Ozzy Osbourne brings “Crazy Train” to "Rally To Restore Sanity and/or Fear"

First it was Peace.

Then it got Crazy.

When the dust settled, Love prevailed.

And so it went Saturday in Washington, at the Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert "Rally To Restore Sanity and/or Fear."

More than 200,000 people attended the rally, held on the steps on the Capital building; the event was timed to motivate US voters to consider their choices before the mid-term elections take place on Tuesday, a day expected to see the Democrats lose Congress seats to the new Tea Party.

The setup for all this came when Stewart initially announced his "Rally To Restore Sanity,” which was followed by Colbert’s announcement for a “Rally To Restore Fear.” The two events were scheduled to take place in the same city on the same day, a skilled promotion to build interest in both while the Comedy Central hosts played off each other in the weeks leading up to it.

Here’s where the Peace vs. Crazy equals Love equation took place:

Huey Lewis rocks with “Soulsville,” joins The Roots on Jimmy Fallon

Huey Lewis & The News are back with their first new album in nine years, “Soulsville,” which is out next Tuesday (although it’s already been released in the UK).

Recorded at the historic Ardent Studios in Memphis, the album features 14 classic songs from the vault of Stax Records, including “Respect Yourself” and “Got To Get You Off My Mind.”

Considered to be the preeminent soul music label in America, Stax was home to artists like Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Booker T & The MG’s, and Isaac Hayes, and produced an astounding number of hit records throughout the 1960’s & 70’s. Paying tribute to the rich Stax legacy, Huey Lewis and The News, joined by their long time horn section, capture the energy and excitement of this important era.

'Soulsville' re-unites Huey Lewis and the News with co-producer Jim Gaines ("Sports," "Fore!") who worked at the Stax studios as a young man and was involved in many of the label's original recordings.

“We’re especially proud of the collection,” says Lewis, who has been previewing material from the album while on a critically acclaimed summer tour. “There should be a number of surprises for everyone.”

Formed from two rival Bay Area bands in 1979, Huey Lewis and The News play a brand of straight-ahead rock and roll that has outlasted countless trends, selling over 20 million albums and earning Grammy Awards along the way. The group still performs around 100 shows a year. Lewis has enjoyed recent success on screen and stage as well, acting on the hit television show “Hot in Cleveland,” and performing in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical “Chicago.”
