BREAKING RULES WITH HUEY LEWIS

Right below "decadent millionaire" and "world savior" on the list of popular life ambitions is "normal guy making good as bigdeal rock star." CREEM has come across with a list of some of the rules that could help normal guys the world over stay normal once rock stardom hits. (How to be a bigdeal rock star is next month.)

Below each rule on this list are quotes from the normal-est guy in rock today, Huey Lewis. He's 33 (not old but not young); cute but not gorgeous; smart but not snooty; ambitious but not nuts. Lewis did the normal rock star schooling, kicking. around in various bands and flirting with success until the right time, songs, musicians and dumb luck came together. The first LP didn't do much; but the second, Picture This, did the trick for Huey and the other normies in the News with "Do You Believe In Love?" Now there's Sports and its hits, "Heart And Soul" and "I Want A New Drug." For being such a good example of a normal guy, we give Huey our normally perverse CREEM thanks —an abnormal article. Lucky guy!
