re: 2000 to 1983 to 1987
Today's re: is brought to you by Patrick Bateman. Perhaps a music blogger himself? The guy knows his music or does he?

Mary Harron & Guinevere Turner (screenplay)
INT. BATEMAN'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
The living room floor has been meticulously covered with
newspaper.
Owen is slumped drunkenly in a white Eames chair, a glass
in his hand. Bateman is looking through his CDs.
BATEMAN
You like Huey Lewis and the News?
OWEN
They're okay.
BATEMAN
Their early work was a little too New Wave for my
taste. But then Sports came out in 1983, I think they really
came into their own, commercially and artistically.
Bateman walks to his bathroom, taking a large ax out of the
shower. He takes two Valium.
mp3: Huey Lewis and the News- "I want a new drug"
BATEMAN
(Said partly from the bathroom)
The whole album has a clear, crisp sound and a new sheen of
consummate professionalism that gives the songs a big boost.
Bateman comes back out and leans the ax against the wall.
He walks to the foyer and puts on a raincoat, watching Owen
from behind ail the time.
BATEMAN
He's been compared to ELvis Costello but I think
Huey has a more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
BATEMAN
In 1987 Huey released this, Fore!, their most
accomplished album. I think I heir undisputed masterpiece is
"Hip To Be Square," a song so catchy that 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 al~ a personal statement about the band itself.
Bateman puts on "Hip To Be Square."

BATEMAN crosses the room and picks up the ax.
We follow BATEMAN from behind as he walks up to Owen, the
ax raised over his head.
