More on Huey Lewis:
 
this is an interview with Bonnie Hunt in 2009 (when he was 59 - he's  62 
now--astonishing, I know), talking about his beginnings at age 16 bumming  
around Europe playing his harmonica and even busking in Marrakesh for tiny  
amounts of money, enCOURAGED by his own father to take a year off before  
starting College. It might encourage some up and coming musicians.

And here's a video posted here before: Huey in Tokyo in 1988 where he takes 
 immense pleasure in playing his harmonica before segueing into Working for 
a  Living.

I can't imagine him being deliberately mean to an audience member  since 
he's long been known to be a down to earth and just genuinely nice guy,  but 
knowing that he has an extremely dry sense of humour (just watched an  
interview done fairly recently at his ranch in Montana where he straight-faced  
talks about a man of his stature having to do his own laundry (he's kidding)  
because he gave his laundress the week off, perhaps his humour was  
misunderstood? Here's that clip:

 People who like to kid and have a slightly sarcastic (but funny)  sense of 
humour are very often misinterpreted. I should know. ;)
