Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?

Some people have heroes, some have idols, and some worship God. I don't know much about that stuff, but all I know is that my favorite character out of any movie I've ever seen is Patrick Bateman from the movie American Psycho. If you haven't seen the movie, it's very gorey but it's a great plot and the ending leaves you speechless. You really have absolutely no idea what happens...I won't tell you what actually happens but it definitely left me hanging. The first time I saw the movie, I was with some of my buddies and I might have been the only one who hadn't seen it out of all of us. Patrick Bateman, played by Christian Bale or as most of you know him as the new Batman, is an amazing actor and plays the part of this psychotic, rich CEO that spends money as if it grew on trees and has a slight habit of comitting murder. He envisions killing people he works with and people he's close to but the whole time he has this front on that is professional and charming. It's kind of crazy to think that someone could do that, even if it is just a movie. He obsesses over business cards and exfoliating soaps and has a notebook of disgusting drawings of how he plans to murder people. He is an intense individual and he is very interested in a band called Huey Lewis and the News...ever hear of the song "It's Hip to be a Square?" I think it was playing in the background as he murdered one of his colleagues...sort of a motivational pump up for his homicide. He might be crazy but I think he's pretty cool.

I love Huey Lewis and the News.

I used to write for the music business, and thus got to meet a lot of these acts--as well as free tickets to the concerts.

I miss that!
