Huey Lewis and the News
 
So I finally got around to seeing American Psycho the other day. I'd been wanting to see it for a while, but couldn't get around to it. I finally saw it and now I can't get "Hip to be Square" by Huey and the news outta my head. It's just so catchy, and comes at such an awesome time in the movie.

Bill Graham, legendary concert promoter extraordinaire, died in a helicopter crash coming back from a Huey Lewis and the News concert.

In all his life of seeing and knowing the greatest bands of his time (Grateful Dead, all the Filmore West/East stuff), and his last concert is a Huey Lewis and the Mother Fucking News concert?

:sad2: :usuck:

No love for Huey Lewis? They may not be your caliber of an all time great, but their music is way better than a lot of garbage that came out of the 80's, has more pep, and all around made people tap their toes and feel good. Kind of what music is supposed to do.

I just watched that movie for the first time last night, how weird!

Very strange movie, my wife didn't get a lot of it, I had to explain some of it. The part where he goes on the shooting spree, and ends up killing the cops reminded me of playing GTA.

Discussion thread for people who have seen the movie, were the killings real? or all in his head? People involved with the movie have all stated that the killings were meant to be real, but there are a lot of convincing clues in the movie that seem to point to them being part of his delusions, or at least part of it being imagined.

I think he imagined them all. Just because of the ending

I wasn't necessarily dissing Huey. Just the fact that Bill Graham was immersed in, and was a promoter for so many of the greatest music acts of our time: Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Santana, etc.. It just seems odd that a guy that was a part of so many Hall of Fame acts, dies after seeing a band that rarely gets mentioned outside a VH1 Saturday afternoon "Remember the 80's" show.

Graham was killed in a helicopter crash near Vallejo, California in 1991, while returning home from a Huey Lewis and The News concert at the Concord Pavilion. Graham had attended the event to discuss promoting a benefit concert for the victims of the 1991 Oakland firestorm, after a large portion of the Oakland/Berkeley Hills burned.
Once he had obtained the commitment from the News to perform, he returned to his helicopter, but was stopped by the bass player from the band, Mario Cippolina, who, in a moment of foresight, pressed Graham, unsuccessfully, to take his limousine. The helicopter crashed shortly after take-off, just 20 miles from the concert site.


That's all I was saying :yamon:

I love some Huey Lewis and the News stuff, i have a childhood memory hanging about at the house with a portable radio with a few friends and 2 Jehova Witness's start talking to us about Huey Lewis and the News lol

I do not believe I have Seen the Movie - Here is the Plot - "A wealthy New York investment banking executive hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies."

as for Huey Lewis and the News, they where an 80's Band. Some "Peppy" tunes sums them up well.

And yes, I am looking forward to the new Batman Movie!
