Well, we were originally called Huey Lewis and the American Express. But on the eve of the release of our first record, our record label, Chrysalis Records was afraid that we'd be sued by American Express.
I've got four or five records in my head at a time that I try to work on and I would like to do a guitar trio record next - since The Police I've mostly made records with keyboards.
I've been around for such a long time. My first hit record was over 20 years ago and the people who bought my records then are married now and they probably still play these records and their children like them.

Records... a record just shouldn't be that important.
To be a great business person, you must be a great observer.
In a family business, you grow up with close contact to the business, whatever it is, and the beer business is certainly a very social type of business.
