Wednesday Night Playlist

In order to get The Skog Blog back on schedule, here is a playlist chock full of oldies but goodies. As I mentioned in my previous post, I saw Huey Lewis and The News this past Saturday Night and was reminded of how many fanfriggintastic songs they had. The videos and clothes might not hold up more than 25 years later but the tunes have aged much better than most of us might remember. I'm not even really including many of the songs from their album Fore that was pretty much a greatest hits album in its own right. Let us all partake of their goodness and enjoy.

The Greatest Hits of Huey Lewis and The News

The Heart of Rock n Roll

I Want A New Drug

If This Is It

The Power of Love

Jacob's Ladder

Do You Believe In Love

Heart and Soul

Back In Time

It's Alright

Perfect World

Workin' For A Livin'

Monday Night - The Music You Should Be Listening To Right Now

I'm getting old. Really old. I often joke that I have the body of an 80 year old man. How does one know when they are getting old? Sign # 1 - hair begins to grow in places were it hasn't and shouldn't grow. Sign # 2 - you start shopping for minivans. I did this on Saturday. I don't want to talk about it any more. Sign # 3 - you hear the favorite band from your youth on a 'Classic Rock' station.

Saturday while I was driving to test drive, uh, sports cars (wink!) I turn my radio to Arrow 103.5 and what do my ears hear? Huey Lewis and the News. Seriously. Classic rock is supposed to be The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zep, or the Doors. Not Huey Lewis and the News. Not the greatest band I ever heard while attending Bell View Elementary. Once I got over the shock of the situation my mind reflected upon the goodness that is Huey Lewis and the News. Their discography is full of great albums and soundtrack contributions. However, their greatest achievement and honestly a top 5 album of all time in the Skog Blog book is Fore. Not a single bad track on the disc. I wore out two copies of the cassette back in the day and it was one of the first CDs that I purchased with my own money.

Below are as many of the classic videos from Fore that I can find. And by the way, tonight IS Monday not Friday. Wheels just mocked me and said this should be a confession. Well guess what, there is no shame in loving Huey Lewis and the News. Fore is Music That You Should Be Listening to Right Now!
