Saw his show last year in Atlanta and when it was over he just went walking off down the sidewalk in front of the venue, with his guitar. Musical genius. Love him!!
OK, I can interpret this song 2 different ways. One way is that he is just having an innocent conversation and doesn't want the neighbors' untrue gossip to run his life. The other way (=with reference to the hand-in-hand and the "yeah, so?") suggests that he IS having an affair, but his wife knows he's just that way, so that's how it goes. With this plus "My Career as a Homewrecker," I can see both interpretations. Help - what do others think?
@pizzagirl1964 well, i think that he is having just an innocent conversation.. i believe that the song is trying to tell us that we mustnt care about what the others tell about us because they are just "neighbours" in our lives. we have to care about how people whom we love think about us(his wife par example) and be sure that they trust us.
just one of the sweetest songs of JR.I was as a youngster at his first appearance in Athens in 1988,and i remember him at the doors of Rhodon club,just before the show,shaking hands and talking with fans...
Reminds me of Morrissey

Is she thick or just playing hard to get? Jonathan Richman IS a badman!
