My second upload this week to keep y'all entertained

The husky voiced Huey Lewis came into my record store, Sam The Record Man, Toronto back in da day and was looking for barbershop quartet recordings, the section was not far from the recordings of birds from all over the world up on the third floor. Just sayin' if it was out there Sam's had it. Sheila helped me find them and I left it to the two of them. He is very charismatic and unassuming.

Back to "I Want A New Drug", I just got a request to do this one so here it is! I am cooped up in home cos my day job is closed down temporarily so I am expending my creativity this way, finding ways to keep me and you occupied a few minutes at a time.

Huey Lewis & The News started off as Huey Lewis & The American Express. Their try at a disco song "Exodisco" a disco version of the theme from the film Exodus, was a failure. Also Chrysalis was not a fan of the American Express moniker because of possible copyright infringement.

Once the name was adopted in early 1980, they released their first self titled LP. Two years later, "Do You Believe In Love" drove the album "Picture This" to gold status when it peaked at #7 on the Hot100.

Then came their 1983 commercial breakthrough, "Sports" that gave us four Top 10 singles, "Heart & Soul", "The Heart Of Rock & Roll", "If This Is It" and "I Want A New Drug" selling ten million copies in the US alone. However, most of this fame was attained in 1984 which put their career in overdrive.

As a SF Bay guy, Huey and the News are a public institution to this day. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

Now I see why Huey Lewis won his court case against Ray Parker Jr. of the Ghostbusters theme.

Thank you DiscoCat for making "I Want A New Drug" even better. I think Huey Lewis and the News would approve. I sure do.

Regarding the Toxicity of Trauma-bonding With the Narcissist & Leaving the Connection, Being Likened To, That Of Heroine Withdrawals:

Whenever one becomes so repulsed by the disgust of the experience, it's actually the opposite; your entire being rejects its presence in your system and it's never the same. There's no craving sickness, only the relief of cleansing. The heart wants what it wants, just like the mind, body, and spirit. The body yearns for, not only relief, from the toxicity but for a new drug; a true love. If you will. 😎
