You like Huey Lewis and the News?


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, commercial 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 much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

New York Post:
  • His success in roles as violent vigilantes and steely-eyed psychopaths notwithstanding, Christian Bale's life as a child of hippie parents couldn't be more different from those of his characters.

    His mother, Jenny, was a circus clown and his father, David, a commercial pilot, animal-rights activist and tree-hugger.


His parents are hippies?

Not guilty. His mom probably deserved a beating.

In '87, Huey released 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.

Huey Lewis went to Cornell University, a number of years ahead of me. During the 1980s, after "Fore" hit it big, he used to sometimes come back to Ithaca and play in the local bars as a surprise, sort of the way Springsteen's done with the bars in Asbury Park.

Ithaca is also home to the oldest active comic book club in the US.

One of the comic books discussed at their meetings is Batman, which was recently made into a hit movie starring...Christian Bale.

The "big hosptial" is the one attached to the vet school itself. Is that what you mean?

Oh, and Chris Reeve also went to Cornell, as did Jimmy Smits and Ed Marino.

For a long time, Marinaro could not go back to Cornell for team reunions because there was a warrant for his arrest in Ithaca due to unpaid parking tickets. He insisted they weren't his and wouldn't pay them. Finally, a local alum paid them, when Ed was scheduled to come back for some big event and the local paper reported the warrant was still in effect. When he finally did come back, he jokingly told the newspaper that it was his mom's car and he thought she'd paid them.

You know who else went to Cornell? Keith Olbermann. I'm surprised whomod doesn't make a pilgrimage there annually.

I was wondering if somebody would do the huey lewis bit from "AMERICAN PSYCHO." Nice work.

And, on a related note, what do you think the verbal assault constituted? In my mind it goes something like this ..



BALE: "Fuck you! I'm not going to fucking McDonald's for lunch, I'm listening to Fore on repeat!"

MOTHER/SIS: "Well at least get off the couch, Chris."

BALE: "Fuck yo couch, sista! FUCK. YO. Couch!"

MOTHER/SIS: "Jesus, Chris. We don't even know who you are any more."

BALE: "Oh, I'll tell you who I am. I'm the goddamned BATMAN."

MOTHER/SIS: "ok somebody take the coke and pictures of heath ledger away from him and get the police on the phone."

Bale is a method actor. I've heard he likes to dress like Bats and force relatives to be Robin.

I remember that issue. I think the whole thing was about them playing Monopoly.

That's been Bruce's fuckin' "get out of jail free" card since he was eight years old, hasn't it?

But, seriously, Curt Swan's a great artist, but he drew possibly the worst Batman ever.

Who wrote that issue, and when was it published? (Can't - or shouldn't - have been made before the 70's, and yet, the art look very 1960's to me.)

 Quote:
The country's Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement that there was insufficient evidence to afford a "realistic prospect of conviction" and ordered the police not to take any further action in the case.

....

Prosecutors said the decision not to pursue the case was based in part on the feelings of Bale's mother and sister.

While it "treats all incidents which take place in a domestic context seriously, it is important that the views of complainants are also taken into account when making decisions in such cases," the service said.
