    Probably one of the only songwriters who has conversations with himself in the middle of his own songs. "But you know, Jonathan...". It's part of what makes JoJo, JoJo.

    It is about time somebody recognized the genius of Jonathan Richman. I have been listening to him since the seventies. If you want to talk Avant garde, He is on par with the Velvet underground., Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa. You could also include Roky Erickson. I'm A Little Airplane , let's give him his recognition before he passes away like so many others that were not given their due.

    His Bostonian accent is so great! I love that it never disappears when he sings and almost sounds innocent and child- like. He's soo cute ❤️

    Is Adam Sandler's entire career an over-the-top bad impression of Jonathan Richman?

      dude.... that is so so disrespectful. So oh so so disrespectful of what's happening with Jonathans music.

      He perfected the art of the nerdy,awkward Jew way before Sandler and the Greenster.

    I saw him live with his band back in 1981. In a tiny night club/ bar. Great show!

    Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh love this video. He gives the best interviews, and this performance of Abdul and Cleopatra is gut wrenching.

    I had this playing on the bg without even looking at the screen and Abdul and Cleopatra had me smirking, then I came over to the screen to see how Jonathan was looking and I smiled real wide
