Biography
Cipollina was born in San Rafael, California in 1954. His older brother, John Cipollina (1943–1989) was the guitarist for Quicksilver Messenger Service.[1][2] Cipollina was in the band "Soundhole", based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their biggest competition was Clover.[3] In 1979, members of Soundhole and Clover joined forces to form Huey Lewis and the News.
The News' sound draws upon early pop, rnb, doo-wop, blue-eyed soul and new wave.[4][5][6] They had many top ten hits in the 1980s, including "Do You Believe in Love", "Heart and Soul", "I Want a New Drug", "The Heart of Rock & Roll", "If This Is It", "Hip to Be Square", "I Know What I Like", "Doing It All for My Baby" and "Perfect World".

The chapter reads as a review evaluating the qualities in Huey Lewis' albums— some are New Wave... some bring out his quintessential bluesiness— and these shifts in musical style of this bands are as much 'events' in the novel as anything happening in the lives of the characters.
