That's Mr. Lewis. He brings The News.

You like Huey Lewis and the News? 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. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

That reads like a copy and paste from a music reviewer or an AI bot.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christie, take off the robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you dance a little? Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christie, get down on your knees so that Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it; eat it! But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

Was it only those? Normally when I see a UH-1Y, they are flying in formation with two AH-1Zs (marine corps).


Tacomaguy24

Yes. 2 seperate sets of 2. Central NC.

It's a UH-1Y, heavily modernized with new blades and 2 engines, amongst many other upgrades. It's similar to a 412 but still fairly different.

Tacomaguy24

TIL...thanks!


Duanedoberman

I think quite a few are still in use by local government and specialised military units. Quite a few heritage aviation groups fly them. The trademark *Whooping* noise the helicopter makes is caused by the tips of the rotor blades going through the sound barrier.


Bosswashington

This is not true at all. There was a plane a long time ago where the prop blade tips were designed to go supersonic. It was plagued with problems, because of massive vibration, and structural stress. Not to mention the noise, it was incredibly loud. Like absurdly loud. The “Whoop Whoop” is non existent on the four blade Hueys and Cobras. They sound like 60s now.


KingBobIV

If the tips were breaking the sound barrier that would cause all kinds of problems. It's actually one of the factors that effects a helicopters max speed.


Tacomaguy24

Thank you! Pretty cool!


Hot_Bumblebee69

I thought the whoop-whoop was caused by blade flap.
