Ever hear what Hughie Lewis has to say about the music industry? He entered it as a joke, willing to ride it out for every dime he could get since he just did it as a fool's ride. Once he found people really liked his stuff, he felt connected to them even though he personally thought his music was simplistic lyrical food for idiots. He jumped into music cold in his late 30's and laughed at his successes. He's actually an engineer or something like that with a master's degree from an elite institution.

Thanks for that info on Lewis; I was unaware of it. I'll tell you this: he knows how to work an audience.

Mr. Lewis lives in Sonoma County CA these days. My wife used to run into him from time to time when she lived there.

She said he was a genuinely nice person.

He's also stinking rich.
