Jonathan Richman

i always thought he was a more modern artist i had no idea he is older than my grandparents

protect this man at all costs

I don't say this often but this man is a treasure

🩷

Everyone should see Jonathan live at least once. Just saw him last night and he changed my life. He's still as sweet and energetic at 72 as ever!

when i went to see him live i swayed gently the entire set

i love how sensitive his music is

maybe my favorite modern lover. and there are. a lot.

i think getting a signed copy of the modern lovers live signed by Jonathan because my girlfriend asked him too will forever be the best thing to happen to me

Find someone who loves you the way Jonathan loves New England

That euphoria peak

I still don't get this dude. Are we supposed to give his music a pass because hes a nice guy? All I see is a gigantic groupie who aped all of his idols... and kinda poorly at that. I mean, good for him that he got to hang out with the velvets a bunch.

are we allowed to have that summer feeling this year?

I want to hug this man

the mr. rogers of rock n' roll

<3

Some of the purest music..

now after reading up on him through interviews and anecdotes, i reckon that he honestly is one of the most beautiful human beings to have ever lived on this planet

"indie" hahahahaha!!

man I wish I was as nice as him.

Met him last night! He is exactly how you would expect him; nicest, most genuine, down-to-earth dude ever. And how is he 64?!?

He is incredibly lovable. He's a bit like the anti-KurtCobain, we need more people like this genius!

listened to modern lovers, said meh, listened to because her beauty is raw, said okay !now this is what i was looking for

watch out for 2 new 7 inches and an new album later this year on blue arrow records!

Best there ever was in feelgood business!

yeah, yeah, yeah

офигительный сонграйтер, тут тебе и чистое рок-н-ролльствование с истоками в 50-х, и начало outsider music. Жаль, что в рашке видимо никогда не поймут кайфа джонатана ричмана и его проектов

Where's a good place to start with this guy? Loving what I've heard so far, but overwhelmed by the back catalogue..

Does anyone have the Jonathan Goes Funky demos? They have vanished from the web

I saw your live wonderfull performance in June in Toronto! I've been a big fan since the "Modern Lovers" That June concert was just what the doctor ordered after a major 3 month crisis at work. I'm a Social Worker working with adults with Developamental Disabilities, who also struggle with their mental health. I'm just putting in this comment now, due to somehow recovering, from all the work stress as I listen to your music tonight. PLEASE come back to Toronto very soon!

Unlike everyone else below, I've not seen Jonathan Richman play live, but would like to very much, because he's great.

I met this guy last weekend and dude is kind of a cornball. Also, he sang a song in french and then hurriedly translated it after each verse... gtfo with that shit... unless of course you recorded it that way and in which case I'll gtfo.

this guy is such a character. love him.

Saw him in Gainesville last night. Loved it!

@jinzou: actually vice-versa but I agree so much with that, especially Jens' new song "Erika America"

he reminds me so much of jens lekman...

"Kickasstic"

One of the most entertaining live acts I've ever seen. Fantastic!
