I was listening to Huey Lewis and the News this morning and it made me smile, which is an impressive feat, as I don't show much emotion most mornings (think zombie). The song was "The Heart of Rock and Roll." Of course I knew they said the heart of rock and roll is still beating and from what Huey's seen he believes 'em. For the longest time I though he was saying the old folks might be barely breathing but the heart of rock and roll was still beating. Now doesn't that strike you as cold? Did he not care about the old folks? And what did they have to do with rock and roll?
I had no idea I had the wrong lyrics until recently, when a friend of mine corrected me and we had a good laugh at my expense (he wasn't sure of the lyrics either but he was fairly certain Huey wasn't singing about dying people). That's okay. For years, I thought Elvis was singing about his suspicious thighs.
