Before yesterday's Giants/Phillies NLCS game, 1980s hitmaker Huey Lewis of the band "Huey Lewis" announced the starting lineup for the Giants and sang the National Anthem. He's got a new album coming out, entitled "you don't care what this album's title is," to be released at some point in the semi-near future.I am old enough to have had a mom who was really into Huey Lewis (which I think still makes me younger than most of the FanHouse staff), so besides the whole Back to the Future thing my biggest memory of Huey is how he started off an album with "The Heart of Rock & Roll," which starts with silence followed by a heartbeat, so my Mom would put the record on, think something was wrong because she was only hearing silence, would turn it way way up and then our house would shake because of Huey Lewis and his stupid heartbeat song.
Today's Dugout follows.
