wisely.  There were no sordid affairs, drug addictions, in-fighting, or any of the other moronic things just about every band that get's popular goes through.  It was one of the most 'boring' behind the musics, but the best one in my opinion because of the integrity and the rationality the band members exhibited.

I want to say the guitarist's name was Johnny Colla, and if I remember correctly, he also played horn.

I have this one, I tend to prefer Sports over everything else they did but their other work did have it's merits. 

I found the overwhelming positivity the band exhibited both though the music itself and the band's attitude outside of their music (as well as their oft displayed quirky sense of humor) inspiring and very helpful to keep around when crafting my own work. 

Seems like the only time I listen to music anymore is when I'm writing or drawing.
