Robert is one of the most attractive people I’ve ever seen. His mannerisms, humor, expressions, way of speech. He has a delicately sensual way about him, you can hear it in his music too. Total heart throb!

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
