Flakes must avoid Huey HIS ALBUM PULLS NO PUNCHES

EIGHTIES pop legend Huey Lewis refused to be politically correct on his new, and possibly final, album.

Weather, out now, was recorded before he lost his hearing due to Ménière’s disease. He can no longer sing but hopes that will change. One of the stand-out moments is a

throwback called Remind Me Why I Love You Again, and it’s gloriously un-PC.

Huey told me: “Yeah it’s not very 21st Century, people were concerned about that.

“They said, ‘You ought to change the lyrics because it’s too accusatory,’ but it’s funny, it’s meant to be funny.”

He’s right but today’s snowflake generation may not appreciate lyrics that go

‘You don’t cook / And you won’t clean / You can’t even operate a washing machine.’

But Huey doesn’t care: “I learned to stick to my natural impulses, I suppose I could have softened the blow a little bit and said, ‘You won’t cook and I won’t clean,’ but then I thought I’m beyond being politically correct. “It’s obvious I love her in the song.” After losing his hearing in one ear over three decades ago, Huey lost his second ear two years ago. Now it fluctuates so badly he can no longer sing. At one point he even contemplated suicide, but he’s determined to sing again one day. He told me: “I’ve tried everything and seen specialists.

“It’s like being underwater, sometimes it’s better sometimes it’s worse. “I probably can’t hear at all one third of the entire time now, and I never know if it’s going to change so I can’t even book a rehearsal, let alone a gig. “Last year I managed to sing at the Dunhill golf tournament in Scotland at St Andrews because my hearing was good.

“I just have to hope that it will improve.”

If his band don’t get to play classics like Back to The Future theme Power Of Love live again, at least we can look forward to hearing their songs in a musical. Already a success in San Diego, the singer revealed: “We hope to bring our show The Heart of Rock N Roll to Broadway in the fall.

“It has new songs and the hits, I would love it to reach the UK too – that would be great.”
