    Actually, I remember "Roadrunner":

    And I say roadrunner once
    Roadrunner twice
    I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night

    Jonathan is fucking awesome, wish I could be there, have a blast. You know he loves New England best.

    edit: note: I posted the above, then clicked on the first video, WillyWhit you're okay man!

    yeah, great show.
    Got a bunch of video from 10 rows back and hung out after the show and took some pics with Jonathan. Weird tho, he can't use his voice after a show, like he was mute, he was writing on a notepad, says his doctor advised to rest his voice.
    he's an eclectic dude but really friendly, smiling , hugging people and shaking hands.
    I goofed on him, " so , you just lip synched that whole show, huh ? Pretty slick." he just laughed. "and stay off your cell phone." he hates cell phones, he even sang about it. another good laugh.
    I'll post some pics and vid later. Great night in Slummaville.

    Jonathan Richman fans should get this book: http://www.jewpunk.com/ Fascinating chapter about him and the Modern Lovers.

    Many times when being forced to ski shitty North East ice I find myself singing to myself
    “Ohhh ohhh New England”

    It helps me cope. Yes it’s skiing which is always fun. But it ain’t the rockies

    But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
    Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
    Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason
