His 1984 debut album 'Human's Lib' and the 1985 follow-up 'Dream into Action' continue to prove popular, and Howard said of this music: "I think the 80s work continues to resonate because it offers little chunks of philosophy to listeners. People have taken the lyrics to heart and they've become part of who they are. It's why I've always got a connection to my fans. There are people who say art can't change the world, but that's not my view. I think music and lyrics can have a profound effect on people. Otherwise, what's the point in doing it?"
