Ya Like Jazz?

I keep mentally entangling "Ya like jazz?" with "Ya like Huey Lewis and the News?" so here is a visual representation of this AGONIZING pain

    i don't know if it makes it funnier to anyone else, but the fact that 20 jazz funk greats ISN'T a jazz album (it's an industrial album by the band throbbing gristle) made me laugh harder than the rest of this.

    You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially 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 more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; 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

    There is an idea of a Barry Benson. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply. Am not. There.
