I was rewatching some of the 1985 AMA performance the other night,

and Huey Lewis seemed to go out of his way to make it VERY CLEAR

that he supposedly had no clue who Prince even was.

Remember, this is the year that Madonna, Lionel Richie, and even members

of the Jacksons were dressing like Prince to the AMAs.

HUEY then reads an award for album of the year (I believe) which pitted

Prince against some heavy hitters to include MJ. Prince won.

HUEY reads the card inside the envelop and says,
"This is going to come as a surprise, but...." in an almost snotty tone.

Now there are two things that seemed kind of apparent to me:

1. It would have been absolutely impossible for him to NOT know who Prince was. PR was the biggest tour that year, a hit movie, and a mega-selling album. Everyone was talking about Prince performing that night, and half of the damned audience was dressed as Prince.

2. Huey appeared to actively dislike Prince.

Am I the only person who noticed this? Did Huey have some kind of beef with Prince?

Who?

#1. Not only did Huey act like a bitch at the '85 AMAs, he went on and on in some mag interview about Prince's put-on snotty attitude. Like Huey was the only one who saw through it or something.

#2. Short Cuts is a fantastic film.

Did Huey REALLY do that?

I knew I wasn't making shit up. It was so apparent that Huey was being pissy to me, but it didn't appear that anybody else seemed to notice.

I also remember a clip of Kurt Loder trying to defend Prince to him but Huey couldn't get over Prince's "cocky attitude." I think Lewis viewed Prince as the Kanye West of that era. It pissed me off then, but now I kinda see his point.

I really don`t c the point in discussing this (but I get the drift from the question though, I remember that dissing tone from H.Lewis. But hey, COME ON, H.Lewis (and the ... News (?)) were probably an ok 80`s band....but 2 even compare or mention H.Lewis in the same topic or discussion with Prince....is just 2 silly. As an ARTIST, MUSICIAN, PERFORMER, PRODUCER, ARRANGER etc.etc.etc., think of it : PRINCE versus H.Lewis (and the....News(?)) doesn`t deserve 2 even be mentioned.

I don't know if this has been mentioned,but Huey Lewis performed with Prince onstage before.This was in 1987 during the SOTT era.He and Chaka Khan joined Prince onstage during one of his aftershows.Does anyone know the exact gig I'm referring to?

actually, i could be mistaken but, i dont remember if it was in this documentary of Prince called the Glory years. and it has a few celebrity interview snippets talking about Prince,or if it was in I Love the 80s 1984? (FAVE!) but anyways theres a snippet of Huey lewis talking about Prince in a Very positive way saying hes a very talented performer and stuff. and yes i thought it was pretty rude te way he said that and i dont think it was neccesary.
prince is Sexy. Period.
