Lynott befriended Huey Lewis while Lewis’s band, Clover, was supporting them on tour. Lewis was impressed with Lynott’s frontman abilities and was inspired to perform better, eventually achieving commercial success in the 1980s. Lynott’s songs, including “Cowboy Song” and “Massacre”, were influenced by the band’s US touring. He had a particular affinity for Los Angeles.
