Huey Lewis and the News

Rock & Roll is only mostly dead, so Huey Lewis claims. Kids today with their newfangled music owe a great debt to grandpa rock n' roll. Beneath all that flash, "it's still that same old back beat rhythm that really, really drives 'em wild."

Even though the "old boy may be barely breathing," Huey lets us know there's still some life in there. For a full 20 seconds, we hear the thump-thump-thump of the geriatric ticker before the band launches into an ode to the genre, complete with a rollicking sax solo by Johnny Colla. Even though the "old boy may be barely breathing," Huey lets us know there's still some life in there.
