Patrick Bateman:
Do you like Huey Lewis and The News?Paul Allen:They're OK.Patrick Bateman: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.Paul Allen:Hey Halberstram.Patrick Bateman:Yes, Allen?Paul Allen:Why are there copies of the style section all over the place, d-do you have a dog? A little chow or something?Patrick Bateman:No, Allen.Paul Allen:Is that a rain coat?Patrick Bateman: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.Patrick Bateman:Hey Paul!Patrick Bateman:TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW, YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD! YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!
